    We have a 20 with street pack and the looks brought the wife and I in for a closer look then we saw the price and still went for it. We have clocked 12k miles in a year and the more we drive it the more we love it! We just got back from the Ford Performance St experience in UTAH and what an amazing time that was! I have to say that we take hp and speed for granted nowadays but lets look at the numbers 5.1 0 to 60 and a 13.8 quarter out of a nearly 5000# 3 row family hauler is bad ass!! When you lite this thing up on the highway it never stops pulling, its a blast to drive! It was awesome on the Autocross and through the winding mountains. You asked if its worth the price? Is anything really? But I will say you forget all about the price after a week or so of owning👍. New Sub! Love the off the hip food storage comments😂😂

    Excellent review Joe! This Suv has now moved to Top of my possible Suvs to purchase as a busy 9-5 baseball Mom. I secretly love sport performance on SUVS. But that aside,I think price is a bit high in comparison to Telluride or others in its class. Unless! the good high end quality parts in this SUV are reason for 57k😳. I also need to test drive it and see how I like the ride. Definitely got to put on my high end thick tread tires i always use that really add to comfort of my SUVS. but I love you accessed it first. As you a prior formula 1 driver, if im correct. I totally trust your thoughts and take on each vehicle you vett. I like the zonk on no plug in for tech in third row. Come on Ford! Aside from that this ST is looking like a beauty. Performance and all. AWESOME video. Keep em' coming! 😁

    I’ve had 3 explorers since 2014… and I’ve been inhaling exhaust fumes on all 3 models… Are u saying that Ford hasn’t fixed that problem ? I’m thinking of trying something different when my 2018 lease is up in March.. Which SUV is comparable to the explorer ? Any suggestions ?

    Ok so I heard something on here that it’s 4 wheel drive and then you said all wheel all the time. All wheel is all wheel 4 wheel drive means it’s in 2 wheel (rear) and you have to turn on or it’s automatically switched to 4x4. Which is it?
    Then the engines. The platinum has two options 3.0 and 3.3 v6. 3.0 is 365 hp 380 torque, 3.3 is the st at 400hp and 410 torque. The st has the stability control bar over the engine. Which would be 3.3. Twin turbo. My parents just bought one today but we can’t find the cars facts. 2021 platinum exploder unknown if it’s st or not. I will have to find the turbo(s)

    Great vehicle, my dad isn’t a fan of the fact it switched to a unibody in 2011 and they got rid of the V8’s for it. We have a 2006 Eddie Bauer Explorer and its on its last leg. We love Fords and thanks Joe for the great videos and reviews.

    Purchased a used 2020 Platinum over the ST in March, with 25K on the clock. It does have some valid "zonks" as Joe put's it, but overall it fits our needs. Just made a round trip drive from New England to FLA, and the comfort and power was a plus! Would never buy these new though. In fact my last new vehicle purchase is still in my driveway; 2005 4X4 F150 Lariat.

    Good amount of performance, but not the best. Love the colour! Does the good outweigh the zonks, I wonder. Tons of twinkie storage, so that's a plus. 3rd row should be a dealer delete option.
    Thank you for all you do, Lori!

    I love the fact that you know what you're talking about when it comes to "on throttle" stats and performance! REFRESHING! That said, I just traded in my 2020 ST because to me, it just isn't worth the high price tag 60k with this lackluster interior. Step it UP Ford, put Sync 4 in the Explorer and fix that super small back up screen PLEASE! People who own this vehicle are having major problems with the interior ( especially the seats) ripping and deteriorating. Once again, Ford- step it up. Driving this ST is super fun and with a price drop or an upgrade in the interior should fix things, IMO. The good news? I got a great trade in price for my ST so all is good.

    One of the reasons I didn’t buy the Explorer was because of the taillight design ! They need to be a wrap around design. Hood prop is a great zonk Joe. Enjoying your reviews Joes

    This generation has grown on me liked the 1998-2001 generation around that time. This new one might better than Durango Hellcat take a Explorer over Durango a beautiful SUV wasn't fond of styling now think it's worth great performance and to buy.

    First thing i would do is have the front Ford badge sprayed flat black or gloss black vinyl and de-badge the "Explorer" off the hood. And it looks like they just put a large iPad in the middle for the info-tainment screen!

    Hi Joe! Love what you and Lori are doing. Very informative, and look forward to new reviews.
    On a different note, I'm a bit of a watch collector, and I've noticed several different watch designs on your wrist.
    What is in your collection? Or some of your favourite watches?
    Thanks, keep up the great work!
