ST Drivers...Male vs Female

[Autoworker]

I've read that 1 out of 5 Explorers sold are ST's. My wife is the primary driver of our SUV, with me driving it on the weekend. (to go wash it.) Around here when I see another ST, a female is driving it. Anyone else make that observation?

My wife is the primary driver as well.

Saw an ST the other day, a woman was driving it.

Not sure what conclusion I can make from that one sighting though ...

I see about 10-15 different STs per day. It's about half and half. I'm the primary driver of ours.

So far I’ve only seen 2 ST’s in my area, a silver and a white if I recall correctly. Both I remember having male drivers.

I've sold 10 STs... 7 male - 3 female.

However when our Bronco shows up.. I'll predominately drive the Bronco and ST will go to her.. lol

99.9% I'm driving mine. The wife has her own ST to drive

Seen one today (which is rare here) and a female was driving it.

I'm in NY and I see about half and half although usually when I see a guy driving there is a woman in the passenger seat. My wife primarily drives ours She would of been fine with an any Explorer but I wasn't letting that happen

Upstate NY Hudson Valley and it's pretty much a 50/50 split my wife(female) drives ours 80% of the time. I (Male) drive our Malibu most of the time for the MPG.

We have a ton of ST's running around in my area. I hadn't given any consideration to this but I probably do see more women driving them than men. My wife drives ours unless we're going somewhere together then I'll more often than not drive.

Same situation here I drive 50 miles a day for work 5 days a week but I drive the ST any time I'm not working.

I drive my st, I’m also a bit younger I feel than most other explorer drivers I’ve seen in my area Atleast, I’m 22

Yeah I'd say so. Most people your age can't afford an ST let alone a ln XLT lol

I do commertial hvac. Came from a bmw 340 but wanted to expand my side work more and needed somthing bigger, and ultimately a family car for the years to come while still having some sportiness to it, and thus the st came into play

I'm older than you and have owned several dozen vehicles, the ST is my first SUV/Truck.

Until now, it's been Mustangs, Camaros, and sports sedans.

Our ST is for my wife but I drive it 100% of the time when we are together. Asked her yesterday if she wanted me to leave her car alone and stop modifying it, she laughed and said have fun. She's a keeper!

Only my 4th vehicle, had 2 pickup trucks first, a beamer third which I traded on this st. I think the ST is my favorite all around car I’ve had, without just sheer performance coming into play

I think you are right. I know my wife does not like full size SUVs. She is a pretty safe but IMO a bad driver (over safe if that makes sense) I think most women like the size of the Explorer.
Its a work car for me so I wanted to keep the price point lower as I will beat it and rack up miles fast. I wont lie I love it though.

We only need a 3rd Row every once in a while so the Explorer fits our needs perfectly the size and MPG on the Tahoe and Durango we're the determining factor.
