Hello, bought a new '23 Explorer ST last month. Found this forum looking for info on the ST SUV Experience. Going end of July in Asheville. But, reading through, seems like an interesting source of info on my car. This is my third Explorer. Had an '08 XLT, totalled it when a Subaru Outback ran a STOP sign in front of me. I drove away, with the Trooper's permission. The age and airbags led to the insurance company totaling it. I replaced it with an '11 Limited. It's got 200K on it now, survived 3 deer strikes. The first two head on, almost no damage. The third came in from the side, ripped half thee front end off. All things considered, I'm impressed with the durability. I wanted to stick with a V6, so picked the ST. So far, I love it.
I'm really not looking to drive the tires off it, those days are behind me. At 60, I have calmed down a bit. I had my performance days, owned several older Mustangs, drove them like I stole them. A lot of F Series trucks as well. I've been involved in weeknight short track racing and USAR Hooters Pro-Cup racing. I'm mainly here to keep aware of updates, recalls and suggestions on products like tires.
