2025 Ford Explorer ST

Hello! My name is Keith. My wife and I just purchased a 2025 ST in black. This is primarily my wife’s car but will get plenty of driving time with it.

We were heavily leaning GMC Acadia Denali, for the space and technology(Super Cruise) as well as the luxurious interior but fell in love with the Explorer ST the first time we test drove it. I love the V6 twin turbo performance and drive-ability. The Acadia, however super nice, only had the in-line 4 with a turbo and the engine sound flooded the interior, making me feel like I was driving a Honda Civic.

I feel like we got a great deal on our ST, which saved us over 6k versus the Acadia. While the Explorer is a bit smaller, what it lacks in space more than makes up for in smiles.

I look forward to the ownership of the ST and hope to do a lot of learning and helping on here.

Welcome and congrats! You’ll find the Explorer to be way better then the Acadia.
