Hi all. I have had Ford Trucks for years, and have been towing my 2010 Grand Sport Vette to Florida from Wisconsin every winter behind our 2018 Ford F250 Lariat. We have recently sold the house in Wisconsin and moved to Florida full time. I no longer have a need for a tow vehicle, so we have just traded the truck for a new rapid red Escort ST with the premium tech package, Street Pack, bench second row seat and the roof rails. so far seems like a great ride with excellent performance. Only mild issue I have is with the engine noise. Other than turning up the stereo, does anyone have any suggestions for that?.
We know you didn’t mean Escort. :)

I had bought a used 2020 and it turned out the previous owner had put in a Borla exhaust. Every time I start it I want to give that person a hug. Went to get a oil change today and knew immediately when my ST was done!

What's up early adopters, Mike here. Took delivery of my ST two days ago, now at 176 miles. Came from a very bad Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel experience; it was a 2014, first model year for the diesel. So I have learned nothing as I plunge into the new model year of the Explorer. :) I'm enjoying the car so far, BUT... there's a leak on my garage floor. That's not good! Any idea on what that might be? I'm babying the car as I break it in, haven't really gotten into the throttle yet. Looking forward this adventure!
I just brought mine in and there’s a. Leak in one of the shocks.. I’d look into that.

Nice, congrats on the new purchase.

Hello and welcome to Explorer ST Forum, the premier community for Explorer ST owners from around the world. Please take a moment and post your introduction and let us know a little bit about yourselves.
I recently took delivery of my 2021 ST, all blacked out. My previous ride was an Audi A7, which was an outstanding vehicle, but was totaled in an accident. Although I really like the European cars, I decided to go with the ST in lieu of Audi Q8, Jag F-Pace, or Land Rover based on price and performance. So far, I am pleased with my choice. I got the package that included the large map screen, which I like a lot. Also, the Sync 3 navigation system is simple to use; far easler to use than the Audi’s navigation system. Overall, I highly recommend the ST over its European competitors based on performance and price.

Hi all. Tommy here, Just purchased a new 2021 Explorer ST! Giving my 2013 Focus ST to my nephew. Hope he takes as good care of it as I did! I pick it up tomorrow and will post pictures, but after the test drive I am very excited. The Focus was an awesome car on and off track. I do not plan on tracking this vehicle but when taking trips to the mountains I believe this new vehicle will give me the performance as well as the versatility of carrying more cargo. I look forward to exploring this forum and adding as I go on this journey.

Hello Explorer ST lovers, I'm Tom and I live in Sacramento CA with my wife Simone. We had an Explorer XLT with the sport package in Ruby Red for 2.5 yrs and took it in for service. While waiting in the showroom we decided to look at the inventory outside where we met Rafael. Six hours later we left with the Explorer ST in Magnetic Metallic. Totally unplanned. We love it. I'm retired and enjoying my first 400 hp Hot Rod!
Same story. We are in Elk Grove with the 2021 iconic silver st. Enjoy.

Hello, all! First time ST owner, sort of. I had a 2016 Explorer Sport for a few years. Yesterday I picked up my 2021 Explorer ST. Even after a few drives I’m only up to 50 miles on it, but wow, what an amazing vehicle. Looking forward to learning here on the forum! 21B3DCBB-20AC-4B92-871C-CE3B252DA133.jpeg

Hello from Oregon! First post here. Currently in the market for an ST, but haven’t found the “one” yet. I owned a Ranger for about 10 years a while back, and have been in a Silverado 2500 since 2013, which has been a great truck. Below is the real baby of the garage, but I’m excited to add another Ford to the stable soon to replace my wife’s Jetta!

Hi all, just picked up a white ST in San Diego. White ones were like finding hens teeth, nearly everyone I found was a demo. Coming from an RT Charger its nice to sit up a little higher but I'm not sure about the moonroof, anyone had any issues with theirs? Didn't really want one with when you find a hen's tooth you grab it! image000002.jpg
