It is carbonized gray, moon roof, "technology package" which basically means larger screen and massage front seats!
Great sound system, I almost went for the cool, larger black wheels but they wanted an extra 3k for that, so I took the very capable chrome wheels that came standard.

My order is for carbonized gray, street pack, no tech (I wanted the smaller landscape screen), roof rails and crossbars (I carry a ladder to the boatyard), mud guards, captains chairs in row 2, and wheel locks. Oh...and no moonroof! I have an XLT now and never open the roof. So at $1695, headroom sacrifice, and potential for issues I left it off the build sheet. I love that we can each get exactly what we want. Good luck with yours!

The difference between the “Street Pack” and the “High Performance Pack” is not well described, but appears to be only brake parts. I’ve seen reference to “linings,” which I interpret as pads. Both are cross drilled rotors and red calipers, but I’ve seen nothing to indicate these parts are any different in the two “Packs.” Maybe someone else has more details.

I'm with @boosted_st ... who the heck quoted you $3k for anything? The black 21" wheels come with two different packs. The Street pack and the HP pack. The packs are not combinable. Its one or the other. The only difference is more aggressive brake pads (which I ended up taking off because they squeak horribly) on the HP pack. As far as performance goes though--the upgraded brake system on the street pack is well worth the upgrade--for <$1000 . You get more than just black wheels with red calipers. You get upgraded/bigger rotors and upgraded/heavier calipers as well. @Kingfish --i may revisit your dealer because they may be misleading you.
You're right, it's not documented well at all, but the only diff I could find in my research before deciding was brake pads. The larger rotors and different calipers were already part of the Street Pack. The big difference for the 2021 is that the High Performance brake pads are now installed at the factory and no longer a dealer installed option. The pads were/are like a $600 difference. I can swap them out for way less than that I'm sure if I want something more aggressive, that's why I didn't want to get the High Performance brakes.

from fodauthority.com “ Specifically, the ST Street Pack delivers vented rotors and larger calipers front and rear, which grow 18 mm up front, and 30 mm out back compared to the stock calipers on the Explorer ST and Explorer Platinum. If that’s not enough, then Ford also offers the High Performance Package. At $1,595, the package adds performance lining to those brakes.” The term “vented rotors” led me to believe that they were cross drilled. I guess they’re not, so I stand corrected. PS: I don’t have mine yet!

Literally just the 4 special black wheels (they $750 per wheel according to the dealer).
This was a one off thing that the owner was demoing. I don't want them that badly to drop an extra $3k when the stock chrome wheels look great too with the carbonized gray.

I took out ST on a cross country trip about a month after purchasing. Being 6’ 2”, I find seats to be uncomfortable on long trips. I was impressed with how comfortable they were on a long haul. The hp helped get around slower vehicles quickly. Overall, glad I went with the ST. My wife likes fancy stuff, and she has yet to complain about any lack luster items on the ST.
