Would you upgrade to LCI 2024 ST or go with something else?

Vehicle purchases are usually heart over head decision for most. So my views won't matter to you.
I like to keep my vehicles for long and whatever problems comes on the way can be dealt with less out of pocket expenses than buying a new vehicle.
If you are looking at a worthy upgrade form ST, they are 1.5 to 2 times cost compared to Ford.
But if money is not a limiting factor, you should definitely try something else for 24, than a facelift ST. I don't like the front end of 24 and I would try to get the info screen from it though.

I did just now, but as soon as I read that Genesis is under Hyundai brand then I think it is not for me. I have to check it out in person but I am not a big fan of that oval like design. I like ST looks much much better. I read that they do give that 100,000 miles powertrain warranty for what it's worth.
I agree 100% the Explorer ST curb appeal is hard to beat, I love it. I just cant handle the continuous QC issues. I'm on recall number 6 now waiting for more cameras to be released, SYNC is an absolute disaster with no improvement in sight. FordPass works maybe 60% of the time. The materials just aren't quality that can demand almost $70K now for a full load. I share same concerns about top tier Hyundai but Genesis has been smashing all the awards and their warranty is 5 years not 3 years like Ford. Their multimedia system is far superior to SYNC of any generation. Their materials inside are vastly improved over any Ford product. It bothers me to look elsewhere but I lived through My Ford Touch nightmare then SYNC3/4 so I have PTSD from all the bad memories.
I sold my 22 g70 for this ST. I drove the g80 3.5TT and it really wasn't very fast compared to my G70, and still a tick slower than this ST. The steering on the ford is superior, but the finish and infotainment shines on the genesis. Expect to pay 25k more for the genesis also and lose some third row comfort.
