    Yeah, I know it's built for off road and it weighs 5,750 lbs. But it's still too slow. Edmunds Test

    C&D Test: 355 hp 2022 Acura MDX Type S

    I prefer the ST's styling over the MDX Type-S, both have nice interiors with the ST costing $14k - $17K less. Type-S is nice, but I'm not all that impressed given it's cost and level of performance. Tested: 2022 Acura MDX Type S Aims for Higher Echelons...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    This forum has 4,695 members. Let's say 80% actually own ST's (3,756). I want to see how many have had the bolt failure related to Safety Recall 22S27. Please, no flaming, arguing, personal opinions, or debates about Bigfoot, UFO's or the Loch Ness Monster.:cool: I just want cold hard facts...

    Car & Driver tests $108k 450 hp/6,100 lb Lincoln Navigator. Results as expected ...

    Where on earth did they add an extra 1,225 lbs in weight? It's lateral acceleration/braking/mpg numbers are more reminiscent of a vehicle from the 70's. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a39317584/2022-lincoln-navigator-drive/ By The Numbers: Navigator / ST 0-60 mph: Nav 5.3 sec / ST 5.2...

    FYI: Maximum Speed In Gears ...

    Publications like C&D and R&T used to have detailed road test charts that showed maximum speed in gears. They rarely do them any more so I did it myself. First 6 gears for stock 20"/21" ST wheels (outside tire diameter is the same) at maximum engine RPM of 6,000 - 6,250 - 6,500:

    MPG: ST vs. Stinger GT AWD

    I was getting ~20 mpg average with my Stinger, now getting ~19 mpg with the ST. Not bad at all considering the ST makes more hp while also carrying an additional 700 lbs in weight!

    SHO vs Fusion Sport vs ST?

    These were the quarter mile times from my other Ford V6 twin turbo's (100% bone stock). I'll have to make a lap with the ST after I get some miles on her (less than 500 now) to see how it compares. 2014 SHO 2017 Fusion Sport

    Thoughts on Sport Mode ...

    I've had my ST for a few days now and noticed that acceleration feels decidedly better in "Normal" mode than in "Sport." Sport Mode seems to be holding it back, in Normal Mode it lets loose and hauls. I'm still on dealer's fuel, so I'll put in 93 when I'm down to half a tank. Not sure that...

    Why I did buy the Explorer ST, and other various musings ...

    It looks great, the sticker price was 53k, it came with enough options to keep my busy, it doesn't weigh 6,000 lbs like a luxury Ford SUV, which makes its 400 hp feel pretty quick. :-)

    22 Iconic Silver in the driveway!

    Took me about a month of searching to find one I liked that was being sold at sticker price. Mission Accomplished!
