My wife and I went last October in Asheville after I purchased my 2022 Explorer ST. It was a blast! I swapped out the red ST badges with the black ones they give you signifying that you had the ST SUV experience. When we got home, my wife bought an Edge ST so we are set to go again this July. I highly recommend this to any Ford Explorer ST and Edge ST owner.

My wife and I just returned from our trip to Ashville Experience. It was amazing!!! And the Biltmore estate is so insanely amazing. We HIGHLY recommend staying a few extra days and enjoy the estate as it takes many days to experience it and the ST Experience keeps you pretty busy. You really get to beat up the ST with a track course, sudden lane change, and test the auto braking (my wife was in tears so scared the truck wouldn't stop, and all on video). They have cams in the car that you get to turn on and off and keep the memory card after the event! The 2 hour drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains is breathtaking.
Also, you get a set of black ST badges to replace your RED ones on your Explorer. The black ones are only available from the ST Experience, so that's how you know when someone's attended the experience.

I’m not sure I’ve posted this before. I think you’ll get a kick out of it…
Wife and I were in “their” ST, waiting patiently for our first exercise which was to be the sudden lane change and panic stop. I launched, avoided the cones and stood on the brakes. At that moment, there was a terrific KAPOW that rocked the cabin. I was sure I’d blown up their vehicle!
I drove around and got back into line for the next run. I had time to open the hatchback and found the cleaning crew had left their wet/dry vac, filled with pebbles, in the rear. It had flown forward and hit the seat backs under braking. From that point forward, my wife watched from the sidelines.

I experienced the power of ST brakes today.
I was backing up little bit faster than normal into a wall with some plants, and before I could understand what was happening, there was a big sound and car stopped stationary, as if it hit something.
I was relieved to know that it was just the reverse brake assist working and not really hitting the wall (I'm pretty sure I would have stopped in time).
Scared me and kids in the morning..

LMAO!! thankfully there were no cleaning products left in our Experience vehicle! My wife and I each got 3 tries at it and she hit the last cone into the shift twice, and last time she nailed in. I got it perfect all three tries. I told them this is normal driving in rush hour traffic, LOL.. so I have years of experience of doing this in all my vehicles! But we really beat the hell out of those ST's. slamming on the brakes, cornering, steering hard, etc...

My wife and I did the Ford ST SUV Experience yesterday in Asheville, NC. I highly recommend this to any new Owner of an Explorer ST or Edge ST. This comes with these vehicles to the original owner. It is a terrific program. www.stsuvexperience.com
