compared to an eco boost PIU, Do they have same brakes? same structures and braces, is the ST rated for 75 mph rear impacts also, is the ST lighter?

At least according to what I've been able to find on the internet, engine is the same, brakes are the same. I also read there is some additional cooling for parking for long periods of times and different fluid coolers. There are several other differences and some are custom- bracing, seats, ballistic shielding, mounting points for computers, shotguns, etc. I doubt the ST is setup for a 75 mile collision in the rear- that's protection from drunken idiots who manage to crash into the back of police cars on a stop. Lightness would depend on options, I'd bet the ST is lighter.
