Talk about a buzz kill! While it will never be a Rubicon, I find mine does surprisingly well off road despite lack of low range and locking diffs or limited slip. I actually think it does better than my 2010 Wrangler unlimited sahara which also lacked locking diffs & limited slip. Sure it might have articulated better but it didnt even have a brake-lock diff so was truly 2wd (1 in front & 1 in rear) at all times; whereas, i've watched all 4 of my ST tires move in unison...

Yes, I was thinking the same thing here, someone is talking about doing something different with an ST other than hitting 142 miles an hour and right away there’s someone else to shoot the OP into the ground. I also bought the Explorer for the torque I can get out of it I and don’t need top speed. I also don’t have to do any rock crawling. If you read what the OP said it was a family weekend. I don’t think he intended on doing 50° rock crawling.
