Vid is a bit long, but the ExST loves a tune:
No. No. No. No. A big fat soccer mom SUV should not wear the ST badge. Keep it as the Explorer Sport and all is well. What a shameless money grab to use a good name. Sorry not sorry.
I dont feel that the st nameplate is that prestigious or sought after. Just a couple of fwd shit boxes. Not as bad as a mustang suv.
Now, if the tune included a V-8 rumble soundtrack, that would be awesome. The 3.0 TT is a pretty good motor.Vid is a bit long, but the ExST loves a tune:

First off, they are comparing apples to bowling balls. How many people would be willing to sacrifice their powertrain warranty with an aftermarket tune on their new $60K Ford Explorer?
Secondly, I wouldn't let that guy drive a golf cart, let alone a 475 hp SUV.
His best 0-60 mph track time in the SRT Durango was 5 seconds?
The 8.63 sec. 1/8 mile he ran equates to approx. 13.5 sec 1/4 mile.
The SRT Durango has a NHRA certified 1/4 mile at 12.9 sec.
My best street times in my 2018 SRT Durango so far has been 0-60 mph = 4.2 sec. and 1/4 mile = 12.7 seconds on a cool dry 40 degree sunny day without launch control.

Here is quick video of one of my 4.5 sec. 0-60 mph:
ST/RS is essentially European SVT.
Yeah the RS' are badass machines but the ST's in europe didn't come out until 2004 (might be wrong) and I dont think compare to RS models.
