ZanatWork Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Apparently, kinda somber. From the review, it seems that the ST has a good ride, is very capable, but it feels somewhat disconnected and is less "bonkers" than the Durango SRT. I'll reserve my judgement until I drive one, but my initial concern would be that this sounds worryingly similar to the knocks on the Fusion ST.

akirby Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Pretty similar to the Edge ST. It's just a mildly tuned sport model developed at the same time as the other models. It's far more refined than the Durango SRT, $10K cheaper and will handle and brake better. And it looks way better. I'll take all that over a few tenths 0-60 all day. Steering is a little disappointing though. Probably needs more tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Interesting, both MotorTrend and Car and Driver had better first impressions of the Explorer ST. They both said it had chops that the Edge ST does not. Check it out. I'll add links when I get a chance.

If this time is duplicated then my hunch will be correct. If the Aviator GT isn't too tubby, I think it will be in the mid to high 4's. Mostly just a spec sheet thing, as your aren't going to whip around town like that with your family with you....or at least you shouldn't.

Tach is center - speedo to the left - not as important as rpm - at least when you have a Manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I probably use my HUD more than the regular gauges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
