- Reliability (3)3 out of 5 starsWhile Ford has made strides, Explorer reliability ratings have historically been a mixed bag. The ST's more performance-oriented nature could introduce potential complexities over the long term, though anecdotal evidence is generally positive for recent models.
- Maintenance (3)3 out of 5 starsRegular maintenance will be standard for an SUV, but the ST's turbocharged V6 and performance-oriented components might lead to slightly higher costs for certain repairs or specialized servicing compared to a non-performance variant. Parts availability is generally good.
- Technology (4)4 out of 5 starsFord's SYNC infotainment system is user-friendly, and the available large touchscreen is responsive. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the driver-assistance features are comprehensive and well-executed.
- Comfort (3)3 out of 5 starsRide quality is on the firmer side, especially with the larger wheel options, which can make for a less serene experience on rough roads. Seat comfort is generally good for daily commutes, but longer journeys might reveal some shortcomings.
- Dynamics (4)4 out of 5 starsThe Explorer ST offers a surprisingly engaging driving experience for an SUV, with responsive steering and a powerful V6 engine that makes acceleration brisk. Body roll is present but well-controlled for its class.
