Is the 2020 Ford Explorer ST the BETTER performance SUV than the Edge ST?

The 2020 Ford Explorer & Edge are the first SUVs to receive the performance ST badge. Let me compare what is under the hood when it comes to their turbocharged power plants, and sophisticated AWD systems. Both of these Ford Performance SUVs have the big brake pkg. On the inside you will find redesigned interiors and technology for both. Is the 2020 Explorer ST the BETTER Ford Performance SUV over the Edge ST?

Ford should have kept the “sport” trim for an appearance package only, while the ST should provide actual performance upgrades?

[@IamJay02]

You don't need a question mark buddy

[@Bizness10]

lpmoora Both the edge ST and explorer ST have performance upgrades. If you think it’s just an appearance package you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

[@damariuseaton6678]

Aintcare He is saying that they should have a "sport" trim, that gives the cars the appearance of the ST, but with the same performance as the normal non-ST's. Kind of like an ST-line.

[@hemi300c4]

The Explorer ST has 400 horsepower and if you've driven one. No need to ask questions about performance parts. After a test drive with my son. He purchased a gray/black interior ST. It's so much better than the previous model in looks (interior and exterior), technology, passenger room and performance. It's the perfect size for his family, yet gives him the performance to have some fun when he's without the kids. It appears he didn't find any Zonks and he spent a full day with the Explorer before making the purchase and trading in his Ram Crew cab for a vehicle with an MSRP $58,000 for $49,900. I guess Zonks are personal preferences and some Zonk changes would likely raise the vehicle pricing. Maybe thats why I often disagree with them. I do agree the third row should have USB ports. My wife owns an Edge Sport which was the predecessor to the ST. It a great midsize SUV. No service issues after 35,000 miles and plenty of technology and power. Ford has done a great job with their SUV lineup.

I just sold my 2019 Edge ST to buy an Explorer ST. After I originally purchased the Edge I found that there are not many aftermarket performances upgrades for this vehicle. However, the explorer has a bunch and you can compete with the 392 SRT Durango with a simple tune upgrade. The Edge hasn’t quite got the following for tuners and aftermarket makers to invest in these parts. But I did like my Edge. Plenty of power for daily driving.

Just traded my 2019 Edge ST for a 2020 Explorer ST - oddly the exact same colors in your video. The Edge ST is a great vehicle and had a blast driving it with no issues. Unfortunately a woman in a Costco parking lot came up to me and said she thought my Edge was cute and pretty. Cute and pretty? Thought the ST was suppose to have somewhat of a bad ass attitude. So I got the Explorer ST and so far great in driving it. Plenty of room and an incredible smooth ride with real power when applied. Rear sharpe looking vehicle. Nice video.

I have an Edge ST coming up on a year in April and like it overall. I'm used to driving larger vehicles (I traded a Raptor) so the Edge is a lot of fun to drive. I also like the fact that it has the old style backup camera with full rear view without pushing buttons to make that happen. I'm hoping to be able to trade after end of this year for Explorer ST, Platinum or Aviator Reserve 1. Hopefully, by that time, the issues they've been having will be cleared up by then. On the other hand, the rebates are good on the Explorer right now. Easily can get $5k off plus I have X plan.

Those 2 are both WAY overpriced, but the fact that the Edge ST is only 8K cheaper than the very newly designed in comparison Explorer ST with newer tech is a complete miscue by Ford. If I were going to spend 58K on that Explorer, I would probably just splurge a little more and make it a Lincoln Aviator with the same 400hp ecoboost engine. No sound would be much better in that Edge. That sounds horrific for any ST model Ford.

Excellent review. As the market continues to chase after SUV presentations, it makes sense for automakers to continue moving their production in that direction, but I'm very glad that they've also managed to still inject some spirit into them as well. The Explorer especially demonstrates this, given that it can accelerate surprisingly quick. This could actually be considered a sleeper of sorts. It can run almost in lock step through the quarter mile with a 5.7 challenger. I personally think that the Explorer is vastly better looking than the Edge.

can you review 2021 ford edge ST?

[@stephenhendricks103]

Explorer: Laughable MSRP for the ST and Platinum trims. And that's why they're already being discounted by $5000 or more by dealers here in the Seattle area. The RWD and RWD biased AWD system is a plus but if you're hoping for a significant advantage in terms of towing compared to FWD platforms, forget it. At a maximum of 5300-5600 tow rating, that's a measly 300-600 more than several competitors. Even worse, a moderately options Lincoln Aviator (Reserve) at $4K-$8K more offers a 6700 lb tow rating and a far better interior. Edge: Only slightly less laughable MSRP. At 188" long, it falls at the lower end of midsize SUV's. That's convenient but like most others of that size it seats five, not six or seven. Putting the ST badge on what had been the Edge Sport added some pounds and what Ford claims is better suspension and a bit more (not noticeable) HP. Bad news is the Edge ST is not as quick as the predecessor Sport. Bottom line. Each is a vehicle that appeals to Ford loyalists and fleet buyers.

You mean to tell me there are no USB Ports in the back for the amount of money they want for the Ford Explorer ST and the Ford Edge ST towing capacity is far less than the competitors and it cost more. The only value I really see is the 2020 Ford Escape with the 250 Horsepower and the front looks like a snake.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally feel your pain! Thanks for your input!

[@VanquishedAgain]

I mean. Who would tow with an edge ST? It can tow 3,500 which is at the top of the range of its "competition"

[@aperxmim]

@@VanquishedAgain do more research, a Chevy Blazer RS can tow more than a Ford Edge ST

[@VanquishedAgain]

@@aperxmim yep it can, it's the only one that can but it's also not in competition with the edge ST. Now if you want to complain about ford not giving the regular Edge more towing than go for it. But the edge ST's 3500 lbs towing is at the top of the range and more than all its competitors

[@kamalporter706]

I would get the Edge ST over the Explorer but having an ST Explorer seems more special I think

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and input on that this one.

The fale engine sound from the explorer engine can be cancel? Why ford can t offer the digital cluster also on edge and also 360 camera?

[@RaitisRides]

Hi Florian. No you can not cancel it. That is a very good question which I think will be coming soon.

[@tonym6633]

They do have it. It's called a Lincoln.

"Nobody wants their Twinkie scratched"

[@RaitisRides]

AMEN Man!

[@pherron7471]

It's a shame because neither one is sporty enough. My wife has an Edge Sport and wasn't really impressed with the ST. She felt like it was damn near the same truck. LOL She's waiting for redesign or will just move on to the Germans I guess.

[@byrdterp]

......wanna hug a tree. Don’t have to hug a tree you have eco mode .......... hahahahaha .....liiikkee!!!!!

[@timk.537]

I get it, but "20 twinkies if you stack them vertically".. because that's something that people do? I have no idea how big that is! Lol

[@RaitisRides]

You have to use some imagination! ;-)

[@baronvg]

I still shake my head thinking about how car company, an American car company, that’s been around since the turn of the LAST century, has decided to end making passenger cars.

[@RaitisRides]

It kills me as well.
