[@roboticvenom1935]

Take the ST with the horrendous styling of a paper door and the crapshoot interior? Why? The driving dynamics are poor all you have is straight line speed. It's not a horrible car but there's reasons why this explorer is the worst selling generation ever(relative to its competition) and is dogged in h2h reviews.

@@ruebzrandomreactionz3488 yeah but if you're just racing red light to red light- which is fine btw I'm aware many ppl do that. Why are you buying this massive car with a cramped 3rd row? If you want the practicality there are FAR better vehicles. This shouldn't be the fun vehicle

[@michaelbanko9965]

The Durango SRT launch is insane. That’s what makes roll races so interesting because it’s a different story when you take the launch out of it. I was surprised on the roll with the Durango and the explorer as well.

[@evilinside5984]

@michaelbanko9965- These roll races are harder to match up, because there is no light that goes off @ the same time to start. So there is each drivers interpetation on when they should slam the go pedal down, so there is more of an uneven start that usually happens in a roll race, its like stacked tolerences. The more variables there are, the more the total difference can be. It shows how the driver matters, on when they react, late or early, it's not just straight up performance. Im glad @ least the 0 to 60 Mph, and 1/4 mile times are given.That's why all of these test's vary so much. It's the best sam can do, but it would be nice if the MPH was given for the 1/4 mile times, as this would show the top end ability, vs traction, and the drivers skill.

[@justabrokeredneck]

That rain didn't help the explorer. It spun out. On a dry day I think it would have ran much quicker.

[@evilinside5984]

@@justabrokeredneck- These were all tested in the same conditions= wet, temp, elevation, and Da. Also, im sure these drivers are not launching these vehicles with the best technique.

[@evilinside5984]

@@TheMeanmarine13- You must not have noticed, that the SRT Durango, also spun, on the launch? Same conditions for all vehicles= wet, temp, elevation, and Da. On a dry, prepped surface, they all would perform better, not to mention there is definitely performance left on the table, from launching better, to even more optimal shift points. This test is not that, this test is what it might look like on any given day, that an average driver might do, with just slamming the go pedal down, with no special driving techniques.

​@@simeonperry9572 I've seen races with different results. It seems like it came down to the driver.

[@Driver.Diaries]

Been waiting on this run for a while so thank you Sam for making it happen. Few takeaways.. the 392 Durango without doubt is the quickest machine here. It ran a 12 second quarter in wet conditions which none of the other trucks could do on their best day so that's telling in itself. The Explorer I felt started suffering heat soak (?) as it started struggling to reel in the BMW in the later runs.. The biggest thing I noticed is on the roll race between the 392 and Explorer. When both guys kicked down, to me it looked like the Durango took a moment to actually drop gears (oldest platform and oldest transmission here), allowing the Ford to move out. Once moving the Durango was definitely quicker but he didn't have time to come past. Would love to see a roll with the Explorer and 392 with both cars in manual, I'm pretty certain the 392 would win by at least a car or 2. But that Ford punches hard for what it is, very impressive.

[@vincealince_SRT]

Exactly, that ZF 8 speed, if held on 2nd gear on 40-50 roll at launch much quicker. 3-4th gear are sluggish at those speeds

[@amberbyrd4430]

Yea mine couldn't keep up before the tune. It eats my buddy's now though. Got about 100 extra to the wheels with the tune. And the ten speed is amazing always ready. But my will handle way better than the Durango. I got the Sport pack. The engine is so low and way back. It dont start till the middle of the front tires. The battery is in the dash. They are pretty impressive on twistys.

[@zachkappes6199]

What do you mean oldest? Essentially the same transmission as the x6

[@zachkappes6199]

Being in manual mode doesn’t make a car faster. It’s merely to allow the drive to control which gear it’s in. Which is handy for spirited driving through curvy roads. Or to keep in a low gear going down a mountain.

[@Driver.Diaries]

@@zachkappes6199 manual helps with kickdown, so you're not waiting for it to drop gears. So yes, on a rolling start being in manual is quicker. And yes it's the oldest transmission and platform here.

I own a 2021 ST and I absolutely love it. For the price of a 392 durango I have bought and built my ST to make just over 550WHP and it still gets over 22MPG in eco mode. The explorer would have faired better in the drag race if you brake boosted at the line. The durango makes full power right away where the explorer has turbo lag. If it wasn't so wet and launched in boost they get off the line quite well.

[@AudiSCv]

How much did it cost you to build a Ford ST to get 550 HP? I'm asking because soon I would like to buy such a Ford and bring it to Poland. I believe that it is already fast in the original version, but I would like something more under the hood😅

[@BlackSheepRacing88]

@AudiSCv I've added a lot of parts not required to add power (wheels & tires, louder blow off valve, lowering springs, etc.) but if I just add the power adding mods I have: Whipple intercooler ($1100) E50 tune by ZFG Racing ($600 tune and HP Tuners device/credits) FenFab Cold Air Intake ($1100) FenFab Charge Pipe and BOV ($500) FenFab Catted Downpipes ($1000) Thermal R&D 3" Catback ($1800) Total roughly $6000 in power adding mods but you'll also want to do some suspension mods at that power level as well such as a rear diff brace, toe arms, vertical links, and rear subframe bushing lockouts. Also a catch can was the first thing I put on and it has proven to do a lot. I went with the JLT for under $200. My fuel system is the bottleneck right now but there's a supplemental port injection system in the works that will solve that issue.

[@AudiSCv]

@@BlackSheepRacing88 I thought it would cost more. $6,000 is not that bad just for increasing the power, but I would probably have to import all these parts from the USA because I certainly won't be able to get them in Poland. well, I'll have to think about something once I buy my ST

[@BlackSheepRacing88]

@AudiSCv The majority of power gains before replacing fuel system components and turbos are going to come from ethanol and a tune. The intercooler isn't going to add power but these engines heat soak pretty easy after a couple back to back pulls with how small the stock one is. Just E50 and a solid tune will get you to 500HP alone.

Durango is faster than the ST if they do a pull from 2nd or 3rd or even 4th instead of flooring it. It’s transmission is faster shifting

Came here to say this. My wife and I have a Durango SRT. It sounded like he had the transmission in Street mode. In Track or Sport mode, you'd hear it shifting.

That's from the licence plate on the dash ya goofy. You don't actually think they sound like that on the interior do you?

I think the X3 M40i or the LCI X6 would of been better match because they make more HP.

X3 is too small. Not a apples for apples comparison

[@BeamerTime354]

You could throw a x5 m60i out there but it would just whip on those 2 suv.

[@frankkhan3024]

If comparing HP this X6 was way underpowered. The x3 m40i puts out "382" HP while the 2024 X5 and X6 puts out 375 which would of been a more apple to apple comparison. I would love to see the new facelifted X6 40i drag race the pre LCI and see how much of a difference it makes

Canada has a good number of fast STs that could compete if not beat the DDHC, might be harder to find the Durango Hellcat but that would be an awesome video.

9-10th gears on ford/GM’s 10 speed are overdrive gears. Essentially fuel economy gears. So only 1-8th would/should be being used if speed is your priority

[@debjyotichatterjee8751]

Should race the ST against the new BMW X5 xDrive40i or maybe a newer x6. Would like to see how they match up considering the hp numbers a little closer on paper as advertised(ST still has more hp compared to a newer x5 or x6). 2023 or previous years x6 is rated at 335 hp which doesn't seem like an even match with what the top of the line Explorer has to offer.
