The Explorer is far from being a serious sports SUV, but if you want to get the most out of it performance-wise, then you'll have to look at the ST. The ST represents the most powerful SUV in the range, and its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine produces a healthy 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. That's 35 hp more than you get in the Platinum trim, which uses the same engine. Other than the increase in power, the ST also features a sport-tuned suspension and a sporty steering wheel with paddle shifters. The instrument cluster now features a 12.3-inch screen, and you also get added safety features such as active park assist and reverse brake assist.
