What You Should Know Before Buying The 2025 Ford Explorer ST

This is the new 2025 Ford Explorer ST, it has gotten a facelift front and rear for this year and we think it's a huge improvement. For 2025 there are only 4 trim levels of the explorer and the ST is the performance version. We take a closer look and do a full review.

Ahhhh.. Back to the essence of your channel. When I first came across your channel many years ago, you were still working at Moon Township Ford doing your reviews on the premises. I have a 2020 black on black Explorer ST, and I have to agree and disagree about people getting out of your way on the highway. For those that use their rearview mirror, yes. For all the others that are oblivious behind the wheel, they stay put! I like the 2025, except for the wheels and the amount of features taken out of the ST..

Mike, you're right on time with this one. Back to the roots.

I got my 2025 ST 2 weeks ago in Vapor Blue… Love the color and have received several compliments on it. Much nicer than our previous Edge ST. 👍🏻👍🏻

Goes back to the day.. I remember when you worked at the Ford Dealership.. and did these reviews. I like the trip back..

The tailpipe design started back in 2016 and was a result of the carbon monoxide issues the previous generation had supposed issues with. My 2016 Explorer XLT was a buyback for the issue and one of the "fixes" was a revised exhaust that was installed on the vehicle which featured the tips with the outlets on the bottom that was there to help point the exhaust fumes downward instead of outward.

This is like going back to your older content. Really refreshing! More of this please!

My 2021 explorer got totalled on August 30th, 2024. Even though it was a big vehicle for me, the explorer saved my life when I got rear ended. 🥺

Glad you did this one. When I went researching 2016 Sport Explorers, I came up on your video, that was in September 2022 and I saw how much fun you had with. It sold me and I had to have it. Love my 2016 Sport. Love the what they did for 2025. I wasn't a fan of gen 6 2020-2024 because it just didn't look good in comparison. I put 275/50/20's on mine and true dualed it. Kudos!

The 2025 Explorer is fantastic. We received ours 6 weeks ago. Love it! The 3.0 engine is very fun!

Thanks for the review Mike, I just bought a 25 ST 2 days ago! It's a great vehicle!!

Just picked up a 25 explorer st on 10/3. It just came off the truck, had 11 miles on it. It’s awesome! The side mirrors project the ST logo on the ground in red

Finally a new video Mike! I know you are having some major personal problems at the moment, but it would be cool if you would post videos more often...

Was patiently awaiting for you getting into the third row seat.

Wow, this review was incredibly detailed and insightful! I appreciate how you covered all the key features and performance aspects. The visuals and explanations made the car’s strengths and weaknesses easy to understand. Keep up the fantastic work! 🚗👍

My '22 ST has the blacked out badging in the hood too. Wife ans I love our ST. Ordered new and delivered with 8 miles on the OD. Went to thr performance driving school in NC at the Biltmore that ford includes with each new purchase. And when attending, you get blacked out badges to replace the red ST badges. So anyone you see with black ones went to the school. Amazing two night trip at the Biltmore. Power output is amazing, got the full technology, tow, blacked out, co pilot 360+ packages. Also the AWD and 4WD options. I live in Phoenix, so not fully needed, well 4Wad yeah, AWD, not needed. But good gas millage, great handeling, excellent power and looks!!! Black on Black FTW!!!
