2026 Ford Explorer ST: 400HP Makes This the Only One That Makes Sense

The 2026 Ford Explorer ST remains a polarizing figure in the world of performance SUVs, but does the 400HP twin-turbo 3.0L EcoBoost V6 finally solidify its place as the only trim worth your attention? In this deep dive, we push the CD6 rear-wheel-drive architecture to its limit to see if this Ford Performance tuned machine can actually handle its 5,000lb curb weight. Forget the family-friendly marketing; we’re dissecting the sport-tuned suspension, the aggressive gear hunting of the 10-speed SelectShift transmission, and the raw 415 lb-ft of torque that separates the ST from the rest of the 2026 lineup. We’re answering the only question that matters to enthusiasts: is the Explorer ST a legitimate performance vehicle, or just an engine in search of a chassis?
