Took the 2020 Explorer ST for a spin… here’s my review

I helped set up the assembly line for these in Chicago. They had a ton of them lined up, and I thought they looked pretty sharp. Not a huge Ford fan, but still, they’re nice. That said, $60k feels like a lot once you add options.

$60k gets you a mid-engine Corvette… makes you rethink the whole 2 kids and white picket fence thing.

Forget the kids.

Uh, I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.

Yeah, just don’t have kids.

Kinda joking… kinda not.

I’d take a garage with a lift over kids any day.

How long before people start comparing heavy-duty trucks to Corvettes? Love the Vette, but they’re not even close to being the same thing.

@Hartley
Relax, they were just saying the Corvette makes you rethink the family thing.

I’ll just take the Vette.

Hard to tow a boat with a Corvette, though.

@Hartley
Boats suck anyway lol.

Is this the new meme car now? Everything’s being compared to the Vette these days. Need a 3-row SUV for the family? Just buy a Corvette, right?

@Sai
Not a meme, just saying you get more bang for your buck as a bachelor.

This is why my wife and I don’t have kids. We have two Mustang GTs—definitely not practical, but way more fun.

@Hartley
My girlfriend wants an SQ5, but I tell her kids mean no SQ5. Stick with the cars and skip the kids!

Exactly! Without kids, we can travel more and have fun without worrying about saving for college or childcare. Different priorities for different people.

It doesn’t look bad for an SUV, but $60k feels ridiculous.

Fair, but name another AWD 3-row SUV with 400hp and all the safety tech for under $60k. Doesn’t exist.

Durango SRT? Pretty close on price.
