Introduction: I admire the Explorer since 5th Gen. Needles to say, when I learned about the 6th Gen, I started to want the ST. For various reasons but mostly: performance and RWD.

I have recently acquired a mint low-mileage '19 Sport. I have performed a thorough maintenance (all suspension components + Bilsten B6, new tires, spark plugs, walnut blasting, new injectors..) and running 93 Livernois tune. It rides fine now with 431 hp.

but

I have just been offered a mint '23 ST. The difference in price (if I trade-in my '19) would be approx. double.
I initially wanted to wait a few years for a nice used '25 or '26 but this seems tempting.

What do you guys think? Would you say it'll be worth the upgrade? Will it be "twice the car" for the money?
Is there anyone who can say they miss their old (tuned) Sport?

I'm not in a rush to upgrade but as I said, it's tempting.

While you are worried about reaching your weekly limits, I have the opposite problem, GPT 5.5 has become so slow, I'm not even able to get to 10% of the usage - I can see it's producing perhaps 10 tokens / sec, in Fast mode. This has been an issue for me during the past two weeks. Anyone?
