When shopping for a new Ford Explorer, you'll discover two exciting trim levels that stand out from the rest: the ST and the Tremor. While both offer impressive capability and premium features, they cater to different driving preferences and lifestyles. Understanding what sets these two trims apart will help you choose the right Explorer for your next purchase. Victory Ford is here to help.
The Ford Explorer ST: Street Performance Meets Family Utility
The Ford Explorer ST is designed for drivers who crave performance without sacrificing practicality. This trim features a twin-turbocharged three-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The ST comes standard with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system and a sport-tuned suspension for sharp handling and responsive steering. Drivers in Dyersville, IA, will enjoy the athletic character this trim brings to everyday driving.
The exterior of the Explorer ST showcases aggressive styling cues, including a unique front grille, ST-badged accents, and 21-inch wheels. Inside, you'll find sport-contoured seats with ST-embossed leather and micro-perforated inserts. Victory Ford, serving Farley, IA, can show you why the ST is a great fit for drivers who want a three-row SUV with sports-car DNA.
The Ford Explorer Tremor: Built for Off-Road Adventures
The Ford Explorer Tremor takes a different approach, focusing on off-road capability and rugged versatility. It comes standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower. Drivers who want more power can choose the optional twin-turbocharged three-liter EcoBoost V6 with 400 horsepower. All-wheel drive and a rear limited-slip differential come standard for added traction on loose or slippery surfaces.
The unique suspension of the Ford Tremor raises the ride height by one inch, and skid plates help protect key components on rough terrain. All-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels provide extra grip on dirt and gravel. Our team, serving Edgewood, IA, can help adventure seekers see how the Tremor handles unpaved roads and trails. Distinctive styling includes a spice-colored grille bar, matching tow hooks, and accent stitching throughout the cabin.
Key Differences Between the ST and Tremor
The primary distinction comes down to intended use. The ST prioritizes on-road performance with sport-tuned components, while the Tremor emphasizes off-road capability with trail-specific equipment.
Families who enjoy weekend camping trips may gravitate toward the Tremor, and Victory Ford, serving Manchester, IA, can help you outfit one for the outdoors. Drivers who want spirited performance on their daily commute might prefer the ST. Our team, serving Earlville, IA, is happy to arrange a test drive of both.
Both trims can be equipped with the same 400-horsepower V6, but they deliver distinctly different driving experiences. The ST offers tighter handling and quicker acceleration response, while the Tremor provides better traction and durability on rough surfaces.
