[QUOTE="walt460, post: 16082469, member: 100445"] I hope Ford learns from the Edge ST (disappointing acceleration) and makes the Explorer ST a real performer. I have a 2019 Edge ST and it is really a nice package, except that it does not accelerate like I would expect from a ST. I suspect that the boost is being limited in the lower gears as well as low RPM in higher gears, to protect the 10 speed auto. It is just not fast. A least one road tester pointed out that it is not as fast as the 2015 Edge Sport, which had a 6-speed auto. 4 years later, with more HP and Torque, the Edge ST is not as fast as a 4-year-old Edge Sport. Sad! I have a 2001 Lightning. I love it. It is a civilized Monster. You can drive it normally and it is just another 2001 F150. If you get aggressive, you can feel the "animal" come out, and if you stomp on it, you better be prepared, because even with 170K on the clock, it becomes an acceleration MONSTER. That is the standard for an ST vehicle that Ford established in my mind. The 2019 Edge ST just does not measure up! So I really hope Ford is listening and fixes their ST image with the 2020 Explorer ST. [/QUOTE]
