Just stopped by a local dealer and looked at 5 Explorers.

And the 5th one was a ST as well without it.
Looks like based on these 5 that the 3.0s dont get it and the 2.3s do. Not saying this is correct but that's the case with the 5 on this lot.
Doesn't the Platinum have the 3.0 just detuned a smidgen? It might have to do with aero performance. Ford Performance has guidelines on performance and areo before a car can have Ford Performance badging or name on it. Maybe the ST is supposed to get one that is slightly different and there will be a magic recall later for all ST owners to come get theirs. Or it created too much aero drag and they took it off but didn't update the parts catalog.
