All were very nice vehicles. The Platinum had the 3.0 in it, the Limited the I-4.
The ST *moves*. It's ride is definitely more harsh then the PL/LI. (my wife has back issues, so I am pre-eval'ing them all). There's no way she could do the ST, unfortunately
The Platinum had the large iPad screen in it - it's HUGE. Seems overkill to me. It rode great, and it seemed a bit quicker then the limited.
The Limited had the I-4 in it, which is what I was most curious about. I was hesitant about the huge SUV's weight with a 4-cylinder. If I hit the gas (I didn't floor it, it's not my vehicle) there's that turbo lag, and then there's the transmission trying to find a gear. But - I felt that on the Platinum - maybe to a slightly lesser extent. The ST - it just took off with seemingly less delay.
For some background, my daily is a Focus RS (yes, my wife hates it). We are looking at purchasing a 2020 Explorer for her if the ride is smooth enough. I think it'd be perfect for us w/ the Limited w/ the 18" tires. But we can't get that. We need the limited's 10-way passenger seat. But to get that Ford boosts you to the 20" rims.
Anyway, I hope this helps someone. I have found many of all the forum's prior posts quite helpful in our travails trying to evaluate whether this vehicle will work for us or not.
Thanks,
Shane
