Watched another video about the Explorer ST this morning. Short of seeing one in person, which I’m not quite ready to do given my disdain for car salesmen and a lack of local auto shows due to COVID (I once settled on a 2006 GTO based on seeing one at a show, crawling all around it, then finding a dealer I could conduct business with via email. Best car-buying experience of my life.), I’m changing my opinion of them from negative, to lukewarm, to somewhat positive.
If I was actually buying in the next couple of months I’d probably be trying to hold out to see the new 2021 Durango R/T in person and drive both that and the ST. The Durango has a few advantages, price being not the least of which, but also having less performance.
Sadly the XC60 has dropped off my radar, despite an increase in availability of the T8, now that they are marketing a whole line of “recharge” models, and a seeming reduction in price, I cannot seem to get anyone to confirm or deny that it is sufficiently “hybrid” to get me into the HOV lane legally, and I’ve come to figure out that the towing capacity is woefully low, making it potentially unable to even tow my golf cart to the sporting clays range, which is a necessary function of any vehicle of mine.
