I’d take the ST all day everyday. Has so much potential with a simple tune and Intercooler
Is that a mustang Gt
Yeah looks like ST suffered from higher intake temps as it raced the x6. B58 got that water intercooler
Take the ST with the horrendous styling of a paper door and the crapshoot interior? Why?
The driving dynamics are poor all you have is straight line speed. It's not a horrible car but there's reasons why this explorer is the worst selling generation ever(relative to its competition) and is dogged in h2h reviews.
@@roboticvenom1935the reasons why someone would take the ST would be the price. The power to price ratio just makes sense, especially after a good intercooler, exhaust and tune.
Edit: the majority of people have never even been on a track so so crazy handling is not needed, you a
already know most people are just racing red light to red light 😂.
And it looks the best too. Ford nailed it..
These Explorer ST's are no joke. None of these vehicles are
You should see the Aviator GT which I have. Based on the Explorer chassis but a hybrid. It's nuts. I never thought an SUV could be so fast.
Cops have these 400hp 10 speed automatic monsters on the road
@@yusufgta4341and still managed to get dusted , its the driver not the car lil bro🤣🫵🏼
75hp advantage it better win lol
Came here just to say this, my neighbor has one and I try to get it almost every weekend!
My step mom has an Explorer ST and the power is wow I've driven it a couple of times and totally impressed love the drive!
Been waiting on this run for a while so thank you Sam for making it happen. Few takeaways.. the 392 Durango without doubt is the quickest machine here. It ran a 12 second quarter in wet conditions which none of the other trucks could do on their best day so that's telling in itself. The Explorer I felt started suffering heat soak (?) as it started struggling to reel in the BMW in the later runs.. The biggest thing I noticed is on the roll race between the 392 and Explorer. When both guys kicked down, to me it looked like the Durango took a moment to actually drop gears (oldest platform and oldest transmission here), allowing the Ford to move out. Once moving the Durango was definitely quicker but he didn't have time to come past. Would love to see a roll with the Explorer and 392 with both cars in manual, I'm pretty certain the 392 would win by at least a car or 2. But that Ford punches hard for what it is, very impressive.
Exactly, that ZF 8 speed, if held on 2nd gear on 40-50 roll at launch much quicker. 3-4th gear are sluggish at those speeds
Thanks Sam for still having the X6 goes against the Durango. We like seeing the amount of distance either way👍🏽
My pleasure!
Yessir! Would love em even more as 3 way races . But seeing them all race is still cool.
X6 50i would’ve made way more sense in the race.
@@kingexpithiaThe X6 in the video is already 80 grand though. So not really.. it's too overpriced to use the 50i and makes zero sense since it's a twin turbo V8. Durango is also designed to tow vehicles and is a larger, heavier vehicle.
@@roboticvenom1935 you’re slow bud
Damn that ST is quick.. mad sleeper for sure..
With a tube it eats hellcats
should check mine out. it’s decently modded
@@anarky305lol
@@anarky305what are tune only running these days??! A Hellcat at 11.5 @ 118 isn’t a slouch to take down.
@@anarky305no it doesn't. You are a lying idiot
I can’t wait until we start getting 392 vs Hurricane races .
392 & hellcat Durangos are here atleast through 2025
@@tlrcamp8009 Production finishes July of this year
Love your videos Sam. I'm a Mopar fan but have to say that Explorer ST is a lot of truck for the buck!
The Durango SRT launch is insane. That’s what makes roll races so interesting because it’s a different story when you take the launch out of it. I was surprised on the roll with the Durango and the explorer as well.
@michaelbanko9965- These roll races are harder to match up, because there is no light that goes off @ the same time to start. So there is each drivers interpetation on when they should slam the go pedal down, so there is more of an uneven start that usually happens in a roll race, its like stacked tolerences. The more variables there are, the more the total difference can be. It shows how the driver matters, on when they react, late or early, it's not just straight up performance. Im glad @ least the 0 to 60 Mph, and 1/4 mile times are given.That's why all of these test's vary so much. It's the best sam can do, but it would be nice if the MPH was given for the 1/4 mile times, as this would show the top end ability, vs traction, and the drivers skill.
my explorer st launches better. 0-60 in 3.4
That rain didn't help the explorer. It spun out. On a dry day I think it would have ran much quicker.
@@justabrokeredneck- These were all tested in the same conditions= wet, temp, elevation, and Da. Also, im sure these drivers are not launching these vehicles with the best technique. Yes, im sure you can get 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds, in your explorer st. Great looking vehicle, as well. How much did you pay, and what year is it? Mpg, im very interested.
@@TheMeanmarine13- You must not have noticed, that the SRT Durango, also spun, on the launch? Same conditions for all vehicles= wet, temp, elevation, and Da. On a dry, prepped surface, they all would perform better, not to mention there is definitely performance left on the table, from launching better, to even more optimal shift points. This test is not that, this test is what it might look like on any given day, that an average driver might do, with just slamming the go pedal down, with no special driving techniques.
Got a 23 awd explorer st comi g from a 5.0 mustang to a 392 challenger and now a 3rd row crossover and been one of the the best roller coaster rides ever...
If you ever get a chance, drive a X5M comp and you will freaking love it. They are so dang fast it surprises people all the time.
@@BeamerTime354 the x6m is faster
What’s faster the 5.0 or the 392 ?
check out mine and you can see what a couple thousand will get you. there’s so much potential in the 3.0 ecoboost
@@simeonperry9572 I've seen races with different results. It seems like it came down to the driver.
That Ford ST is very impressive. I'd rather drive that than that huge Durango. How can you be impressed with that when some V6 from Ford pulls past you on the freeway. Who's drag racing these from a stop in day to day life...
Twin turbo. Buy extra warranty for sure
I've pulled up at a stoplight on the four lane highway and watched an ST launch. This was back in mid 2020 and I wasn't expecting to see it launch so hard and disappear that quick.
Huge Durango lol they’re similar in size just not weight
The explorer is also massive lol so you know how wide and long the new explorers are? 😂
Worst rated suv by every online and mainstream auto rating magazine
Love the comparison videos, i couldn’t stop laughing at their faces losing to the ST vs finally winning. They tried hard to crack a smile or cry 🤣🤣 love it.. good racing
That was a good race, those drivers were pretty cool. I feel like the ST and the 392 should get a rematch on a dry day for the hell of it. 🔥👍🏾
so you bring the highest hp models from ford, and dodge, but no X6M? that makes sense!
yeah cause they know the x6m would've destroyed the other two american shitboxes ahahaah
incorrect, dodge has the Durango hellcat which would put up hell of a fight against a x6m :)
@@Legendary-2024 yeah you right but would still loose 🤣🤙. The only suv faster than the x6m is the Porsche cayenne turbo gt. The urus is nearly as fast as the x6m but still loses
@@denikasmi1850I think the X6M gets way too much fan girl action. It’s not guaranteed to beat a Durango Hellcat and plenty of videos have it losing. Edit: the urus dunks on the X6M and runs low 11s. Do you think the X6M is running 10s stock??
@@S8ER im talking STOCK. in every carwow video the x6m walks the urus... the only suv that beats it and not by much is the porsche.. that s63 engine from the m5cs is the best engine on the market right now. it's built so tough and nobody can match it other than supercars.. than to each it's own, you like what you like
Nice races! ST is a tune away from rolling out on all of these.
And the BMW's B58 would beat all with a tune.
Own a 2021 ST salvage, & its been running smoothly for the last 2 years without hick-ups! 🤞
Can we get an x6 m50i?? The step down and affordable version of the X6m I don’t think anyone with an x6 40i is gonna race anyone lol
You are wrong. People will race anything with 4 wheels. Got on the highway to merge last night and had a lady in a base model Subaru Forester pull up on me and then did the ricer fly-by.
@@tmmurphy lmao you’re right about that my guy 💯😭
Sam you have to admit that bang for the buck the ST is unbeatable, it plays suvs like that x6 40 that is worth well over 100k$
Put a call out for a tuned ST (1200$ cnd) stock air filter stock intercooler and stock exhaust and it will hang with the x6 60 guaranteed,,, youtube would put a commercial between it and the others arriving at the line…
That ST is the GMC Cyclone/Typhoon of the 1990’s it hurts feelings for sure 😂
BMW is 70K why do you fanboys pull bs out of your ass😂😂
It was 75hp down to the explorer no shit it lost😂.
Try that with the MSport and those boats are toast.
The X6M is 100K and makes the explorers look like Honda accords
Been watching your videos for so long and I've always enjoyed them, Now I'm in Ontario Canada for awhile it makes me feel closer to the channel and i even appreciate it a bit more... keep up your good work👍
Thank you.
Early again. Your drag races are epic thanks for the content man
Appreciate it!
Stellantis going to those silly inline 6 engines...i thought you were a fan of the b58? That hurricane might be a similar beast!
give me a link to the guy with the Ford Explorer
cool races👍
Very entertaining. Thank you! My friend has an Explorer ST. It is quite impressive. That Durango though! If you couldn’t get the Hellcat version, the 392 looks to be a lot of fun.
I own a 2021 ST and I absolutely love it. For the price of a 392 durango I have bought and built my ST to make just over 550WHP and it still gets over 22MPG in eco mode. The explorer would have faired better in the drag race if you brake boosted at the line. The durango makes full power right away where the explorer has turbo lag. If it wasn't so wet and launched in boost they get off the line quite well.
Wonderful Video.
One astuce for the Ford Explorer Drivers: BreakBoost doesn’t work like that in the stock explorer.
Press beak one time quick release, break again and boost it for only 3s before the light turns green.
You gonna have more power like that.
Yep! Ford ECUs see the brake boost and dial power and torque waaaay back. Trick is to hold the brakes, then mash the gas and almost immediately let go of the brake. It'll launch extremely well.
Thank you! Great set up!
How is the dodge that slow with that big of an engine. Like if it was the bmw x6 m50/60i it would’ve EASILY shown them who’s boss.
The Durango is roughly 400-500 pounds heavier. That makes a HUGE difference pun intended. All that weight negates some of the extra horsepower, especially from a roll.
Weight. She's porky compared to the others
It's amazing how many car enthusiasts fail to understand the importance of power to weight🤨
@@queue1176 Blame the schools
BMW m60i(m60i doesn't exist you melon) is $100k+ and has a twin turbo V8. Why are you comparing that?
You are retarded
What's scary that cops in the US where I live drive these 400hp twin turbo Ecoboost 10 speed automatic beasts!!!
Why did bro in the Durango keep letting off so soon?? In both rolls, he let off before the end of the race. Come on now, my dude
THAT'S THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH THESE RACES. MOST DON'T KNOW HOW TO LAUNCH OR DRIVE THE CARS AT SPEED BEING RACED!
Anyone that has ever driven an eco boost is not surprised how well the st did. Imagine after a simple tune.
i got 21 gt durango thanks for the video 👍
Putting on your seatbelt unlocked the ECU on the 392. It gives you about 40 more horsepower. 😉
Tuned explorer st by ZFG is +100 hp. Ever go night night …
@@Kjillustrated I’ll race any of them. 😃
@@Kjillustrated Ehh Unlock for unlock the 392 is faster. Add boost to a 392 its even faster so its never really a competition. ST Explorers needs all new timing tables to have a chance. Ever heard of No replacement for displacement….
@@basedsavage1713I mean you just install a new tune and add another 100 hp lol. Installing a blower isn’t really “unlock for unlock” whatever that means
Start adding the price differences in the introduction boxes. That dodge got some rattling nosies in the interior or is that the camera mount?
That's the license plate sitting on the dashboard causing that.
License plate on the dash is causing that
Let’s be honest you use the slowest x6 against the fastest explorer st lol could have at least done the x6 50i not x6m but the 50i.
The B58 is highly underrated and actually making similar or same power as the Explorer 🤷
Actually pretty well matched! Bmw had the best launch and lowest 0-60 till the rain and in the roll the st and srt were dead on, power to weight being right there!
Durango SRT has the best 0-60 time of all 3 cars and by a significant margin. You can look up any automotive testing of the cars from car and driver and motor trend it's not hard
Bimmer forgot to put his “it’s not a real tune” tune on.
I have always loved how th explorer St went from mommas car to turbocharged sleeper like bmws have done to their suvs with turboscharger.
Great race
Seen a explorer st with exhaust , tune and upgraded intercooler and pipes made some nice power and running low 11s
Awesome Races..
Wild they don't drop gears before hitting the roll.
did bro just call a durango 392 THE BEAST??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We need a 2nd drag shot with the explorer he spun tires like hell
Right because my st be beating the scat packs ain’t no way a Durango got a chance
😂 that Durango sounds raggedy on the inside
That's from the licence plate on the dash ya goofy. You don't actually think they sound like that on the interior do you? They actually have very few rattles compared to most vehicles simply because the interior design has remained largely the same for a while and they don't use many ultra hard plastics(rather the squidgy stuff(
@@roboticvenom1935 mf i know that. i couldnt tell what it was. i know something was bouncing around
had a 2022 ST with the Borla S type with the 5 star tune and now a 23 SRT 392 with Borla atak, enjoy the Durango more in every way. Shame the later ST 's cheaped out and used the 4-cylinder 3 bolt rear subframe to attach the rear diff to save a few bucks. ST Also couldn't come close to towing my camper. Exhaust notes also don't compare. Ford 10 speed was nice, Durango 8 speed isn't bad either
Sad days for Hemi. They were great power plants.
The new Magnum has a lot to prove with reliability, performance seems exciting
Great video Sam!
I just hope the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) interceptors don’t use that engine. One might need a very fast car to pull away…
They have them here in NC. Our local PD and State police all run the ST.
The Ford would have won the drag race on dry surface. But I'm glad you guy's had fun. 👍
yea 2 extra gears and 500 pounds lighter.. srt still walked the twin turbo st from a dig! on a roll its a lil different due to weight and 2 extra gears.. but even then it was door to door and the hemi was pulling after that. id love to see a tuned explorer st vs a hellcat durango sam! can you make that happen? :) love the new light!
Canada has a good number of fast STs that could compete if not beat the DDHC, might be harder to find the Durango Hellcat but that would be an awesome video.
Ford all day long. Once I had a Ford Ecoboost 4WD I swear that was the best engine and 4WD I ever driven. I had around 200k on the dash before it gave me major issues but I want a newer model Ford ecoboost so bad.
Would have been interesting to have the current X6 version with the upgraded B58 to compete.
ALL OF YOU BMW FAN BOYS SOUND ALIKE! THE EXPLORER ST's DRIVETRAIN IS 4 YEARS OLD, BUT YOU GUYS NEED AN UPGRADED BMW TO COMPETE! Y'ALL ARE GOOFY AF! LOL
@@DalHarpJruseless comment 🤣🤣none of that matters if the Explorer has better power to weight ratio. That's why he said the next gen would be an interesting comparison since the power-weight ratio maybe evened out a bit. Reading comprehension is important my son
@@DalHarpJr NO, WE ARE JUST THINKING YOU MAY WANT TO COMPARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE CARS. WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
@@layne4376cause he's goofy af..😂😂😂
@@mrstevejackson100 😜
I have a Durango hellcat! With a tune lower and upper pulley bigger fuel pump bigger injectors on e85 you’re close to 1000whp! The Durango hellcat is the way to go.
To be fair it’s also double the price of the ST and something like 30k more than the 392 Durango.
@@S8ER yes it’s more but drive one and you’ll see why! most cars in it’s power range are double the price and not as tunable.
@@cdbnum1 owned mine for 3 years now 😉
Sam I'm digging the quicker scene transitions to keep the hype up 💯
Hmmm 🤔 Drag racing in the rain 🌧️ 😅let me head over to “this vs that” 😂
Ford has been whipping butt lately!
Drag race equals traction vs rain!! Lol
Excellent race. That Durango is an absolute beast. But wow! These interiors are some dark, depressing coffins!!!
that camera iso is low do to the back light
11:52 you are blind as a BAT! The Durango has a strong red leather interior that looks incredible. It has multiple color options in fact. It's Ford that's known for the drab black interiors and the BMW does have colored options.
@@roboticvenom1935 oh I saw it. I do appreciate the red leather as it’s not common. However, it’s being discontinued. We’ll be stuck with mainly horrible black interiors.
i would like to see the explorer st vs a range rover sport or rogue
Dude in the durango should really be wearing a seatbelt. And damn the rattles it's making is hilarious. And I love those trucks
The rattle is the front plate on the dash
The hellcat version of the Durango is amazing it’s fast and can hold up to 6 people plus it’s actually a great tow vehicle as well and highly tunable over the SRT version.
I think Ford lied as well on their #s. Just by how bad it beat the toyota having similar specs and its 0-60 is insane!
Love the video's!
That extra 700lbs is killing the 392
I'm taking theX6 for sure anyway of the week x)
The 392 is the underdog…the glass cannon. Slap a few mods on the ford and bmw and that V8 will get smoked…but I’d rather have the V8. It’s a dying breed but gives much more personality to a vehicle. If you have a V8…keep it…you won’t be able to get them much longer. Unless you get a Ford…but the 5.0 is just as complex and stupid.
Look at the Durango shaking at high speeds lol
That's the license plate on the dashboard ya dummy. Nobody would buy those cars if they actually did that lol ppl who own those 392 Durangos push 100 on the highway farrr too much. It's an old quiet interior
That would scare me away from it.
Another great video gentlemen!
Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve seen other videos of a Durango vs explorer ST and the Durango won rolls and digs. Driver error. The ST is still no slouch
That ford is a beast 🔥🔥
Very refreshing to see a BMW losing a race, especially to something like an Explorer. Not everyone knows how beastly those STs are
check mine out if you really wanna see what they can do
A BASE bmw though. That's the best st explorer. Put that against the best bmw...then see what happens.
Top of the line explorer against the slowest x6. If this was a x5 50i not even the x5 m is required the explorer would get rocked.
The ST is modified, vey obvious by the exhaust noise. Also how about bringing the X5 M50i or M60i to spank that Durango!
@@AgonxOClol it was mentioned it had an exhaust for “sound” unless that ST is tuned, that simple exhaust mod isn’t going to gain much of anything. Not exactly “modified.”
You know if you hold the traction button down for about 5 sec on the st explorer it releases all the power so you can leave harder taking off 😩😩 plus you have to build up on the st explorer 2000 to 2300 rpm
Awesome 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Should race the ST against the new BMW X5 xDrive40i or maybe a newer x6. Would like to see how they match up considering the hp numbers a little closer on paper as advertised(ST still has more hp compared to a newer x5 or x6). 2023 or previous years x6 is rated at 335 hp which doesn't seem like an even match with what the top of the line Explorer has to offer.
Durango is faster than the ST if they do a pull from 2nd or 3rd or even 4th instead of flooring it. It’s transmission is faster shifting
Came here to say this. My wife and I have a Durango SRT. It sounded like he had the transmission in Street mode. In Track or Sport mode, you'd hear it shifting.
My e50 tune Exploer ST vs a E85 tuned SRT (6.4) my explore drags it from a dig and a roll not even a contest. In stock form SRT kills it in a drag race
Yeah most likely
Nice...have to get top of the heap domestics to beat a base x6. I guess a win is a win though.
You’ve also got to factor in the cost. That ST is FAR less money. So this is likely a better comparison dollar for dollar.
You say the inline 6 will be silly. But it will have more horses and torque than all 3 vehicles you raced🤷♂️
Which one is the most reliable excluding the bmw right out the gates?
Nope..sorry. bmw is on par with lexus in reliability nowadays. That's why toyota uses their engines now. Get with the times.this aint 2005 anymore.
B58 is one of the most reliable engines on the market lol by some distance too.
I really don't think it's necessary to rev anything that isn't 8 cylinders or better! 😖
Agreed🤣
Have you guys done a drag race with a rav 4 prime?
Soon
@@SamCarLegion awesome! Can't wait
The st is a sleeper but idk the x6 sounds good and it pushes you in your seat you gotta try it out
You should SWITCH the LANES for dragrace as durango wins all, but loose pretty bad in roll race.
why was the Durango shaking and rattling so much? I thought the steering wheel was going to fall off
That's because he has a license plate on the dashboard.
@@roboticvenom1935 i'll go back and look but you can see the steering wheel bouncing around like crazy
Need to see a rematch with the m40i, that would have been a more fair race.
Yeah but that costs $100k+ and is a twin turbo V8. Doesn't make much sense
And a durango hellcat would be brought in for the M. Thus is neither top offering
Explorer needs to go to 5- star in Florence SC.
@Sam appreciate you racing the first round loser with the overall winner 👍🏾 That Dodge shook and vibrated a lot 😲
Really? A base model x6? Why didn't you guys run the 50i model which makes about 445 instead of the regular 375hp inline 6. The ford and Durango are not base models.
You have one?
Damn, get my e50 ST on this channel 🤣
YA KNOW!
Why is the steering wheel shaking so bad on that Durango jeesh
Goes to show you how fast those BMW’s are getting. Every year BMW is closing in on Porsche performance levels. And this the X6 is using BMW’s entry level straight six engine (B58)! I’m not saying BMW will ever necessarily flat out out perform a Porsche’s overall numbers across the board. Because the power to weight ratio stock wise ain’t gonna change no time soon! Say what you may? 😂
Durango needs driver mod
Bro in driving the ST at first is mad fine
Why not go with the X6 M50/60i??
Bro likes putting under powered bmws against cars with relatively same weight and big power difference 335hp is definitely not beating a 400hp with only 100kg difference but an x6 50i would’ve been fun to watch so ig he needs to bring the 50i
The Ford is tuned.
THE EXPLORER WAS STOCK! ONLY MOD WAS THE EXHAUST. A TUNED ST WOULD'VE WALKED THAT DURANGO WITH EVERY DIG.. ASK ME HOW I KNOW!
Dude the ST has a 10 speed automatic and 400hp from a turbocharged Ecoboost engine. It's stock.
8:26 he’s not pulling away or anything lol
The Dodge has lots of rattling in the interior.
In my city in Canadian dollars the prices for a brand new 2024 of each are
Explorer ST $72k
Durango 392 $101k
BMX X6 40i $105k
Wrong!!! Like always Canadian dollars is 93,000$ for the basic the top for this models is 102,000
If you’re going to compare do it fair!! You when with the top model I can do the same with the other two cars
83K Canadian for the explorer ST
@@kobekiko475are you trying to say a fully optioned ST cost 93k ?? Please tell me you are? Haha
Just got a 23 st with 10k miles for 45k
St is not 72k. Brand new they 62k. Used you can get them 35-40 for decent miles
“ we have Lewis Hamilton at home “ lmaoo
Didn’t understand, Ford ST won the first races against X6 and Durango, what kind of race she won ?
why would you not have an X6M in this vs the base engine?
Roll Race 2, Durango punched it a second too late
