2020 Explorer ST VS TrackHawk

[Shokev]

Have the aftermarket to back it up with the challenger and charger in the mix. World is your oyster in the hellcat world.

I would hope so they been out since 2015 they better have aftermarket support

Supercharger cars are my favorite to drag down the street. I can literally hear them whining.

Dodges are always known for being dragged down the street, usually by a tow truck to the garage. I think they offer frequent flyer miles.

A supercharged 6.4liter dodge can't beat a supercharged 5.0 Ford.
Just facts broski.

I have a 2020 ST. It's faster than my 17' Explorer Sport. Not as fast as the modded Flex........
Because I lease, I can't tune, but I did change out the stock 20" wheels and tires. The 20" wheel and tire package weigh 74 lbs each!!! By going to 18" TSW Interlagos that I had on my TT Flex, coupled with Pilot SS 4 SUV summer tires I have cut 21 lbs a wheel (now 53lbs) for a savings of 84 lbs of unsprung weight. I also installed a set of the newly released H & R springs which lowered the ST almost 2 inches all around. What a difference!! A bit faster, but the lower weight definitely helps mileage. ( not that that really makes much difference to me).
I would guess that the 21" optional Black Factory wheels and Pirelli's likely weigh even more.

Plan on going to Bradenton Strip sometime this winter when we are back in FL.

Lets not get crazy with the ST being faster than the Trackhawk. This video shows a pretty heavily modded ST with a drag wheel setup against a first time racer in the Trackhawk. Any car can be made fast but mod for mod against the two its laughable. I'm a fan of the ecoboost and loved my Sho but the Hellcat drivetrain is a different animal.

My only issue with these comparisons is usually done at test n tunes where neither person commits to a race. I mean look at both of their reaction times they aren't serious racers by any means. Just a weird forced comparison however the st is moving for sure

What it’s about is a tiny V6 holding its own against an opposing company’s best they can do gigantically powerful SUV. Real normal people driving them makes it even better. Also, from what I know about the Explorer, it’s far from “heavily” modded.

It's not the size of the wave. It's the motion of the ocean.

What's an animal that needs to see the Vet very often? Come on Mopar guys help me out here. An animal that lays around more than it runs.

If I wanted a DD SUV, Trackhawk is the ticket. Mid 11s stock, with a full warranty. And the huge aftermarket if I felt the need for a 10 second DD with bolt-ons on pump fuel.

If I wanted to fund my mechanics mansions, kids college educations, boats, vacations, and wife's shopping habits, then and only then would buy a Trackhawk.

That's the only positive way I can spin this.


Even that is stretching it. Lol hmmm how close are they to a 3rd bankruptcy

It's part of their business model. Just like most airlines

I guess it isn't bad for 30k, I guess it's so cheap it makes sense. I mean that is priced based on its value. So yeah I could see if you only had 30k for a brand new suv, settling for a Trackhawk. At the just barely worth 30k and not a cent more bracket , yeah I guess so.

So at 30k brand new, I see your points.

I was at the track two weeks

10.10's at 135 with pulley four drag
tires and tune.. he drove an
hour to get there.. I was impressed..
Also very impressed with this St.
but definitely two different animals..

I agree that its very impressive, its just not a faster suv. I loved whooping up on unsuspecting cars in my little V6 Sho. Any car/suv that goes to the strip with drag setup wheels/tires is not there with minimal mods.
