Pulling up in an Explorer ST-Line says you made a deliberate choice to not disappear into the parking lot. This particular one comes with the Bang and Olufsen sound system and dual-zone automatic climate control front and rear, so every seat in this SUV is accounted for, not just the driver's. Picture yourself six months from now, typing a destination into the navigation screen before a Saturday drive that has no real agenda yet.

Ford Gold Certified means this Explorer carries a comprehensive warranty backed by Ford itself, which matters here because an ST-Line with this much equipment has a lot of technology you will actually use on a regular basis, and knowing that coverage travels with you keeps the enjoyment from being shadowed by anything else. The memory seat alone tells you this is a vehicle built around the driver, and the certification makes sure it stays that way long after you pull it off the lot.
