Some past Ford ST models in the U.S. lineup have included the now-discontinued Focus ST and Fiesta ST, both of which had higher performance than their garden-variety siblings. The only ST models currently sold in America are two SUVs: the three-row Ford Explorer ST and the two-row Ford Edge ST.

Following its debut in early February, the 2025 Ford Explorer entered production at the Chicago Assembly plant in May, but due to the automaker’s new quality checks, the refreshed model just began hitting dealer lots late last month. The Explorer’s more luxurious counterpart – the 2025 Lincoln Aviator – was on a similar trajectory, and also entered production alongside its platform mate.

Over the last five years, various automotive manufacturers have gone into overdrive with their hybrids and EVs. This is due to many reasons, with people wanting to limit the emissions from their vehicles or saving money on fuel costs. When it comes to hybrids, people can get the best of both worlds with excellent fuel economy with the help of a battery while still housing a gasoline-powered engine to give that extra grit. There's one characteristic that most hybrids share, and that's reliability. While there are hundreds of different SUV hybrid configurations around the world, one here in America has the highest reliability among its American cousins.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed.
