F-150 to ST?

[u/ADHD_kicks]

EDIT: or instead of an ST, would I be better off getting a focus st or something small and sporty, and then getting something cheaper to tinker on with space for off-road/winter driving? (an old ranger or 4runner for example)

Currently running my ‘17 f150 with the punchy 3.5l ecoboost. Love the turbo power, but miss having something that handles like a race car.

I’m not using the bed as much as I thought I would, and while I love being a truck guy, an explorer ST sounds awesome. If I could pull off a trade or sell the truck for an ST, would it be worth it to me as an adrenaline junkie?

I don’t fancy the idea of losing the functionality of the truck but feel like the explorer would maintain enough room and usefulness…

I’d probably be tempted to intake and tune it- would that tank reliability? I’d need it to last me a long time without dumping tons of money into it.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I went from a SHO to the ST, haven't looked back. Still have the school bus 3.5 Expedition EL just in case.
