If I were looking at a $43,000 regular Explorer (not even an STA) I would probably buy the SVT Raptor instead. Price for price I think the Raptor is a better value and will have a much higher residual down the road.
Still....The Raptor doesn't have anything cosmetic over the Adrenalin Sport Trac. They should put the 5.0L in the STA. I'd trade for that
