They dont make them for the 21 explorer unless ones for the 22 fit. At least according to Ford website they dont.
According to the Explorer ST Facebook group they do. 20-24 are the same grill.

Here too. People see me and immediately slow down or get out of the way.
Kind of annoying but also frees up traffic on the freeway.

i thought the same until the coffee shop in our parking lot got robbed and shot up. within 15 minutes we had 6 cars in our lot, one was a police explorer but had none of the police "tells". that was also the day i found out we had clark county and vancouver pd cars with oregon plates
