Greetings!
I'm fishing for survivors' "comments" who might have been involved in crashes in their Ford Explorers. I acquired mine after totalling my Ford Focus (2006) Labor Day weekend. Mine is a 2000 XLS. I considered the safety rating of the Explorer based on this report, which isn't exactly "sterling". My Focus, on the other-hand, had a much higher safety rating. I was able to "walk-away" from the roll-over crash. I'm 64 now and grateful to have another vehicle, though my Explorer continues to surface longstanding maintenance-neglect/age-related servicing needs. So far, I've been able to tackle/conquer its needs...

For "entertainment", consider what a Ford Explorer driver might "experience" in the following incident:
