A-pillars taken from Range Rover

[cnsheets]

So maybe this was brought up before, but after looking at a few Range Rovers on the street it's apparent that they share the same a-pillar design. Funny thing is, if you do a google search, seems they have problems with noises and a-pillars falling off and such too! So we are not alone. Does this put us in the same class as a luxury SUV? But then again, Ford did own Range Rover and they still seem to share many common design qualities. Just glad we are not alone with the pillar problems.

They are def not the same.....but....the designers of the range rover designed the explorer. It pretty obvious in the way it looks.

By same I mean that they appear to clip onto the metal underneath instead of being all metal as part of the frame.

This design is used in many new autos. Ford just f'd up the original design.
