Questions: since the new Ex does not have the factory option of “side protection moldings”, how susceptible is it to inconsiderate SOBs whacking it when they open their doors next to you? Yes, I know those moldings can be added after market but I’m afraid that it might ruin the beautiful aesthetics of the new Explorer. Does the chrome trim at the bottom of the rocker panels offer any protection? For those of you that have added “running boards”, am I correct in assuming that those boards do fend off dings? I always attempt to park “out in the north 40” to protect my vehicles, but that’s not always possible when carrying passengers!
