I would always recommend one of these to someone if this is what they are in the market for. I have loved them for years and will continue buying them myself.

This is not my first Explorer. I had a 96 XLT before this one. I love the interior of the Explorers. Very comfy, long drives don’t really leave you stiff.

I think that the people who worry about vehicles rolling over, are the ones who need to give up their licenses. The vehicle doesn’t roll over on its own, its all driver error. SUV’s are vehicles with high a center of gravity, you can’t drive them like a car! Most people are doing too much while trying to drive anyway and are accidents waiting to happen. Roll over is the last thing that should on your mind. If you pay attention to the road and the vehicle you are driving, you won’t have to worry about it.

You are both absolutely correct It was Car and Driver magazine and they rigged up an Explorer to dump the air in a tire instantly. Briefly, they concluded that it was not the car, but rather the driver’s reaction when the tyre delaminated that caused the accident. Try this link, it is still on their website.

None of these nancy boy trucks for me either. I’d want one with the biggest bull bar and as many 500 watt spotlights as I could fit on it. And a bloody great petrol engine too, none of this greenie diesel rubbish either. I reckon, if we’re going to have global warming, we should do it properly or not at all!

Remember, you don’t leave a carbon footprint if you drive everywhere.

Most people ignore the facts. The tires were proven to be the problem .That is why there is a law that all new suv’s and vans must have TPMS. Also any old SUV will roll easily. Toyota just put independant rear suspensions on the 2011 4runnrer. Thre are lots of 20 year old American pickup trucks on the road. All of the old Asian trucks have rusted away.

This is true, and I don’t usually back Adam up. So please get your facts straight guys before bagging this car.

wow, once again the truth is ignored and lies are used by some who comment on here.

Fact 1. The Tyres were the problem
Fact 2. In 9/10 cases the driver over reacted when one of the tyres did fall apart resulting in losing control of the vehicle and more often than not would roll over as ANY vehicle in this class and gae bracket would.

One of the leading US auto mags did testing with USED explorers, making the tyres lose pressure at around 100klm, the explorer proved to remain stable…

I agree Joe Walsh, I wouldn’t touch one of these hippie CUV’s either.
Would rather go for a Ford Expedition Long Wheelbase – now that’s a real man’s SUV.
