Yes I see LOL, ill look into it i haven't worked on the Ford in awhile I've been making other stuff in blender just trying to expand my skills i guess. I will update soon though.
My guess is that like the real Explorer it's based upon, rollovers will only occur due to inexperienced drivers reacting to faulty tires failing
Love it! Maybe you could make a 2000 Ford excursion limited 7.3l tdi powerstroke later on? Amazing car ;-) My dad actually slided of the road and into a field of ice, and he hit a speed sign (stuck in the front tire) so the car tipped... Ford ftw lol.
These things were only rollover prone because when they came out, Ford Motor Company decided to go with Firestone tires, the tires were radials, of course, but the steel bands in the tires would rub together excessively causing friction and a lot of excess heat, this would cause the tire blowout resulting in a rollover. People came to ford complaining that the ford explorers had a rollover problem and that their loved ones or friends were injured or killed in these accidents, Ford went into further investigation on the trucks, and concluded that there is no risk of a rollover under normal conditions. They then started investigating the tires and found that the Firestones that were supplied where faulty. There was a huge recall on the tires. Ford will never use Firestone tires again.
Evening all, I work at a large Ford dealership as a mechanic and confirm the faulty Firestone issues back in the day. Though I still see several people put Firestone Destination tires on their trucks and SUVs (Exploders included). But I'm sure Firestone has learned from their past mistakes. Ford, on the other hand, hasn't. The latest and greatest recall is a faulty nipple on the main fuel pump that likes to break very easily, causing fuel odor smells, fuel leaks, and on rare occasion vehicles catching fire when said fuel touches the exhaust. Sound familiar?
im really glad your putting this on here man, if and when i make a vehicle of some sort, ill put it on here!
