rperez817 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/ford-explorer-earns-top-safety-pick--thanks-to-improved-crash-protection "The 2020 Ford Explorer, a midsize SUV, earns a TOP SAFETY PICK+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, thanks to improved performance in the driver-side small overlap front crash test. Crashworthiness ratings for the Explorer also apply to the all-new 2020 Lincoln Aviator, which earns a TOP SAFETY PICK award. Earlier, the two vehicles failed to earn a safety award when they fell short of a good rating in the Institute’s driver-side small overlap test. In that test, intrusion into the footwell elevated the risk of injury to the driver’s left leg. Ford modified the left and right front subframe in vehicles built after May 2020, and the Explorer performed better in a new evaluation."

jpd80 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 The trick is to ride that kudos for a couple of years, develop upgrades before testing to the new scoring system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Actually there are changes coming to the side impact test, they were pushed back because of the Rona. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
