Accident

My wife and i own a 2007 ford explorer sport trac, on the afternoon of oct 7 2010 my wife and her friend were in an accident with a forigen make suv. there were no severe injuries, only minor bumps and bruises. i fully credit the construction of the sport trac and the full box frame that took the full impact of the crash. the other vehicle ran a stop light and hit my wife at about fourty mph. the majority of the impact was on the right front corner of the sport trac. it pushed the front end about three inches to the left, doing only damage to the outer panels of the vehicle. i am very impressed with this vehicle and my next truck will be a F series super duty. thank you ford mo. co. for sending my wife home safely.

Good afternoon, I'm a recent purchaser of a 2013 Explorer and really like the Rear View Camera feature while backing up. It gives a very clear view of what's behind you and will help prevent backing into things. That's great while your backing up, but what about moving forward? A lot of accidents occur from drivers not being able to properly judge the distance the vehicle is from the object in front of them. It may just be parking in front of another vehicle, a support pillar or wall, or even in their own garage. The front view camera would come on when the vehicle is moving forward and an object is within a few feet in front of the vehicle with the same warnings as the rear view camera has. I believe this is a safety feature that can assist in preventing accidents and help maintain insurance premiums nation wide. Thank you for your time!!
