Thank You For Designing Such A Strong Vehicle Ford
NOV
21

Last week my 94 Explorer saved my life. I was on a road trip from Colorado Springs to visit a friend in Vegas. It was around midnight on november 9th, I was on I 70 just west of De Beque CO, and before the canyon. A deer popped out onto the middle of the highway, I swerved to miss it and after fishtailing 4 times, my Explorer rolled 6 or more times. After it stopped rolling it landed on the wheels and I climbed out the window, I walked away from that rollover without any injuries. While I was looking for my phone and glasses I was clipped by a van before it tboned my crippled explorer. After all of this my only injury is a broken ankle. I will always own fords after this, the explorer was my third ford and it saved my life. Thank You Ford Motor Company.

I am sorry but I haven't taken a good look at the new trucks but; If the windshield wiper controls are still on the Left side of the steering wheel. I find it easier on the Right side. Many more Right Handed folks are out there and to be able to use your stronger digits helps. I cannot use my Left arm above my waist and my wife's vehicle the controls are much easier to reach. My 99 Explorer is hard to use. Both vehicles with any switches on Left are rough for me.
