Ford Explorer Crash Test FAIL

  • The 2018-2021 Ford Explorer rates poor because its structure was seriously compromised. Intrusion reached 15 inches at the lower door hinge pillar and 13 inches at the upper door hinge pillar and the dashboard. The door sill was pushed in 6 inches toward the dummy. Measures taken from the dummy showed a high likelihood of injuries to the right hip in a real-world crash of the same severity, as well as a possibility of left lower leg injuries.
    The Explorer also had poor structural performance in the driver-side test and earns an overall rating of marginal for driver-side small overlap protection. Ford is redesigning the Explorer and says the new model will have improved small overlap protection on both sides. Join us to enjoy exclusive benefits:

      Agreed. Especially when the early F150 didn’t do as well and Ford quickly updated the truck to do better. I think it was the extended cab F150 that didn’t do well and the Crew F150 did...and then then extended cab F150 was updated.

      I was wondering this too yet this explorer design has been out for a while now. I drove one and i didnt like it at all and noticed you feel like you sit low and everything was cramped for such a large vehicle. I thought it must have to do with safety and crash ratings. Completely wrong. Just a very poor design. I have an f150 and like it a lot. But this is not a worthy product to sell to anyone especislly promoting it in commercials to families.

The test requirement has changed and now and can be run on the passenger side so they have stopped doing that. Ford explorer does not come in right hand drive.

Ford no longer owns them so Ford doesn’t have access to the SPA platform as Volvo is owned by Geely.

      Boo Ya so how do engineers justify plastic intake manifolds that warp. Ive seen Chrysler do this where they offer a 2.4 liter on a pt cruiser one with aluminium cast and the other intake plastic. Pretty obvious the one with aluminium has no service as where the one with plastic requires in most cases a complete replacement. Check this out most new 5.7 hemis offer a plastic oil pan. Most engineers often point the finger at the government to meet standards. This vid. Is about safety but at the same time this an opportunity to get cheap and put plastic in many areas that is not necessarily needed. As most techs always have a long list where and why they use plastic on soo many places that do not belong. Valve covers, timing guides, transmission pans, radiators, plumbing, turbo charger components. All these fail simply because of the material. Whats the strategy in that?? More costly repairs and make people buy cars ever3yrs???

    • @booya6437
      @booya6437 6 років тому

      Gearz The conversation was about the exterior of the car in which plastic is better in some situations. But yes, plastic on components that experience higher levels of thermal expansion and contraction makes no sense to me either. In those cases, plastic is definitely being used to cut corners and save cost. No engineer will tell you that plastic engine pieces such as intake manifolds are a good thing but they use them to save money. It’s not that we like using plastic, we just have no choice sometimes.

    • @forgedsteelwrench9249
      @forgedsteelwrench9249 6 років тому

      Boo Ya yes like youve mentioned in your first response that plastic does serve its purpose towards safety since it absorbs energy of the force. This vid is just about that and i realize there are benefits when used correctly. Ive been to many seminars in which they have a member of a team of engineers and not just me but many who wrench have actually asked them to their face why certain plastic components are found internally or externally on engine and you either get 2 common answers 1) we do not have an answer for that question 2) we had to meet standards set by either the govt or company. Really they do not have to answer any questions that make them look bad or uncomfortable. I cannot fully put the blame on many who design and engineer our vehicles because i do know they are given a task (the ones who watch the companies expenses) to create something with restrictions on cost and materials used.

    O Ford Explorer 2018 classifica como ruim porque sua estrutura foi seriamente comprometida. A intrusão atingiu 15 polegadas no pilar da dobradiça da porta inferior e 13 polegadas no pilar da dobradiça da porta superior e no tablier. O peitoril da porta foi empurrado em 6 polegadas para o manequim. As medidas tomadas a partir do manequim mostraram uma alta probabilidade de lesões no quadril direito em um acidente do mundo real da mesma gravidade, bem como a possibilidade de lesões na perna esquerda. O Explorer também teve desempenho estrutural ruim no teste do lado do motorista e obteve uma classificação geral de marginal para a proteção de pequena sobreposição do lado do motorista. A Ford está redesenhando o Explorer e diz que o novo modelo terá uma pequena proteção de sobreposição nos dois lados.

Believe it when Ford is always trying new crap materials for their nxt gen. Example F150 (BudLight can version) all the respect for a truck went out the window. That has everything todo with American engineering doing things the wrong way. I respect aluminium being used on sports cars but a truck??!!! Well its no wonder Toyota us untouchable.

    The issue here is the small overlap test was implemented by the IIHS less than ten years ago. Before that it was the offset or moderate overlap as it’s called now. Car crashes haven’t changed even though cars have. Why didn’t the IIHS do this test 20 or 30 years ago? It wouldn’t have taken any more technology to do this test back then. Cars are a lot safer now than they were 20 years ago, but the best safety feature is still the driver.

    Seriously people here can’t see the big picture. The current Explorer is engineered and introduced 2011 as a 5th generation. The second oldest cars of the group Toyota Highlander and Nissan Pathfinder are introduced in 2013. The drivers side small overlap test was introduced in 2012 after the 5th gen Explorer came out. Although it’s disappointing Ford didn’t improve the Explorer, we should expect 6th gen Explorer on it’s way for 2019 to be a IIHS top safety pick plus. Also people commenting saying made in USA, do you realize that all SUV’s featured for crash are manufactured in the United States? Sorento, highlander, Explorer, Acadia, pathfinder, atlas, Pilot, grand Cherokee all are made in the USA. Oh btw, GMC Acadia earned good rating so pls just stop saying American makes are trash. All cars have pros and cons. Explorer is No.1 in its segment despite it being the oldest. So doing poor in crash test doesn’t support the car is junk.
