I've never heard of first generation Broncos being this unsafe: https://www.cheatsheet.com/automobiles/10-cars-that-were-just-too-dangerous-to-drive.html/9/
Yeah. It's something the Department of Transportation won't admit to: off-road vehicles in the hands of an untrained driver on a freeway is a rollover waiting to happen. It gave rise to this Ford commercial:
I never saw that long version before. That’s a good commercial. But, I guess the same could be said of any car. It’s not ok to lose control of any vehicle really. I’m surprised we got this far without an oj comment.
The Bronco IIs had a reputation for being unsafe. The older Broncos didn't even if the dimensions were the same.
I have to snicker at this line: Shortly after the report was released, it was replaced by the longer wheelbase Ford Explorer... Which, shortly thereafter went through it's own controversy with the Firestone tire/rollover debate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestone_and_Ford_tire_controversy Which was tested by Car and Driver...
