I don't get all the roll overs, whats with drivers anyway. I've been driving a truck for years, literally. Knock on wood, never an accident. People just not paying attention and going too fast?? A lot of stupid drivers out there I think.

I owned a 02 Sport Trac 2wheel drive prior to the 4 wheel drive. In my opinion the 4WD is much more tippy than the 2WD ever was. I honestly havent seen the report but how would a 2WD rollover more than a 4WD ? The 4WD has a higher center of gravity :confused: They both have same wheelbase too

Actually I would think the 4wd would have a lower center of gravity, as all the 4wd equipment is under the truck. (front axles transfer case etc..)

But regardless, maybe they only had a 2wd model to test???
