SUV's Roll over

[fabsroman]

The good thing about technology is that the cars are coming with stuff to help prevent them from rolling over. Somehow, I think the Samurai would flip just as easily as the Explorer with all things being equal (e.g., the same manuevers, the same amount of weight/passengers in the vehicle). Ford has something in the Explorer now that allows it to sense a quick manuever and, i believe, adjust speed by braking. Volvo has the same concept with their SUV that came out a couple of years ago. Of course, Ford owns Volvo, so it probably borrowed the technology.

My feeling is that I am going to buy the Expedition or Excursion SUV and unless whatever blocking the road is bigger than me, I plan on plowing through it. These monster SUV's are better off going in a straight line than trying a high speed manuever.
