Default Roof Collapse or Roof Crush

Ford Ranger Roof Collapse or Roof Crush



The roof supports were not designed to act as a roll bar, as the industry states that rollovers are not foreseeable events, and are not capable of being tested and reproduced in a controlled testing environment. If one examines the inside of such roof supports, one find them hollow, with made up of nothing but folded/ corrugated light gauge metal - not designed to withstand the force of a rollover, EVEN THOUGH FORD KNEW BY THEIR OWN TESTS THAT THESE RANGER PICKUPS HAD A HIGH PROPENSITY TO ROLL AND THAT THESE ROOF WILL COLLAPSE IN MANY ROLLOVERS
