((America's wheels have again been tested..

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the Sport Trac
Four-by-Two and its twin the Mercury Mountaineer are the worst on the
road with nearly a 35 percent chance of rolling over in single car crash.
Ford's smaller SUV--the Escape 4 by 2 had nearly a 24 percent chance of

26 percent of the time.

its a good intdicator of how a vehicle performs in the real world."
(FROM NHTSA VIDEO)
TOP OF THE CLASS....the Chrysler Pacifica four by four was viewed as
the safest SUV with only a 13 percent chance of rolling over in single
vehicle crash.
Of the trucks---Toyota's Tacoma 4 by 4 extended cab was the
worst....with a 28 percent chance of rolling over.
