Initially, no. After they had been blowing up, yes. The question at hand is did Chevrolet know that the trucks would explode during pre-production testing...

Like I said before, any moron could look at the tank location on those trucks and see a problem. So if they didn't know, Then there is an even bigger problem at GM.

This is like the thread that never ends. I don't know how Dave came up with such an interesting topic about the Found On Road Dead company?

I have a very personal experience with the Bronco II rolling over. I'm not 100% on how it happened cause I was a passanger and sleeping to knockedout, but from what I was told. My friend said he hit the rumble strip on the side of the interstated which made the bronco ii loose control and ended up flipping 4 times side over side and end over end, ripped the back off the truck and through me out of the truck. I guess I really don't have to give my opinion on this subject.

Uh, yea, what he said..

I was eating my quad stacker driving down 460 and hit the rumble strips like 3 times cause that shit was so fucking good and I managed not to flip over and die.. And I was on Firestone tires..

I must have a factory freak of a F-150..

I was there. I shit my pants at least six times cause I was waiting for us to die. There was even three people standing in the middle of the road that didn't die when we drove past them. And to top it all off, he managed to make it around at least four 90 degree turns without doing one barrell roll.
