The rollover test was not "rigged". Troopers had a stupid high center of gravity and could flip from a simple avoidance. Jeep had the same problem.

CR changed how fake off road vehicles were made, you're welcome.

It was absolutely rigged. You could pass or fail it depending on how you drove. I agree they were high center of gravity and didn't handle well. So were many other vehicles they passed.

I don't agree with a test that is dependent on the driver. They could have easily failed the Ford Explorer if they had driven it like the Trooper.

It's a shady organization.
