IIRC, the Explorer is based on the F-150, and therefore should have horrible crash test results prior to the 2005 model year (when they redesigned the F-150, possibly the Explorer too).
The F-150's were redesigned for the 2004 model year.

Manufacturers releasing their model year cars so early into the previous year always messes me up, so I don't remember all the exact years. Still, it was a relative death trap prior to that.
