Rear bumpers on this series is so high above grade that they are ineffective. A simple bumper tap from a normal sedan as in parallel parking, is sufficient to do thousands of dollars damage simply because of the raised bumper. My comment: Requiring bumper standards like "5 mph" is irrelevant if bumpers do not match. The Ford ex... series bumper height is a prime example of non-standard, unnecesarily burdensome, design change.
