And how safe is an F150?

Not very!

[nb_351]

wonder what it was that decided to stop giving way in the f150? maybe the box? lol
its like its cardboard... even the front wheel assy, all collapses like nothing else...

I didn't think an f-truck would crumble like that

[mik]

the box looks like it misses the chassis rail completley and the whole impact is taken on the bumper and wheel and the cabin, the cab would have survived better had the door lock not popped, (note to self dont hit unmovable sqaure metal block with f100 lhs front) .

Have another look at the video again (the truck), at first glance it appears worse than it really is

for the most part, the truck crumples underneath the cell (the area the driver is in) and most of the impact passes beneath the driver where it is absorbed by the crumple zones below and behind the driver.

Still crumpled more than i would have expected but you would have a chance of surviving that crash with that current setup (albeit with no legs perhaps). The main objective is to keep the cell intact and for the most part it has achieved that. I wonder if it would have been any different with the bull-bar setup etc

I also wonder how fast they were going in that test? At a fast enough speed, any car is susceptible to that kind of damage, even the old "tanks" known as the VK's lol (as posted before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caOqD54oxRA)

just a few devil's advocate thoughts

SO MANY TIMES I wish what happened to that Mustang happened to idiots who drive by me. I would honestly get out and laugh so hard at them. Or p*ss on them. Depends what they are driving.
