This is nothing compared to the 2015 F-150 Supercrew vs 2015 F-150 Supercab small overlap crash test. Ford was caught plain as day in a major cheating scandal with that one. Ford put deflection bars on the frame of the Supercrew version of the truck to prevent the wheels from intruding into the cab. Normally only one configuration of the full-size trucks were tested... the crew cab version. So Ford didn't spend the money to put those same bars on the Supercab version of the frame and the truck performed terribly. But consumers would have never known that if they assumed the Supercab truck was the same as the Supercrew version and at no time did Ford bother to mention that only the Supercrew had the bars... that is until everyone saw the collapsed Supercab.

Well, it should come as a surprise to nobody that pickup trucks have no safety standards. You are nitpicking because both results were unacceptable and the only way this can change is if trucks are held to the same standards as cars. If you can't sell Chinese cars in the US because they have zero star crash test ratings, you shouldn't be selling pickup trucks that perform that poorly either.

As a professional in the collision repair industry. I often see structural components on the driver side that are not on the passenger side. This happens with many manufacturers. Parts both welded and bolted onto the driver's side in various locations that aren't on the passenger side.

No, they know that practically all small overlap crashes occur on the drivers side, so they focused on crash performance on that side. This is common among most if not all brands. Even the passenger side wasn't that bad. Particularly compared to the time Ford was caught blatantly cheating when they put frame reinforcements on the 2015 F-150 Supercrew but not the Supercab because up until then only one configuration was crash tested... the crew cab variant.

But, most of all, I think they'd have to point out what a joke driver licensing has become in the US. Unless you have taken the time to properly educate yourself, you don't actually know how to drive a motor vehicle. Passing the test proves nothing because it is a complete joke. What you have to know to get a drivers license in the US wouldn't even get you a learner's permit in Germany. I learned to drive in the UK where it isn't quite as stringent but still makes driver licensing in the US look like a complete joke.

I'm glad I drive a Jetta. You won't get seam welded construction or high tensile steel in a F-150. Suckers buy them thinking they're safer. Put a pickup truck against a Volvo, VW or even a Toyota sedan and the truck is gonna lose. Anyone who actually knows anything about pickup trucks will only drive one if it is absolutely necessary. They're not fun to drive. They're deathtraps and they get awful mileage. Just objectively awful vehicles unless you need to haul or tow something, where having proper crumple zones probably won't help you much anyway because of the added weight or the fact a 20' boat is gonna come flying through the back window. If my Jetta were built like a pickup truck, it would weigh about 2200 lbs and be a complete deathtrap, just like they were in the first couple of generations. If you are just driving a pickup truck for basic transportation, well, that explains why they're always crooked in the parking space - because most of the people driving pickup trucks have zero idea how to handle them. Meanwhile, I used to drive an old F150 to work sometimes when I needed to move a bunch of tools and I can back into a parking spot without being able to see out the back and get it perfectly straight without hitting anything. Most people couldn't get it squarely between the lines headfirst if they had an aircraft carrier LSO guiding them into position. Still have yet to see anyone park a Cybertruck straight and that has a million cameras that help you park. Goes to show, all the information in the world is useless if you don't know how to use it. Using a pickup to drop the kids off at school is not only a bad parenting choice, it makes about as much sense as buying a Kitchen Aid stand mixer when you never cook. Another stupid thing people do with pickup trucks is tow loads that really should be pulled by a Semi just so they can avoid taking the CDL test. Well, if you're towing 12 cars behind a pickup truck, that is exceptionally dangerous, even with the largest pickup trucks. But people do it. And it is a danger to us all. Best of all, they'll speed down the interstate so they can cause maximum carnage when they wreck. Also, all of these caveats apply to SUVs too. In fact, SUVs are sometimes taller than pickups, with a shorter wheelbase, making them less stable and more prone to rollover.

GM generally perform poorly in crash tests. I don’t think they currently have any top performers. I wonder if they just don’t care about safety.

@@Wasabi9111 I've noticed GM to have a "mixed bag" crash test history, even as far back as the 1970s in NHTSA crash tests. The 1980 Cadillac Seville and 1982 Chevy Celebrity were the best performing vehicles in crash tests for their respective years. Moving up to the 90's, the 1995 Chevy Lumina was one of the few vehicles to do well in the IIHS crash test, and even outperformed the Volvo 850 (which, to be fair, was a design that was 3 years older), and large Buicks and Cadillacs from the 1990s and 2000s did very well too. And in recent years, the 2014 Chevy Equinox was one of the first small SUVs to do well in the small overlap. However, GM small trucks, small SUVs, and vans almost invariably did badly in crash testing from the 1980s all the way to the early 2000s, with the 1997-2005 minivans being a particularly infamous example. The 1988 Chevy van was the worst-performing post-1985 vehicle ever tested by NHTSA, and GM continued to make designs that performed badly in the original moderate overlap well into the mid-2000s such as the Chevy Cavalier, Chevy Astro, and Chevy Silverado. And even recently, they've had some vehicles do rather poorly like this Silverado and the Cadillac XT5. January 18, 2024 2:22 am

Plus, there's always going to be a driver, whereas there's not always a passenger. Most journeys are taken with a single occupant in the vehicle, which is part of the reason why travel by car is so inefficient and why transport agencies are always pushing for more people to take the bus or a train. I think I read one statistic that said that out of all fatal crashes, offset impacts account for less than 30% and of that just under 5% were front passenger fatalities. So yes, it's an issue, but a much smaller one compared to driver-side fatalities.

Typical GM, bare minimum compliance

They didn't cheat. No company is going to make sure every aspect is covered in a crash. They are only going to concentrate on the test itself. If a test covers the left side, they aren't going to spend much time on the right. It's not till the test itself covers the right side that they have to pass the test. If you take a test on how to sharpen a pencil, your not going to study on how to use the eraser until they add that to the test.

That's why I noticed I become blinded in the mornings but mostly gm trucks

Well-researched? Not really. They don't bother to mention that there was a reason for the side-to-side discrepancy. Practically all small-overlap collisions happen on the driver side. They make the passenger side collision sound like it was a failure when it was completely survivable and actually performed better than the 2015 F-150 Supercab small overlap on the driver's side. Watch that one (silver 2015 F-150 Supercab small overlap crash test) if you want to see a bad test outcome.

I find it funny that this truck didn't perform well however if you did the same tests on a truck that is 20 years old it would be horrific. Yet people still drive in their 20+ year old cars.

Absolutely nothing wrong with LED lights and they are vastly superior in basically every way from old halogen headlights. The problem is that manufacturers aim them poorly, usually just below the eye line of other road users. That means that even the slightest incline or increased suspension load in the rear of the vehicle results in blinding oncoming traffic. This is often a result of trying to improve the nighttime performance of their driver assistance features, especially those that use primarily camera based system. Toyota and Subaru are the worst offenders.
