People think bigger means safer.

I like the wheels on the battering ram t-boner rig. I know my 98 F-150 is poor in these tests, so I tend to drive more sanely.

My F 150 saved my life I am eternally grateful after rolling over fourtimes at70 mph coming to rest in the center median I walked away without a scratch thanks to my seatbelt and my F150.. I wish I could personally thank the engineers at Ford… an awesome truck .. get one !

That could’ve happened to me because one day we were going to somewhere and this so damn car was going really fast it was gonna be a side impact but in the car almost hit us but we were able to see it and we did not hit the car but we almost did

In the updated moderate overlap, do you think that “submarining” exacerbated the injury risk for the rear passenger’s neck and chest due to excessive shoulder belt movement?

@@Starky513 - The 4.6L were tanks, especially the ones in the Crown Vics. The 3V 5.4 weren't really as good as thats when the cam phaser, lifter, and cam issues started. Early 5.0s had the cylinder deformation which Ford addressed on the 2nd Gen coyote in the F-150. I think now the 5.0 is the most reliable choice. I've heard too many horror stories with the 3.5 Ecoboost, and its too early to get an idea on the latest F150

Can you review the Chrysler Pacifica and ram 1500

Hello, the Ram 1500 is on my list for early 2024!

Why didn't you include some clips from the 2015 F-150 Supercab test? People should know what kind of deathtrap the IIHS determined it to be. It's a good warning to all the guys that cut those deflection bars off the frame so they can fit oversized tires too. If you buy a used 2015+ F-150, make sure the last guy didn't cut those bars off or you are driving a rolling deathtrap.

The Ford F-150 will be refreshed for 2024 which will hopefully improve these ratings

Indeed, it is being refreshed, but I haven’t seen any changes that suggest an improvement in these crash tests. We’ll likely have to wait until the full redesign in a couple of years.

@@crashcore_cc According to Ford representatives: “IIHS recently changed their moderate front overlap test procedure for the second row. We are always working to continuously improve and we consider IIHS and other third-party feedback in vehicle development”.

Do you think the Ford Expedition or Chevrolet Tahoe would do better in the updated moderate overlap?

@crashcore_cc

If we assume that these SUVs will perform similarly to their full size pickup brothers (F-150 and Silverado), then they would likely both get a poor rating.

Let’s say the Ford Expedition performs similarly to other Ford SUVs rather than the F-150, what are the chances of that happening?

@crashcore_cc

Comparing it to other SUVs, the Explorer does much better than the Traverse. However, the Expedition and Tahoe don’t have much in common with these unibody SUVs and share more with their pickup siblings. There are so many variables in a crash test, that it’s hard to predict until the test is completed.

Keep in mind that this crash test game is a game where they are constantly moving the goal posts. Overall, most of these trucks are quite good in general. These guys bread and butter is tested vehicles having a high failure rate so they can crow about how bad vehicles are at protecting occupants. So when vehicles get better, they come up with a revised test so they can fail every one again. So we keep having apples and oranges results here. Another result is as they keep hardening these vehicles for the next level crash test, they get heavier and more expensive. These trucks now commonly weigh more than 7,000 pounds, even a significant number are over 8,000 pounds. That does not bode well for impacts with smaller more light weight vehicles, let alone just pedestrians who happen to become impact victims.

1:30 is a broken leg right there! (Kidding but I mean look at that movement!)

The worst pickup truck crash test is still better than every compact car though, so while it's disappointing, it isn't a dealbreaker.

While this is true in multi-vehicle collisions, in single-vehicle collisions (such as hitting a pole) heavier vehicles experience greater crash forces.
