I am just letting the company that towed it scrap it since it happened over 400 miles away from home. I don't know what that is on the front, but I know it is not blood.

 

^ hey, at least we don't drive F150's.....


I love watching crash tests

 

wonder why they didnt use an excab ford? it seems it wouldve done better

 

Wow, glad to hear everyone is ok.

 

did anyone notice how much the frame bent on that ford? i say the tests shown there are unreal. how often do you hear about a truck smashing into a nother truck at 50mph. i don't think those people at the test place relise that most of the time those trucks are plowing into a cars.

 

did you watch the whole vid? it is at 40 mph simulating an offset headon where both vehicles are hit on the drivers front which is very real life and at that speed i dont think its gonna matter much if you hit a car or a truck which you have equal chances of anyways

as for the frame bending, i would like to see the other trucks in regular cabs do it also, or the ford be excab...and it looks more like the front of the cab got separated from the frame, not so much as it bending

 

Not very realistic unless your hitting a wall, if you ran into a car you would have more weight behind you causing more damage to the car than the truck

 

did you not notice how the impact area crushed? and if you meet another ram or fullsize truck.....its gonna be the same weight

 

Alright.. Here you go:

Now, this crash was at at least 50 miles per hour, into an SUV. I was in this crash, and got no more than a scratch. Neither did my girlfriend sitting next to me.

Look up at the cab above the windows. Notice that there's no bending. I'll post up more pictures if you like.
