RE: when rammed from Behind, Ram does poorly
you guys cursed me [sm=boosign.gif] I got rammed from behind by a chick in a little S-10 on the way home from work friday night...the really funny part of it is that she was only going about 10 mph and I was stopped...I hadmy receiver in and it smashed through her grill, radiator, and radiator support and stopped her before she got to my bumper. [sm=badbadbad.gif]
I was still pretty pissed off....I was like GD it! its bright F#$%ing yellow!! oh well I also got to pull off of her little truck and break her grill even more....while anti-freeze was pouring everywhere...hahaha
note to self: leave receiver in hitch at all times

Thought I'd revive this post since it is a hot topic in our household right now. We are shopping for a new truck, and narrowed it down between the new GMC and Ram Quad. I like the looks of the GMC over the Chevy, and the Mega Cab is just too darn big for me as a daily driver. Anyway, both my wife and I were surprised (actually, more like appalled) at the blatant lack of rear-center head restraints. Or for that matter, the lack of a head restraint and a shoulder belt in front center positions. I mean this isn't rocket science! When I see something like that, it really stands out as a blatant dis-regard for customer safety in exchange for a stupid cost-cutting measure. I'm really dissappointed with GM, because this is a completely new model. At least Dodge remedied this in the MC (well, at least for the back seat). I mean they can invent MDS, but they can't stick on a rear-center head restraint? We have 3 children, so seating all 3 across the back with equal safety measures is of utmost importance to us.

I was just hit from behind last Tuesday. At about 5 mph, my bumper has too small dings and scuffed chrome. The Offending Toyota Tacoma does not look so good. I just ordered a new bumper, as with 4400 miles on the truck, I want it still new. Now the problem is the non-english speaking other driver has not bothered to report his accident, which may allow him to get away with it and me pay. [:@]

Well, I've never been rammed from behind and I don't think I'd ever want to. Im not down with that funny stuff............
On a serious note, I agree that taking safety of everybody in the cab should be very important IE headrest and such.

I'm curious, how does it help with whiplash? All I can conclude is that the seats that don't do as well, have weaker adjustable mounts for the headrest. Do they bend back on impact due to the weight of the head?
