2016 Structural Integrity of RC & Super Cab
Anyone know if the Regular Cab and Super Cab have been reinforced in the 2016 model to compare with the Super Crew? The IIHS discovered that the 2015 Super Crew had extra reinforcement that allowed it to obtain a 5 Star rating in their tests, specifically the demanding frontal overlap test. The Regular Cab and Super Cab were discovered not to have this reinforcement and the cabins were compromised in the IIHS test. Ford responded that they would be adding the reinforcement to the 2016 model year. Did this occur?

I would not be surprised if they start calling back the supercabs and having the crash bar installed. It's a rather simple piece right off the front frame rail.
FWiW, there are two offset frontal overlap, the reg and supercab only suffered on the minor overlap(the smallest) test. The other overlap did the same rating.
I agree it's an over sight and should be looked into but it's a pretty specific test made even more specific by cutting way off to just in front of the tire.

Dont they crash into a stationary object? you would think a head-on slight clip collision would spin both cars. Maybe Im not thinking correctly, maybe they conduct it as a stationary object collision at 80 is like a head-on at 40?

any idea how hard it would be to do this? Is there a part #?
