that's almost as bad as the 2001 f150 crash test.

the CREW CAB gets a better rating because of the reinforced steel in the frame in the front.......but WTF about the bed caving in??

Looks like the entire cab was pushed back into the bed

That puts a serious damper on my enthusiasm for ordering a 2016 Supercab. I know they've said they will make the change "in the 2016 model year." It seems nearly impossible to confirm whether the change will be in the first batches or not. I would rather not wait until November to order.

Looks like the grill did OK again departing from the truck

I've never put much thought into these tests. It's never affected my decision to buy a particular vehicle. (Not talking Suzuki Samurai here) That being said it's nice to know if it gets a great rating but I won't lose sleep if it doesn't.

What about everyone that are removing those crash bars from there SCREW Cab trucks so they can put on larger tires. That will change the crash rating of the SCREW to that of a SCAB.

So if they get in a accident and the passenger gets hurt one could argue that they may have been protected if those bars were still there.
