Relax there, Sparky. My comment on the cab/front was poorly worded. I should have said the passenger compartment, as that is what I was mostly focused on.

Given the severity of damage to the rear, it is nice to see that the "passenger compartment" looks relatively free from damage... How's that. Free from whatever Kool Aid you are talking about?

it does look odd, but if it was parked and got pushed 100 feet.....
35mp i think is bs....
but the passenger area is the life module and the rest of the truck is to absorb the energy..which at a flat hit square in the rear it seems to have held up well. broken or shattered rear window is better than large pieces piercing your skull, safety glass may scare the pee out of you...but it wont cut you up into bleeding parts.


we got side swiped last feb and the crumple stuff did its job...PROTECTED my wife from damage or injury

it should have crumple zones, not bend like a wishbone

The structure sacrificed itself by absorbing the energy while protecting the passanger compartment. That's exactly what it should do. Truck is more than likely a total.

The truck crumbled exactly the way it was designed to do. If it didn't crumble the passengers would have had much more of the energy directed to them

I have a 2015 on order and I have to say for a layperson like me the big bad full size truck looks like it was destroyed. I understand all the crumple zone and other safety related arguments made, but when full size truck is in an accident with a smaller vehicle, doesn't the smaller vehicle become the crumple zone?

Not impressed by this and again I have one on order so I am no hater.

As they say energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed. Broken frame or broken bones, take your pick.
