Hello all,

I'm just shocked on how the truck folded on the iihs crash test . I would still rather (in case of an accident) on my f150 than in any little car (like my commuter aveo)...

yea I was pretty surprised myself when I first heard about this. I thought I was buying a pretty safe truck, but after seeing that youtube video and the truck just crumpled up like, it turns out I was wrong. I guess it just goes to show that just because it looks safe doesnt mean it actually is.

the nhtsa rated it good though? And i've seen them crash and they seem to hold up very well. But oh well, just be carefull out there, in whatever you're driving.
