Car Crash Test Compilation - Pickup Trucks - Ford F150, Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Tundra

Car Crash Test Compilation Pickup Trucks

Four large pickups offer strong protection in side crashes but fall short when it comes to protecting passengers in the back seat.

The Ram 1500 crew cab, Ford F-150 crew cab and Toyota Tundra crew cab earn good ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s updated side crash test, while the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab is rated acceptable.

However, in the updated moderate overlap front crash test, which now emphasizes back seat safety, only the Tundra manages a marginal rating. The F-150, Ram 1500 and Silverado are rated poor.

These results are valid only for models sold in the USA

While the IIHS has, without a doubt, improved safety for all vehicles---there's always a "new" test that no one can pass.

I’m also going to add that I know truck drivers who say they won’t hop in a car because it’s a small death trap, but then they hop on a motorcycle with absolutely no protection and even a small rock in the road can cause an accident and kill them. So the argument that they can’t drive a small car because they aren’t safe is immediately invalidated in my eyes.

It's amazing how fast safety ratings change. A vehicle that rated as good in 2015 would most likely receive all poor ratings in 2023.

Ram def looked to be the most sturdy truck overall in both tests, especially the first test.

Listen I’ve been to Ibiza and this soundtrack is killing it

Too bad accidents aren't in a controlled environment and conditions. The seat belt on the child dummy was incorrectly placed on all three US built trucks. Makes me want to believe that Consumer's Report has a hand in the IIHS since CR never saw an American made car they found acceptable. I still prefer ANY US made pickup including my current F150

I find it interesting that anytime a truck has poor results owners of said vehicle claim bias or bad testing ect. Crash test, reliability, capability ect. When in reality they are only showing “ their” bias.

Guys you didn’t show the RAM tailgating and aiming at animals in the road.

[makeshiftlake]

Very interesting. I have a 2023 Silverado and it’s crazy just how much the bed shifts around in the side hit compared to the other trucks

[squangan]

I would happily drive any of these pickups feeling perfectly safe and protected while doing so. They absorb the impacts amazingly without deformity to the inside of the cabs. I don’t know what the IIHS expects, maybe for occupants to be instantly and magically teleported out of vehicles that are involved in serious collisions so the occupants aren’t even present?

Its the whiplash alone thats go injure or kill you 🤦🏽‍♂️

[carterbishop]

rear seat belt in the RAM was clearly not placed correctly on the dummy's waist. It was riding too high before the accident. That is no fault of the automotive maker.

[ahndajong]

These are good tests. I'd like to see the outcome of them at real world, "highway speeds"; 75-80 mph.

[Forestdawg]

I don’t understand how they calculate these tests. The ram looked to do much better than the tundra yet got a lower rating. The tundra got a marginal score yet the rear passenger was all over the place.

[brent]

Get ready for padded 6” wide seat belts on your next new car.

[MarkShireman]

These are all far safer than the “safe” Honda Civic. Big mass wins every time.

[mav]

Idk if I trust that seat belt thing they highlight, I think that’s more a dummy issue

[wilecatrexy]

They're all a lot better than they used to be.

[evictioncarpentry]

Look at the Cab and the Bed on the chevy side impact....wow!

[sdrape]

Yeah it's nice to see the IIHS constantly crap on the automakers for building "unsafe" vehicles, but I have yet to see them provide the crash ratings for their barrier vehicles that I am pretty confident do not remotely meet any governmental standards of safety requirements.

I mean, I've been a lot of places and driven a lot of miles, and not once have I seen a rogue IIHS barrier vehicle lurking on the roads.
