Holy cow F150 crash all ok

[foghorn23]

Saw this post on the f150 site today. Testament to the safety built into vehicles today. Not sure this would have been the case a few years ago.

An unidentifiable mini-van

 

 

Can you say small offset crash test?

 

Everything seemed to stop at the firewall

 

 

 

 

The brake rotor is embeded in the bottom of the cab.

 

 

Glad everybody got to go home. Good Lord looking out for them.

Well built running boards. Stopped the front brake rotor from hitting the rear end.

Ford has a heavy tube structure right there that's supposed to kick the wheel out from the cab should it rip free. I'm guessing that was what stopped it.

It definitely fared better than my truck would have.

[NEFisher11]

Wow that is impressive.

those f150s are tough. glad they were all ok

I would hope so being ten years newer at a time when 5 star crash ratings have become heavily stressed as of late. Back in 2006 not many looked at crash ratings when buying a truck and technically we might as well say 2003 since that is when that design took effect.

That's amazing that the cab seems completely intact and unharmed. The brake rotor stuck in the cab is scary, makes you think what that would do if it came through the glass.

I wouldn't say the minivan is COMPLETELY unidentifiable, looking at the remains of the hood, and I can see an unmistakable pair of Chrysler Wings; and judging by the shape of the driver's door and those wings, a 2008-2010 model (known in chrysler circles as the RT Platform.)

2003 was just a nose job. The original design was mid/late 90's with the GMT800 debut in 1999.

 

It's amazing the hits cars can take now.

Wow, Angels are all around us, and they protected everyone involved. God bless them

looks too dramatic.

 

lower and upper arms, frame still going a forward direction.

"small offset" is a good choice of words.

 

I noticed my dads 2016 gmc does not have 220 pound doors like my 96.. and the frame up front is a wholeother animal.

 

 

I would not brag about newer being better.

 

even my 87 tin can subaru could rip a wrx in half.

 

A lot of fails from the past, but certainly not all of them.

 

 

glad everyone bounced their head off an airbag and gets to see another day.

If you think there is anything superior to the crash performance of an older vehicle to a new one, you're out of your mind.

 

Heavier parts doesn't mean better.
