- Pickup Truck Crash Test Compilation - Nissan Frontier, Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, Jeep Gladiator and Toyota Tacoma
Most small pickups fall short when it comes to protecting passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.
“Our updated moderate overlap front crash test proved to be challenging for small pickups,” said IIHS President David Harkey. “A common problem was that the rear passenger dummy's head came dangerously close to the front seatback, and in many cases, dummy measurements indicated a risk of neck or chest injuries. All these things tell us that the rear seat belts need improvement.”
None of the five small crew cab pickups IIHS tested earns a good rating. The Nissan Frontier is rated acceptable. The Ford Ranger earns a marginal rating, and the Chevrolet Colorado, Jeep Gladiator and Toyota Tacoma are all rated poor. The ratings only apply to the crew cab versions.
IIHS launched the updated moderate overlap front test last year after research showed that in newer vehicles the risk of a fatal injury is now higher for belted occupants in the rear than for those in front. This is not because the rear seat has become less safe. Rather, the front seat has become safer because of improved airbags and advanced seat belts that are rarely available in back. Even with these developments, the back seat remains the safest place for young children, who can be injured by an inflating front airbag.
To encourage manufacturers to improve rear-seat protection, the updated test adds a dummy in the back seat behind the driver. The driver dummy is the size of an average adult man. The rear dummy is the size of a small woman or 12- year-old child. IIHS researchers also developed new metrics that focus on the injuries most frequently seen in back- seat passengers.
For a vehicle to earn a good rating, there can’t be an excessive risk of injury to the head, neck, chest or thigh, as recorded by the second-row dummy. The dummy should remain correctly positioned during the crash without sliding forward beneath the lap belt (or “submarining”). The head should also remain a safe distance from the front seatback and the rest of the vehicle interior. A pressure sensor on the rear dummy’s torso is used to check whether the shoulder belt is too high, which can make the restraint system less effective.
As in the original test, the structure of the occupant compartment must maintain adequate survival space for the driver, and measurements taken from the driver dummy shouldn’t show an excessive risk of injuries.
All five small pickups provided good protection in the front seat. However, measurements indicated a slightly higher risk of leg or foot injuries to the driver in the Gladiator and Tacoma.
In the Colorado, Frontier, Ranger and Tacoma, the restraints in the back seat allowed the rear dummy’s head to come too close to the front seatback. That was not an issue for the Gladiator. However, its rear restraints do not include a side curtain airbag, increasing the risk of injury from a hard impact with the interior of the vehicle or even something outside it.
In the Ranger, the rear dummy submarined beneath the lap belt, causing it to ride up from the ideal position on the pelvis onto the abdomen, which increases the risk of internal injuries.
Otherwise, injury measures taken from the rear dummy indicated a moderate or likely risk of both neck and chest injuries in the poor-rated Colorado, Gladiator and Tacoma and a moderate risk of chest injuries in the marginal-rated Ranger.
These results are valid only for models sold in the USA

Seemed like the Nissan Frontier passengers would walk away with spine and neck injuries, but that’s acceptable I guess!
Funny eh. Not sure how this algorithm works but sure seems fishy. Jeep held up better minus the passenger airbag
@@betweenthepines4000 in case you dont know, to a certain point more crumple = better because the energy of the crash gets dispersed more before hitting the people inside. Jeep held up the worst here.
Money talks, bullshit walks.
Nissan frontier is actually the safest truck you can buy. It’s safer than Ford Toyota and others.😮😮😮😮
I want to see what a full front end crash with the barrier would look like
Kinda puzzles me how the frontier got a acceptable.. but ok
Like to see better seat belt restraint system on all seats front and back
Too much head movement
You want the upper torso to move forward some. If you catch and hold the upper torso rigidly then the only thing that will accelerate forward is the head and that causes basilar skull fractures which is basically when the head is thrown forward so violently that the skull rips your spine at the base of your neck loose from the rest of the body. You want the upper body to move forward with the head to help minimize the risk of this happening.
Good ol' Jeep; never change.
But the Wagoneer has changed they stopped its poor
Shocked the Jeep didn’t flip. Not shocked that it scored poorly. I’d take the Taco and the Ranger when it comes to mid size trucks with the Colorado being a close third.
Is this really "midsize"? Looks enormous!
@@mathiastwp ok European
Tacoma rated poor lol
Why not the frontier it did rather well in the crash test
It’s rated good bie
NİSSAN FRONTIER;rear passenger hits her head against the rear window!!!!!!!
His
This may sound stupid, but I was wondering… are the engines on or off while it’s being pulled? Amazing videos btw👌🏼
Good Question
the engines are off
@@joedesalvo3316 Okay, thanks mate👍🏼
Fluids are drained.
They are off. All the fluids are drained before the test.
I’m not sure how the Gladiator, Taco, and Colorado got “poor” when the Frontier’s wreck looked a lot more violent (flying passengers) and the back passenger hit her head on the back glass.
Ranger for safety ❤
Wow
The Jeep gladiorator only had 1 airbag lol
My immediate thought was “Oww” ,”Oww”, “Oww”, “Oww” “Oww” ,”Oww”, “Oww”, “Oww”
0:16 0:50 windows 7 Vista sound
the nissan frontier unironically being the best one in terms of safety
The Nissan's seats performed poor and the whole front side exploded. In my view the worst of the lot.
@@synthwave7 Same here ! I don't know how the hell is that ever acceptable ? it was shit !
@@synthwave7the whole front side exploding means less energy being transferred to the passengers. That’s a good thing. How do you see that as a bad thing?
@@dawsongranger4940 i agree more crumple is good, but look at the back seat passenger bonking their head on the rear window. how do they determine what is poor and what is acceptible?
funny....worst truck best in a wreck.....
Shocking video and what is so shocking that after every crash there are still two objects left at the scene unlike when a steel I beam building swallowed a Jumbo Jet and brought it down into it's own footprint Shocking I tell you absolutely Shocking
Wai
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
🧱💥🛻
Vw Amarok and Nissan Navara are probably better
This is actually only USA Vehicles.
The VW pickup you said is rather for Europe, and not for USA.
@@TeimonKauppa739 You don't have Amarok in the US?
But Navara?
Literally every truck in this video is nothing but junk originally trucks were meant for working people, and farmers. They weren't everyday vehicles if you want four doors get a car or an SUV
So your telling me its now illegal to buy a truck to not use for work? If im spending 70k on a new F350 i sure as hell better get to decide what imma do with it..
