CRASH TEST Ford F150 Supercrew and Supercab

- / @youcartv In the small overlap front test, each F-150 traveled at 40 mph toward a 5-foot-tall rigid barrier. Twenty-five percent of the pickup’s total width struck the barrier on the driver side, where a Hybrid III dummy representing an average-size man was positioned at the steering wheel. The test replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or a utility pole.
The two versions of the F-150 had markedly different outcomes.
“In a small overlap front crash like this, there’s no question you’d rather be driving the crew cab than the extended cab F-150,” Zuby says.
The crew cab’s occupant compartment remained intact. The front-end structure crumpled in a way that spared the occupant compartment significant intrusion and preserved survival space for the driver.
Measures recorded on the test dummy indicated low risk of injuries to the dummy’s head, chest, legs and feet. The front and side curtain airbags worked together to keep the dummy’s head from contacting injury-producing stiff interior structures or outside objects. The dummy’s head loaded the front airbag, which stayed in place until the dummy rebounded.
The extended cab is a different story. Intruding structure seriously compromised the driver’s survival space, resulting in a poor structural rating. The toepan, parking brake and brake pedal were pushed back 10-13 inches toward the dummy, and the dashboard was jammed against its lower legs. Measures recorded on the dummy indicated there would be a moderate risk of injuries to the right thigh, lower left leg and left foot in a real-world crash of this severity.
The steering column was pushed back nearly 8 inches and came dangerously close to the dummy’s chest. The dummy’s head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off to the left and hitting the instrument panel.
“Ford added structural elements to the crew cab’s front frame to earn a good small overlap rating and a TOP SAFETY PICK award but didn’t do the same for the extended cab,” Zuby observes. “That shortchanges buyers who might pick the extended cab thinking it offers the same protection in this type of crash as the crew cab. It doesn’t.”
The Institute has briefed Ford on the results. In a statement, the manufacturer said, “Ford is evaluating possible changes to the extended cab for small offset performance.”
The Institute assigned the crew cab and extended crew models good ratings for occupant protection in a moderate overlap front crash based on test data shared by Ford for both cab styles as part of the Institute’s front crash-test verification process. The F-150 qualifies for the program because the earlier-generation models were rated good in this test.
In the side impact test for both models, measures taken from both the driver dummy and the passenger dummy seated in the rear seat indicated low risk of significant injuries in a real-world crash like this one. The side curtain airbag deployed from the roof to protect the dummies’ heads from hitting any hard structures, including the intruding 3,300- pound SUV-like test barrier striking the driver side at 31 mph.
The crew cab’s roof withstood a force of nearly 6 times the pickup’s weight and the extended cab’s roof withstood a force of 5.3 times the pickup’s weight, an indication that the roofs will help protect occupants in rollover crashes.
The IIHS ratings apply to the 2015 SuperCrew F-150 and the SuperCab F-150 only. The Institute hasn’t evaluated the 2015 regular cab.

Apparently people need to learn high school physics again.
The car is supposed to sacrifice itself for the sake of the driver.
You succ
Facts
Looks like this pickup would sacrifice itself for even a parking lot lamppost! 🙊
John Doe But will it sacrifice its life for Pakistan?
It's basic knowledge, but they do not teach about cars sacrificing themselves in high school physics.
I realize the hate for the aluminum body, but you GM guys need to remember, this f150 has a better crash rating than any other 1500/2500 truck on the market right now.. Although the rest of the truck cumples, the cab remains perfect. Ive had to clean up a roll-over on a 2015. The cab was perfect, with no caving, Rest of the truck was destroyed. Its not about saving the vehicle, you can always replace that, but the important thing is the occupants are safe. This truck has tons of saftey features that you wouldnt understand if you watched this and thought "haha, lol at that ford. Crumpled right up, stupid aluminum".
Impact from steel KILLS! Alloy aluminum is Cutting Edge technology, The ONLY Truck to receive top I.I.H.S Award..5 Stars,
People are stuck on v8's and rust. Lol. I mean Dodge and chevy
Looking at them today, the safest trucks on the market and the Ram 1500, Honda Ridgeline, and the Toyota Tacoma. It's all about crumple zones' today.
what about the 2019 model?
nope
For those unfamiliar, typically crash tests would only be performed on one variant for models which offer more than one (highest selling, historically SuperCrew). The IIHS was tipped off that Ford made improvements with added steel bars in front of the front wheels to help with the new small overlap test that wasn't added in SuperCab or other cab variants.
The testing clearly shows this disparity with the results.Thankfully, Ford has stated that they will begin adding "countermeasures" to ensure that the SuperCab and other variants perform better (adding in these additional crash bars) for 2016 model year.
It's a shame that a manufacturer (especially one as big as Ford) has to be called out for "cheating" in order to do the right thing. It just goes to show you how far some companies will go to save a buck. It definitely shows the uglier side of capitalism. Another side benefit is that the IIHS is planning on testing multiple variants of pickup truck models from other brands (Chevy, Dodge, etc) to see if they find the same discrepancies.
+jctevere Most manufacturers do this. Things are so cost competitive now, with the technology people want, CAFE standards, and labor rate disparities. Most only put the reinforcements on one side. Although that might change as the are planning to do small overlap on the passenger side aswell. At least the frame show horns on the F150 are on both sides.
Seems some of the commenters should have been sitting in those trucks...
Pick up a physics book and learn about energy transfer, then come back here and apologize for your painfully uninformed opinions.
Vehicles are built to dissipate the energy imparted by a collision around the occupants instead of into them like those old sleds would do. They're like helmets, meant to be used once. When you see a helmet that cracked in half, and the person that was wearing it is showing it to you, you don't say, well I'm not wearing helmets any more, look, it broke! No, you say, good thing you were wearing it. It kept your head from releasing it's knowledge all over the pavement.
Excellent comment!
Crumpling too much is also bad, look at what happens to the dummies arm, it's outside of the door after the door pops off.
+Derp Band I just watched another crash test video of 2004-2008 F150 Models and compared it to this one, the
cabin in the older models remained much more intact and the body did not crumble like these new ones, the only thing they lacked back then were curtain airbags, other than that they were pretty safe. I can only imagine being in a multi-vehicular crash with these new ones, airbags only deploy once, a second hit and you're dead. I don't know how the chief engineer got away with lying all over about this new "military grade aluminum alloy"(a term Ford came up with) being stronger than steel, these trucks are NOT safe, too much crumble is bad and this video proves it.
+WQQKIE Ok... First, nobody is keeping you from buying an old truck. If you think they're safer, go for it. You'll be wrong, but at least you'll be happy.
Much like you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge crash results based on the eye test, especially nowadays. The sensors in the dummies and throughout the vehicle must prove that the crash environment is equally or more survivable now than in previous models, or it wouldn't pass.
Now to the matter of the 'military grade aluminum.' Yeah, it is a marketing term, more or less. But so is 'high strength steel,' at least in this capacity. They're not making frames and bodies out of tool steel. If you believe they are, I got some great ocean front property in Iowa you'll love. It's most likely just some run of the mill medium carbon steel that they can get a decent rate on. That applies across the board. True high strength steel is brittle and will just crack under pressure, literally, instead of deforming and absorbing energy. The aluminum bodies are thicker and less prone to dings and dents. I own a 2010, and the sheet metal on those are paper thin. You can look at it wrong and put a dent in it. The extra material is a welcome advancement. The weight savings are just a nice addition.
If you really can't accept your truck body being aluminum, you better baby your current vehicle, because I can nearly guarantee that Chevy and Dodge will be following suit in the next 5-10 years, if not sooner. Plus, there are countless cars on the road that already employ aluminium panels. Aluminum is the foreseeable future. Eventually, carbon and composites will probably take its place. It's a natural evolution. Don't be so afraid. :)
+Derp Band Well your comment seems a little demeaning but I don't care, if that makes you feel better. I'll buy what I want, you're right. However, I was simply comparing apples to apples, and these new F150s are definitely not apples compared to the previous models. Whatever happens in the future is beyond me but we can't deny that these new trucks are garbage, regardless of the brand, a lot of manufacturers are moving in that direction already, like Toyota introducing aluminum hoods on their vehicles for a few years now, etc. Are they safer? Maybe, the one in this video, definitely not which was the point I was making in the first place.
damn... some big differences between supercrew and supercab..
Supposedly they fixed that, the supercrew had a crash bar that the supercab didn't.
@@armymatt83Its been 6 years Ford won't send the F150 for a small overlap test. Suspicious.
@@aidenw207 ah no not at all. they retested it after being fit with the crash bar the crew cab had and it tested out fine.
@@aidenw207 their required to do a crash test on it. It’s already been tested... soo I don’t know what your talkin about
the proof is in the pudding folks, the 4 door truck is safer than the extended cab: having a door for structure is, and always will be, a bad idea. vehicles, trucks in specific, MUST have a true structural B-Pillar to keep the passenger compartment intact. it doesn't matter if the truck is made of aluminum, steel, titanium, or whatever metal you choose. having the front and rear door as the only structural elements on the side is a markedly bad choice, and I don't know how that crap EVER passed crash testing for highway use. they're almost as bad as the old Chevy Blazers were.
That’s probably why Toyota, Chevy, GMC, and Ram don’t do that on their full-size trucks
I don't think people realize these vehicles are hitting solid objects that do not move. Most vehicles can do well in crash tests with other vehicles or with barriers that absorb or share energy. Most road barriers are designed to absorb some of the impact. This test is one of the most difficult tests to pass. There is absolutely no way an older body on frame pickup in this class will do as well in passenger compartment protection (I had a 2001 Ram). Who cares about the truck and how salvageable it is after, a vehicle starts as a block of metal and ends as one. I care about life and limb.
Old to reply, but anyways. Still you can hit solid objects that do not move. What makes you think you can’t?
@@Rodrigo-ev7tx exactly. What if you hit a brick building or a concrete block
@@cptchuff2741 this is literally what they’re testing in the video your commenting on. What are you even trying to say?
@@Willyd2758 What are you trying to say?
@@cptchuff2741 Then you are an idiot driver or you're drunk
Yeah. Many older trucks are a lot less safe. The SuperCrew aced all 5 crash tests with no injuries reported by the dummy. The SuperCab only got a Marginal rating in the Small Overlap crash test but aced the other 4 crash tests with no injuries. The dummy reported possible leg injuries in the Small Overlap test, but nothing life threatening. While the crashes may have looked bad, these trucks did very well. Possibly the safest pickups on the road. No old truck can compare.
Samuel G x
In real life in a vehicle on vehicje crash an older, stiffer, higher riding truck would fare much better then you think. The newer ones are safer if you hit something like a tree, but the older ones do fine if you cream another vehicle, espicially if its something soft. likr a modern pickup
@@redneck400m3 or as actual testing and historical data shows, the "soft" modern truck breaks and crushes whilst keeping the cab intact whilst the older stiffer trucks either cream their contents all over the inside and you hose them off and replace the dented bumper...or they rollover and the roof shears straight down crushing them 🙄
@@JohnLawley24v No. like i said, if you hit a tree or something solid yes the new one fares better. If you hit another vehicle, that is modern and softer, it absorbs the older trucks impact as well and the newer vehicle takes the brunt of the force. Like crashing a 2x4 into a pop can.
Some of these people need to go back to school and learn about physics...
+Andres Velez Bernal What about physicist? Obviously the engineers who designed this truck failed psychics. If you believe this truck is a good example of energy absorption then you are wrong, because as much as this truck crumbles you will be dead in a crash.
+jldude84 Just note to yourself, I never said I was an expert. I also never said that a crash at that speed would kill you.
+jldude84 a crash at 40 mph into an object that has very little absorption like that wall can most definitely kill
you, easily.
+jldude84 a crash at 40 mph into an object that has very little absorption like that wall can most definitely kill
you, easily.
+jldude84 and this means what? we shouldn't design for the one in a million crash? your point has no substance. yes someone can crash by hitting their head just right so we design to prevent that slim chance. People think crash testing is a side detail. it's a massive undertaking.
Love the supercrew. I hope Ford does this well with the Expedition. I, however, don't think that roof crush test is accurate. they should do the actual roll over test that they did with the Expeditions and actually make it roll over.
@1:23 the grill was like "nope im out"... lol
It said “WANKANDA FOREVA AHHHHHHHH”
I did not notice
Very satisfying, but knowing this is a Ford is slowly eating at my heart
All vehicles are junk but I'll take my chance in a FORD!!!!
Ford built tough
@@MOMAZOSPATO not so tough compared to toyota
This is what ended up convincing me to get the super crew cab with the four doors despite it not being available with an 8-foot bed. The superstructure of the four-door is much better. Also people don't like the aluminum body for some reason, besides it having thin paint and crumbling if you crash it at least it doesn't rust
The super crew did really well, but if you were in the super cab you would have been super screwed.
that grill is like so long my people need me!
Supercrew held up well, supercab driver might be dead. I'll stick to my Chevy.
Lol then crash because of a steering problem
+Andres Olguin Only problem you get with a Chevy is it being to reliable lol
+matthebest018 lol hell yeah
+Daniel Engle lol keep buying chevy, starting 2017 your 1500s and 2500s will also be made form aluminum alloy
+JJ Parker Michael Jackson and the best of the songs and the world
Love the supercrew. I hope Ford does this well with the Expedition. I, however, don't think that roof crush test is accurate. they should do the actual roll over test that they did with the Expeditions and actually make it roll over.
I'm an idiot so explain it to me.........if the trucks were built to withstand the impact and not fold up like an accordion....how would that be a detriment to the passenger when the vehicle is equipped with so many airbags? Seems like a truck that impacts the front shouldn't have it's bed sliding forward to crash into the cab from behind....I'd like to know more about this. Is the frame giving way or the connections on the bed to frame shearing...or the sheer momentum throwing it and stretching the metal away from it's anchor points???
The trucks there in the video are made to completely get wrecked and seriously injure the passengers inside. What else would a Ford truck be for?
+Earl Ismyname Looking at the video, the cab is moving toward the bed and not the other way around. Just look at the bed in relation to the subframe or even the wheel.
When the dash is in your lap the air bags do not good. The body of the truck is meant to take the energy of the accident and move it away from the passengers in the cab. Want to see an example of this go to the video of an old Impala vs new Impala and look how furious the accident is compared to a vehicle meant to with stand the accident and one meant to take the hit for the passengers.
+Michael Hooker finally someone that's not an idiot
They need to reconsider the Aluminum concept, I will not drive or ride in this truck.
Why? It got a Top Safety Pick award
Well then have fun in your rotted out Chevy 10 years from now
After watching this video I will buy strong GMC Sierra
That center pillar does a lot to stiffen up the cab.
Chevy has no comment as to why their trucks did not fair too well. I guess that military grade steel is not so tough after all.
GM (government Motors) was bailed out by Obama in 09 Costed tax payers 2 Billion, Inferior automotive manufacturing and multiple law suits and several deaths costed GM to go bankrupt, Should have left this company FOLD!
Cesar Abraham it's general motels dumbass
The new trend is to make everything weigh as little as a ferrari but has anyone seen how bad a ferrari crash looks like?
FORD must do something for Supercab
Like not sell it until it's redesigned.
They told IIHS that they were looking to make it better in the small overlap. The super crew has more framework making it ace the test.
They already did.
my 11 years old fiat stilo has better ratings then that truck
Yeah highly doubt that.
you got a rolling Coffin! lol
+Cesar Abraham why?
Well I guess that proves that Aluminum planes can't melt into steel buildings.. The steel used on the WTC was MUCH thicker than the steel on that crash test wall.
I'm no expert on this subject, but it seems that in the side crash test. Those tires are on a painted floor so they slide away faster on impact. On a road surface I think the friction would be greater and the truck would sustain a harder crash.
Well the aluminum didn't hold up, lol. It does look safe on the inside however. I remember when my dad bought a wrecked 1993 Toyota pickup. It was hit in the front, and it held up fine, it was perfectly drivable. However, the driver cracked a rib, and got a bad head wound. The driver would probably die in a wreck before the truck did.
jeez I have never been more amazed. That f150 did really well. I could care less for the engine and the back. Insurance will pay and I will walk away because the cab inside was reliable
It did like a shit lol, it was destroyed in the test
@@user-uc4nv9ey1f That’s what it’s supposed to do, to absorb the energy of the impact and minimize the forces on the occupants. That and maintaining the cabin space are the two most important parts of a successful crash test.
The issue with supercab (extended cab) trucks is that the B-pillar is replaced by two doors conjoining. Whereas it takes away from rigidity.
That’s probably why Toyota, Chevy, GMC and Ram don’t do that with their full-size trucks anymore

All pick up trucks are rubbish.. Get yourself a proper suv
Plz tell me you are joking
hhhmmmm i wonder what would happen if they put the max load in the back of this pick up?
A taki wielki i niezniszczalny się wydawał.
Replace the Crash test dummy with the engineers to prove it's really safe.
This is a very accurate test since all Ford drivers are dummies
@@carlosdominguez9978 And your proof is?
@@carlosdominguez9978 Bad joke.
military grade my ass.
never understood how & why they reverted to mass producing those
The frame can't withstand pressure & stress especially in this type of weather;
there are reports & even proving ground tests & comparisons or in life fun snow curling & drifting driving into thick snow the frame actually exhibiting flex & bending like a rubber or flex object
It explains how & why a truck should not use aluminium above or within frame even if strengthened unless reinforced it'll acknowledge bending & breaking
Thank Allah I was planning to buy this junk ,after this vid HELL NO it's looks worse than old Chinees cars crash test .
This is not youcar this is ourcar 🇷🇺
Autos muy malos
why does the crash on the super-cab vary so much from the dual-cab? it is crumbling around the A pillar!
It’s because the super cab doesn’t have the b pillar in the middle supporting the center of the roof
Aluminum junk Ford trucks
I bought a 2015 f150 crew cab and it's safety and how it was made sold me on Fords. I always had Chevys before. Another reason not to buy a GM is because China owns it.
1.09 it falls apart like mark 42 suit..
1:09
Wow the ford looks like garbage compared to the Silverado. The bed crumples in that a damn tin can. Check out the Silverado crash test and see the difference
They improved greatly in the 2016 models if you want to see that
but yet they are the best truck reported by the government?
know your facts. clearly, these trucks earn a good rating because the likelihood of survival and less injuries is better. there has to be SOME give to allow for the energy to go somewhere. if there was no give, you would be dead because of the sudden impact.
.
-The Grill- I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYYY!!!!
A lot of noise being made here about the testing protocol and whether it was "fair" compared to past tests. First off, the IIHS sets the testing protocol and informs the manufacturers what they expect the vehicles to endure. Their protocols are based on real-world accidents and collision information. The protocols are not changed lightly or for transient reasons (e.g. to create higher insurance rates).
Second, if anything, the IIHS has a VESTED INTEREST in lowering the number and severity of injuries associated with collisions. The insurance companies paying out $54,000 for a totaled new truck saves them money if all the occupants walk away with no serious injuries. Someone I worked with years ago was T-Boned in her Toyota Corolla by a 2004 F-150 pickup. Everything worked - the side door beams, air bags, seat belts and the Ford's crumple zones. Were it not for the crumple zones she would have been killed. But the F-150 struck it's centerline just aft of the front wheel on the Toyota and as a result my former coworker lost her lower left leg to crush injuries. Emergency medical costs alone exceeded the cost of both vehicles. Add in recovery, therapy, a prosthesis and on-going medical costs and you can see that IIHS testing actually saves lives and saves millions in insurance claims.
Military grade my ass 😂
What about the load in the front were is it projected to go in a crash like this right through the windsheld
Might as well ride in a Priest
A Prius?
Japanese trucks did far better than ford !
Ford's build quality is very poor , almost the whole car is useless after a single crash
If you guys don't believe, Watch isuzu Dmax, Toyota Hilux and MitsubishiL200's crashes
Alot of people with boners about GM and fiat dont realize ford is the best.
This was in 2015 bud.
the super cab looks to be in the middle of marginal and poor and the supercrew looks to be in the middle of acceptable and good
i have a hotweel f150 lol
I'm surprised these things passed and are allowed on the road
Why? The vehicle preformed well and is safer than many cars on the road today.
+George Hatton what happens when two cars hit you from opposite sides at the same time or a car that weights a shit ton more than you? You will crumble and die. Plus from the way this looks if you hit a deer you will have to buy a new truck cause it will be totaled
+George Hatton plus it's a truck, what happens when you are carrying maximum payload in the back and when you hit something it goes right through the "safer aluminum" and crushes you like the truck
+George Hatton another thing, they are saying 2015's, 2016's and 2017's can pull up to 30,000 pounds. And it increases every year. How can you tow more with a truck that keeps getting lighter. It's not safe, you can't stop 30,000 pounds on a slope with a 7,000 pound truck in front of it!!! Make SUVs out of aluminum to be safer and crumple up, trucks are strictly for work and always have been, but due to these changes they aren't fit for work and will never be used for work either because they cost $70,000
+jdawsnipes You seriously need to look at the basic design of modern vehicles, although they have aluminium panels and soft crumple zones they have a safe passenger cab compartment which is very strong and won't easily crumple, this will be even more reinforced at the rear of the cab so the load won't crush the passengers if a front end crash occurs. If a much larger vehicle hits the truck, the safety features will still work and give the passengers a safe chance of survival, if the truck wasn't designed with crumple zones so it didn't crumple if a larger vehicle hit it, the passengers wold suffer almost certain death from the forces they would experience without a crumple zone. And yes, it quite possibly would be 'totalled' if it hit a deer or similar sized animal at a reasonable speed, but like all modern safe vehicles, it's designed to sacrifice itself in a crash to keep the occupants safe inside. Aluminium has always been used on car panels and most likely always will be!
The bed should not collapse into the cab like that.
Proof of a very under-built vehicle. Made like a tin can.
+Joe Schmoe you're such an idiot
dakota croasdale [citation needed]
Seriously, cars in the 30's were built so incredibly heavy the 357 Magnum was invented because 38 rounds would not penetrate the metal of old American cars/trucks.
Compared to today, a 38 will sail through and into the engine block of one of these rolling plastic phones. Thats prettymuch what these things are, computers on wheels that people drive. And they obsolete about as fast, and they are just as if not moreso impossible to fix yourself.
+Joe Schmoe yes, I agree with you, no matter what brand older is better, but out of all the companies now I'd choose ford. btw my dad has a 59 ford f100 and it's built like a tank.
Because it's aluminum
I think Suzuki jimny handled better crash test then this F150!! see for yourself
FORD BUILT EXTREMELY TOUGH
Buy an old ford! Steel frame bolted to an aluminium body is very weak
evo emperor These trucks are actually very safe. They both did well in the normal crashes like frontal and side. The SuperCrew also got a Top Safety Pick award.
Paultwice22 yeh right buddy just stick to Chevorlet
Or GMC FORD SUCKS ASS
TyPieWaffles Sticking to GMC? Wasn't the whole ignitions-from-hell-fiasco from just a couple of years ago? Worst one being Chevrolet cobalt that killed a couple dozen peoples. Since when is the GMC, especially Chevorlet, bastion of safe vehicles?
I wonder if this car is made from clay or steel!
Its made out of aluminum foil hahaha
And you're a dumbass the aluminum outside is suppose to absorb. the steel truck is stiff and hits violently look at Ferrari s there safe you crash 120 everything breaks off but the passenger space aka space frame is well controlled no intrusion but it's the stop that kills you at that point not the car. There is space grade materials on that stiffen it's unibody that's how the engine breaks off it's separate from its frame old cars had no structure cage just full frame that bolts on to the chassis so the engine an everything will crush you.
Btw, GM guys, before you bash on this vid... The crash tests of the military grade steel 1500s are worse than this.... only people who can brag are the ram guys (not that any exist ;) hahah
Simple physics, more energy is dissipated, there for imposing less energy on the occupants. These crash test are actually more desirable. If you don't like aluminum autos you must not like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lambos and Audi's. All of these are made or have aluminium bodies or bits.
Ford, your pickups are getting worse. That was just pathetic, it crumpled. I know crumple zones and all, but you are pushing it.
ВАЗ не хуже!
Curious. Any information on which engine the trucks are equipped with??
Diesel
More damage to the body means it is doing its job, absorbing the energy from the impact. Its shocking how many people determine a vehicles safety by the outside damage, obviously not understanding the concept of energy and how it is dissipated. New vehicles are made to crumble on the outside, protecting the cab and passengers on the inside. Energy from an impact has to go somewhere, I prefer it go to the body of the truck!
Wow Ford is trash
lmao at some comments on this video. "ohhhh this crash test is worse them Chinese cars,this truck crumpled,it's shit" Go read a book kids. F150 is the safest truck on the road,and this crash test rating is Very Good!
Built Ford tough
Ford talking about their truck being "Built tough" well no their not when the truck crashed the bed literally acted like paper if you saw it was bending toward like paper bro not ford is built fought and they wanna be lesson with other company's talking about the ford is better qbut its really not so do not buy ford products
King cab..... BUILT THOUGH .....marketing bullshit
that wall is so strong😎
Who is with me? Go CORONA!!!!
Greatness.
In both trucks the dummy slamming into the airbag is a near miss,in fact the head can hit the windshield,,give me a Daktari Range Rover,lol
supercabs f150s sucks. where in 2016 and ford still doesnt make a better version of the supercab
SuperCab side impact seems a lot better than it's front. Buying a crew soon I hope.
No puedo qreer que mugrero de camioneta tan fuertes y resistentes que seven tal ves sirban para cargar cosas o remolcar pero no para la seguridad de la familia se destrosan total mente todas qual Caroceria de grado militar ni que nada NO recomiendo esa camioneta ..... Mucho mejor la Toyota Tundra 2016.
One day I would like to see the results with one of these tanks loaded in the back with stuff. After all that's what they get bought isn't it. Be no one would have been killed from the frontal impact but when the stuff in the rear come through your had it.
you can talk about crumple zones all you want but that truck looked like it was made out of rubber. the 2014 f150 handled that test better.
I'm not going to lie I'm not very smart when it comes to crash stuff but the fucking door on the super cab looked like it fell off slightly that freaks me the fuck out seeing as I always get that cab style because my truck are farm and work trucks
I have the supercab one, still a thousand times better than the 2002 f150 the reason I sold mine.
If only Volvo made pick up trucks.
Ford just saved my brother’s life.
broken arm, atleast xD
yes due to the airbag
damn, that aluminum shredded like a coke can
ทำไมพังง่ายจัง
To all those that emphasize "crumble zones"
Thats great and all, but I would rather use the other car for my crumple zone. Also, in higher-speed inpact that "crumple zone" becomes akin to very vapid foam, whereas a firmer designed vehicle (hence firmer "foam") will stull crumple but it wont immediately give away all that distace and then leave you 18 inches from that lethal energy.
crumple zones absorb the energy if it was designed and correct me if you meant different, to stay intact youd get more forces on you then if it crumpled
I concur with danny. For those who are uninformed, crumple zones take the energy away that would then be transferred to your internal organs causing (at worse) internal bleeding and ultimately death (imagine your heart/lungs/etc "crashing" into your ribs at the same speed [energy] as your crash). Why do you think a SMART car passes these tests? When it's tested it bounces all over the place displacing the energy from the crash.
***** Bouncing is actually worse in most cases because no energy is dissipated. 99% of the time your vehicle will not hit a 3 foot thick concrete wall, but rather another vehicle or a building that will give. Therefore if your vehicle has more mass, and is built stronger and wont crumple like a tin can, it will push these things aside and dissipate energy that way, without falling apart like a plastic Chinese toy.
The only thing thats really saving people in new cars are the seat belts and airbags. If we built cars today like we did in the 1930's with good seat belts and air bags, chance of death even in highway accidents would be near zero.
I suppose you have a physics degree? Because that's the most absurd answer I've ever heard. Every hit (bounce) dissipates energy. Now, the idea that "all cars hit concrete at 80mph head on" would mean that people don't need to be driving. However, physics (you know, science?) shows that any time a force pushes into something still, it transfers the force energy into the still object - therefore dissipating energy. Now, if the object doesn't accept the energy (say concrete, for example), then the energy is transferred back to the animate object - ultimately the person within the vehicle. Once again, assuming that you have this aforementioned physics degree, you will understand that crumple zones are made to accept said energy instead of the passenger of the car. Okay, physics lesson over.

To give a juxtaposition, in a higher speed impact the crumple zones give way immediately like light foam and do almost nothing, and a truck built without them act like "firm foam" and you have a higher survival rate. And the crumple zones are only beneficial in low speed impact and as a result cars are totalled at low speed collisions. Way back in the day they were not totalled due to a fender bender.
Let me put it this way, ALL the "Dukes of Hazards" jumps were filmed with a real car making that jump for real, no CGI. And most of the time the car actually survived. A modern car's unibody frame would immediately ball like a tin can. From the 1930's to 50's cars were so thick and heavy they were literally bullet resistant. The reason the 357 Magnum was invented was because 38 Special rounds would not penetrate the doors of an automobile in the 30's
And BTW, head on collisions are rare, and smacking head first into a concrete wall is even more rare. I'd rather have a big heavy car that will keep its momentum and push other cars out of the way. More death/injury for others but I'll survive so I dont care. Bigger cars and truck when hit do not flex much at all so the other car hitting you balls up more.
Let me put it like this, would you rather crash in a car or a big rig? A big rig or a tank?
More mass = safer.
I am willing to ignore the idiocy of some of these people and ask the real question at hand. How high is yalls insurance?
Now Ford has the pride model truck, with rainbow ribbons 👎🏽
Lol why does the gas cover open up after each crash??? It's the stupid stuff I look for !
You can’t predict this would happen in real life on a road it could be much worse or easliy fixed still car crashes are dangerous
This would be such a fun job
It sure would
Thats bad!!! Typical American car... 💩
ok so now I know why ford put sold gm and other company's lol
They should just sell that ramming cart they made as a car, way safer than any god damn vehicle XD
Hey serious question what do they do with the cars after ?
Some are displayed, some are sent back to the manufacturers to be dealt with, so parts can he salvaged and some are just sadly scrapped.
I was at the DC car show a few weeks back, Honda had a crash tested car on display to show off it’s safety.
Wow pretty bad for a truck...it should be stronger..!!!
Is the entire truck a crumple zone? Jeeze that thing almost folded in half.
