4x4 crash test safety

maybe crow but not appropropriate, I dont want my kids seeing this type of crow worthy talk.

Yeah, guess it got Graham Kennedy into trouble in the day...

I forgot to put in the Ford F150, it has many many benefits in so many areas. People are raving about them, now F150 lovers have a golden bullet in their ammo. This is a must see.

Just watched the clip of the F150. The dummy has a seat belt on but the seat belt is anchored to the seat and not the "B" pillar. No wonder the dummy went under the dash.

B pillar or no, the whole car crushed him like a tin can, that car is a heap of crap no matter what the excuses. But as stated, I think the new F150 is better. Still though, they may be bif, but they aint good.

Thats big, not bif.

Frontal Offset collision is still the hardest barrier test to pass. Australian ADRs changed early this decade to make our 4wds safer but our 4wds still don't have to pass a frontal offset barrier collision test.

They used to be exempt from a lot more than they are now.

There's still room to improve though and market forces will push the manufacturers there before the legislators IMHO.

doesn't look like it at all but hey I wasn't there.

Hi there Ray, they're from the L200 forum from the UK... I put them up a while ago with a link to the thread. I got yackin' to the guy and got his permission to share them about the place..The guy claims 70Mph and there was no reason to doubt him. Mind you, I'm in no hurry to test it out...

Maybe it rolled onto it's roof and slid to a stop. Feasible.

Been to a few at half that speed that have looked much worse.

Dave

Dave, I'd say it spent most of it's time on the roof... Other pics in the post show damage to every panel on the thing, worst was front left and roof though.

Reckon you're right, look at the top of the intercooler intake. It's definately gone for a slide.

Best way to come to stop though. I'll take a long scary slide to a stop than the impact when you roll into the trees.
