The question is, as older retirees, will we be able to get out in time? As younger vacationers with our little children all buckled up in car seats in the back, will we be able to unstrap the morass of harnesses in time to get them out in time?

Wow, a PROTOTYPE truck burns up and suddenly we have a horror/panic segment for 60 minutes? To answer your question, the fire load in an interior car fire is, of course, the plastic trim, upholstery, floor mats and everything else inside the car or truck. The aluminum body is not part of the fire load although it will melt. Whether you can get them out on time depends entirely on how fast you move, not what the car or truck body is made of.

LOL, I've only been in one car fire in my life TG, but being around race cars for a long time I have seen dozens of fires.

Let me tell you; fire is a BIG motivator in getting out of a car. I have seen big fat guys move at the speed of light when there is flame involved. There is something about fire that just gets people moving! :B
