What wasn't expected and is very concerning is RAM played down these results "As they know better" and performed very poorly. The body structure received a "Poor" rating that's completely unacceptable with today's products. Shame on ram...

We're likely to not hear a lot from the other crowds. If this was about a problem with Ford we'd be on page 12 by now.

Yes... And Don (aka perysburgdodgeboy and/or Ram mafia) would be leading the pack!

I think this thread needs some consultation from Don! :R

LMAO Troy, I'm hurt that you have such a low opinion of my buddy ole pal.

Glad to see Ford has done so well in the crash tests! As they should since they are running a new platform. Ram gets a ground up redo for 2017. The sad part is GM/Chevy just redid their trucks so they will need to address this like Ford did for their 2016 MY trucks.

Note, I have no problem give Ford or any brand their due unlike you buddy boy. Hows your BIL doing bTW LMAO

Don

I have a positive opinion about u since I asked for your consultation services.

Btw the BIL is doing very well he just purchased a Cadillac escalade SUV for his wife. I test drove it Easter weekend and thought it was an outstanding ride. I highly recommend one if u have the means.

I wonder if anyone else noticed that the F150 front wheel twisted 90 degrees during the small off set collision, where the Ram the wheel stayed almost straight. :h The F150 wheel by turning the 90 degrees provided a larger surface area to absorb the intrusion into the cab. It would be interesting to see a clip of the Tundra to see if the wheel stayed straight or turned.
It would be interesting to understand why it does that. Is it by design, or just a difference in the front suspension?

I would say it is by design. With Ram's history of front steering you would think that would be the first brand to shed its front wheels :B

LMAO :B

Ha... it figures that by the time Ram finally figured out how to build a decent front end, there is a new crash test that the old design would have performed better!

I was highly critical of Ford's performance with the small overlap with the extended cab last year. Glad they fixed it. I'm surprised at how poor the Ram and Tundra performed.

Thanks for sharing!

We had the Global Pickups doing basically the same tests, most ranged from 3-5. Ones who got a basic 3 tried too , to improve and get a 5 ,several have. Those US tests are similar to the now defunct Chinese /Malaysian Pickups, that we're getting 2-3's. I think many manufacturers need to lift their game. Pickups may look imposing on the road, giving a psychological comfort, but in a accident, they are still pretty dangerous
Asian Vans are death on wheels, many have been failed totally here.
Several YouTube videos, that are around that show early Chevrolet and Ford 1/2 tons ( early 2000's)falling apart in a crash. Asian Vans are terrifying, they disintergrate
YouTube Nissan Navara 4 Star rating

Most usually use " deer camp" as a way out of threads around here :W

No video but this site has pictures of all trucks post crash. Looks like the Ford is the only one with the wheel turned a complete 90 degrees.
