Gotta love it. Proof posted of B pillar-less design being comparable to a B pillar design in crashworthiness, and the response is about brand loyalty/blinders and a shift to A pillar complaints. Have you ever considered a career in politics?
Well you might want to go take a look at what safercar.gov is using for the side impact test. It is a low riding sled, so I stand by my assertion that a club cab (Ram) or super cab (Ford) and even The GM twins club cab are not as safe as a true Crew cab with a B pillar that is part of the vehicle and not just a beefed up side support that the clam shell doors have.
Had they tested them using a sled that truly represented a full size pick up the ratings would not be 5 star! Those doors do not have a true B Pillar as it is not part of the body structure. The top and bottom latches will not keep the door from folding right in IF hit be a high riding vehicle.
That is why I never bought one of those trucks. I have seen frist hand at accident scenes how they hold up, or better yet do not hold up!
