I remember auto accidents with those cars when they "were" new or fairly new. The cabins crumpled as bad as the one in the video. Even up to the '90s pickup trucks were horrible in crash tests. A collision with a Fiesta would favor the pickup truck it would surprise you how bad even a small car could crumple the cab of a full size pickup.
Some new Chinese Pickups tested in Australia have been as bad as that.The Chinese had to reengineer them to make them acceptable.That would get a rating of 2 out of 5 for the Ford and Rams crash. 4 out of 5 is acceptable, 5 out of 5 for a Pickup is what manufacturers aim for and eventually get.
