    That's a front suspension collapse. Normally, getting high-centered would cause the front wheels to droop. Looks like even the Chevy Topkick medium duty truck suspension can't handle all the armor... Look at the thickness of the A-pillar when the driver got out.

    Man, he helps GM with the bail out and can't even get a quality car. He should have let them figure it out like Ford. Ford is running on there own two feet no help from the gov.

    Don't like the cars much but you have to love the F series truck...quality
