Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I cried a little seeing those beautiful trucks being destroyed!

 

I see you cried for the trucks but don't give a crap for the test dummy...they are people too.

 

Plastic lives matter?

 

...and people want to do a cab mount chop to run big ol tires. Watch the video and see what the cab mounts does.

I raised a glass to the plastic guys doing their job.

Thanks for posting OP! Very cool.

Always skeptical of the IIHS, but glad the tacos did well.

 

Same here but what's cool about the back end of the test institution is that it's the insurance companies equally fund this lab. Their tests pin manufacturers to strive for better crash test ratings and vehicle safety. They also promote, through evidence, better cars. So in return, insurance companies have to pay less or lower casualty/pain and vehicle repair checks. It's a full win circle.

 

Hey we won something!! Now how do i trade it in for horsepower.

 

You really think a cab mount chop will make a difference in an accident?

Good to see and thanks for posting. Good to know I got a good reliable safe truck for my family!!

 

Rad! I'm going out to crash my Tacoma this weekend. Who's in?

 

Watch the video. Watch the front tire.

 

I think the key is to lift your truck high enough that when the body detaches from the frame, you just fly over the mayhem safe in the cab.
