Yea, someone else posted that a while back. Funny thing is, my insurance is cheaper on this truck because it is supposedly safer than my Sierra was. Lol. Sure hope my insurance don't go up now :Grenade:

It is not a valid study. nobody knows where they got their statistics from, but it surely wasn't crash data. google up iihc stats and you will see.

Quote from the article:
"the most dangerous vehicle on the road today: The Ram pickup truck."

They must be high. Sure tall vehicles can roll over easier, but damn. I don't want to get hit, but if I did, I would rather be in my Ram than a giant list of other smaller vehicles.

Meanwhile, golf carts, I mean Smart Cars, are going doing 70mph down the highway. Do they use any common sense in these studies?

Yeah Smart cars terrify me. It feels like you would be 110% dead in a 20mph fender bender. Not to mention the way people drive them here in Austin.

I'd wanna be in a iQ. 11 airbags in a roll cage. Worst car, fiat 500. Like 5 airbags?

Ditto that. Absolutely mind boggling how they could post an article like this. The editor must hate Mopars.

They're basing a lot of their results off the 2nd gen rams which did poorly in crash tests and the new crash test star rating system(rams were 5 and are now 2 and 3 so a new 2 or 3 is an old 5, and a new 4 and 5 is even better than an old 5)

Whoever wrote that must be smoking crack, 1500 the most dangerous vehicle? Buuuullshiiittt. Obviously they haven't tested the "street legal" go-carts, the fiat 500 and "smart" car. I guess I'd have to agree that our truck is the most dangerous vehicle, if you have a death sentence and drive a fiat or smart lol

Ahh, but those other vehicles you listed are fuel-efficient. Want to bet the article writer and/or the editor are Democrats and enviro-nazis?

I'm not betting **** because I know your right lol. Now that you mention that, where are the writers that are truck owners till they die and despise small cars? We're getting the **** end of the deal here... There's nobody on our side giving bad crash test reports on these golf carts...
