Bigger Isn’t Always Safer!

[T V O R]

2008 Ford Ranger gets 2 Stars in the Euroncap crash tests. Almost 2 tons of metal folding around you isn’t healthy! Bigger isn’t always safer

Looks like it is made from butter!

Its not really suprising as a lot of the pickups are very basic under the bling on the outside, the Navara only got 1 or 2 stars on its NCAP test.

I wonder if this will make the aggressive drivers who drive them calm down a bit

It's a bit of an obvious title for this thread though.

The Titanic was pretty big you know !

Was that the same one Clarkson tried out on Top Gear once ?

Do you mean the red one? If so that was an F150, still a pile of yank junk IMO

thats really poor, very shocking indeed.

Thats against an immovable concrete block though....

Sure there are concete things about to hit... but It would be interesing to see a head on impact between a 2 star hick-up and "high rating" tiny shopping car!

The main reason that SUVs and trucks are usually a false security is because they are x many times more likely to end up shiney side down....

I still miss my surf though :(

That's shocking. Just shows larger aint better.

Not a patch on the Hilux they tried to kill!

Here are the FULL RESULTS FOR FORD RANGER

I noticed this gem

There was insufficient pressure in the airbag to prevent the head from contacting the steering wheel.

Chocolate fireguards spring to mind

It’s a poor show from such a big manufacturer that their latest model gets only a 2 star rating in crash tests.

Looking forward to seeing the iQ results

It hasnt been tested yet (think?) but here is what TOYOTA IRELAND have to say
