Small pickups struggle in new IIHS crash test
Вставка

- None of the five small crew cab pickups IIHS tested earns a good rating in the updated moderate overlap front crash test, which now includes a second dummy positioned in the rear seat behind the driver.

It’s not comforting that as soon as the IIHS makes their testing even a little bit harder like 70% of new cars fail.
That's why they have to keep doing it to make sure manufacturers aren't just doing the bare minimum. Keeps them in check. More reason to appreciate IIHS and NHTSA
@@plumokin5535 IIHS. Government's NHTSA's crash test standards are obsolete it is laughable.
@@miraphycs7377the NHTSA does do tests that the IIHS doesn’t do so they’re not totally useless
Really love the work that iihs does
A sea of disappointing results. This new test is really illuminating how many vehicles have sub-standard rear-seat protection.
Cool intro. I admire your work very, very much. Also, the sanctions for bad headlights should be greater, i.e. it is incredible how many new cars have bad headlights in the sense that they have waay to much glare for oncoming drivers.
This is the largely the fault of iihs another similar organizations which don't consider glare for oncoming drivers.
Ratings good for selling cars come with obscenely bright headlights, without regard for glare. Iihs, consumer Reports among others all suffer from this. Ditto with police LED lights at night, which are often likely more dangerous than safe.
@0:36 thats cool to see the seat belt tensioner "tighten up" on the rear passenger prior to the hit. never seen that or paid attention to that before.
*_Pretensioner._*
"A pretensioner is designed to retract some of the webbing of a seatbelt the instant a collision occurs, tightening the seatbelt to restrain occupants quickly and reducing the amount they are thrown forward in a moderate or severe frontal crash."
The Ford Ranger crew cab also has pre tensioned seatbelt for rear seat passengers. Interesting to only get an M. (The first one also has this, but get an A, still not a G.) Maybe from now on, to get a G not only require manufacturers to use pre tensioned seatbelt for rear seat, but also to tweak them well.
Many vehicles with pretensioners are rated marginal, such as the Nissan Rogue, Toyota Highlander, and the Subaru Forester.
It caused the seatbelt to go into the abdomen which could lead to internal damage.
I think they need seatbelt force limiters and seats designed for anti-submarining
I'm glad IIHS still has not been discontinued since 2010! Wow that is impressive!!
Was it supposed to get shut down?
@@namemcnamerton4249 No, its just surprising 13 years
Love this channel I always watch before I buy thank you!
0:10 haven’t seen this barrier angle since dateline
If Dateline's Lea Thompson and Brian O' Neil saw these tests, they would be really disappointed. Not sure what manufacturers can do to significantly improve the results of a rear passenger seatbelt or its tightening against someones abdomen. I figured the next off set crash would be to just increase the speed to like 50mph.
The FIAT Gladiator.
FIAT Gladiator and Renault Frontier 😂
@@CarringtonHollister I don’t think that Stellantis bought out Nissan.
I do know that Stellantis owns FIAT. Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep went to ask our Government AGAIN for a bailout, but our government told Chrysler Corp to pack sand, so after filing for bankruptcy FIAT bought Chrysler Corporation.
I didn’t think Chrysler and Jeep products could get any worse in reliability, but I was wrong !
A few years ago a friend of mine’s son had just graduated with his Masters degree in mechanical engineering. He interviewed with Chrysler Corp and they told him that he would need to design parts that would only last for about 40K miles so that the owners of their vehicles would have to come in and buy from them.
My friends son told Chrysler Corporation to forget it. He left before the interview was over. He now works for Toyota Motor Company USA.
@@CarringtonHollisterackshually, the new frontier is not based on the global frontier/navarra
Bailout ranger
@@RCPhotosVideos more like bailout Colorado lol
jeep with a poor. what a surprise!
@@MondernMananything jeep is considered a loss. never got the hype regarding the wrangler and gladiator when FJ cruiser was a thing
@@MondernMan wrong test. This is a moderate overlap test, not small overlap.
@@MondernMan Is there? I haven't seen a single car roll during a moderate overlap test as the impact force is evenly applied, unlike small overlap.
I don’t see any noticeable difference between any of these. What is being measured? G force?
What are the red lights for? Are they hooked into the vehicles airbags system to show the system being activated or what?
What midsize car do you think will be the best performer?
At least the passenger cabins seem to hold up well. That aspect of design is much improved over the past.
What metrics is this test measuring?
Is this mostly because of poor design of the seat belts? Or lack of front airbag?
I know the Ford Fusion (discontinued after 2020) Has 2nd row inflatable seat belts, which should lower the chest forces during a crash. Even so airbags would help but you need to realize that children often sit in the rear seats, and airbags can be harmful to kids. Some vehicles like the Ascent and Mach-e have good ratings in this test and don't have 2nd row airbags.
I want to see a head on crash of two of these types of pickup trucks.
Honda Ridgeline?
so glad nobody did well. this means safer cars for the future.
Means more expensive cars for the future ☠️
I bet all these trucks would out perform the cars they impact.
@@justcallmejohn2833 that’s definitely not what you should be taking from this test.. trucks are inherently more dangerous in rollovers, and unequivocally more dangerous for pedestrians. They only do better against cars because of the massive weight advantage, which ruins their handling and fuel economy, in addition to emergency handling and braking.
Can someone explain what I’m seeing and why hey they scored so terrible?
thats due to the new test counting in rear passengers and most of the cars causing bad injuries and not controlling the movement
@@HondaZRV thank you for responding. I wish there was someone to talk us through this because, from the layman view, i don’t *SEE* poor performance because in an accident, everyone’ll move around.
@@okniceguy yes but they move around too much and in the case of the Toyota and jeep the poor movement caused injures causing a poor rating
The focus on this is the rear passenger, the seatbelts should have pre-tensioners that fire a charge and pull the rear passenger into the back seat, but as you see in most of these, the rear passenger moves around way to much which causes injury.
@@Zalagar619 Thank you so much. I am now able to focus on that instead of everything else. Title and description both didn’t help.
im confused,the cars do great but get poor ratings?
Some of these vehicles are previous gens
Aren’t the Chevy and Jeep pretty new?
Is that the new Colorado or Canyon?
2022 got it
The Jeep Gladiator didn't even have side impact airbags.
Nissan did a comnetable job
I’m surprised the Frontier performed well considering it’s age!
It was redesigned for 2022.
Performed well? It's like saying one portopotty has the best smelling contents compared to the other four.
I'd say it had the upper edge because it's the most newest model tested here. They need to revisit this with the new Tacoma, the two GM brothers, Ranger and refreshed gladiator.
Well this is the new model.
@@DanielSparten They don't test a new vehicle unless the body-style is changed. Cars of the same body-style are structurally identical.
😳 WOW, the Toyota Tacoma was HORRIBLE.
I certainly hope the new redesigned 2024 Tacoma has vastly improved the crash worthiness. If not, I won’t buy one.
The 3 main reasons why we own Subaru’s is because of their reliability, safety / crash worthiness and of course the
Superior AWD system.
I was Shocked by the safety / crash worthiness of the Tacoma. It crumpled like a tin can.
Unbelievable !
Don't forget that the standards and expectations are higher now, so what was deemed acceptable several years ago is now poor. I wouldn't say it makes the vehicle entirely unsafe, but Toyota does need to improve safety for sure.
this tacoma is old so...
@@miraphycs7377 The 2024 year model will be totally new from the ground up
I'm not sure what you mean.
It failed because the rear passenger gets flailed around because there's no airbag in the driver's seat, that's why all of these trucks failed the test.
All the crumpling is contained to the crumple zone in the nose of the truck, and the cab doesn't appear to have any catastrophic failure. The driver would likely be able to step out of the vehicle in its damaged state.
Lol he said a sub is reliable. Tell us you don't drive it at all some more. Nobody who owns them or works on em, has ever said these words unless they are lying to themselves.
As usual, Toyota did the worst!! What a surprise!!
Nissan wins again
So Ford wins with a marginal....
Simply don’t crash then 🤷🏻♂️
Don’t have a skill issue and you’ll be ok
What skill do I have to learn to evade a drunk driver going 200mph on a turn?
