Saw on MSNBC last night where they did side-impact crash tests on pickups &
SUVs. The only 3 trucks to get 5 stars (the best) were the Dakota, Ford F150
& Ranger. The S-10 & Mazda got 3 or 4, and the Toyota failed at only 1 star.
They hit the truck in the driver's door broadside at 35mph,crash dummies
inside, and check the results. Dakota dummies were uninjured, Toyota dummies
were crushed. I feel safer already.
