Silverado Crash test

[thenixter101]

At least it did better than the F-150.

[jonacalderona]

This was better than the F150 crush

[jiely92]

hmm i think a broken neck..

[josh3152896]

Just so everyone knows the point of this is to see the CAB strength. If the truck didnt crumple like that you would die for sure.

[2cv56]

What was the speed ?

[denizkaminsky]

he died

[clevenger013]

Thts y my 99 silverado has 250xxx miles

[djplace16]

did better then the ford model lol

[nonameHER0]

that is the reason why we buy mercedes

[TiconderogaX]

@nonameHER0 Because you're retarded? The Mercedes M class did worse than this on it's 40mph test. This is a 60mph test.

[VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

@TiconderogaX 31 mph this is a Standard IIHS test ,don´t invent things

[VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA]

@TiconderogaX This test is not bad , but you cannot compare with that of the Mercedes class ml, (I recommend to you to see it) since what a crashtest measures is that lel cockpit remains intact

[TiconderogaX]

@VITOLLFOTOGRAFIA Actually 40mph is a standard test.

[silentLvLlokotex3]

One of the reasons I don't like them trucks ha

[stephenleenorman]

this test was taken at 10 mph

[stormtroopera52]

@stephenleenorman Actually, this isn't a ford, its a chevy, on a serious note thats a 45 MPH collision, because even small cars can come out of a 20ish MPH collision in pretty stable shape, this is a collision at the average street speed showing how well a vehicle is going to absorb all those forces and save your life regardless of the vehicles condition

[stephenleenorman]

@stormtroopera52 who said it was a ford and i was jk settle down

[stormtroopera52]

@stephenleenorman lol it was a basher comment, a joke that only ford would look that bad after a 20mph collision hah

[citifind]

can i see the car fax

[mikqaz666]

That wont make me stop driving my 2002 chevy silverado! Fuck that its still a good truck in many ways.

[Daytona426x]

if you watch the crash tests for all the other trucks of these years, this on does the best

[fenderplayer489]

@83ls No, there are things you can do to get up to atleast 25mpg on the highway I have a 2009 chevy v8 and had a chip installed and had it dyno tuned and I get 24mpg on the highway.

[caniwitech]

@83ls My 02 2500 cummins gets 22, and is 4x4.

[urbanmuscle21]

@83ls or drives a diesel

[lucymai1]

My 02 Chevy V8 gets much more than 20 mpg for highway , it gets 16 or so in the city but I am not a speed between red lights person

[cbburtraw]

Bear in mind that this is equivalent to a head on collision with an equal weight vehicle. So even though, say, the Malibu appears to do better, this truck vs the Malibu the truck would fare much better purely due to weight.

Oh, and this is definitely closer to 45 than 15.

[MrMdr96]

@83ls or we know how 2 mod our engines i hav an 02 silverado and this is why i got a bigass grilleguard!!!

[EpicMealTimePEGJETS]

dont  worry just before you will crash you be out of gas!!

[TheMercedesboss]

@83ls you can,,, as long as it is chipped though

[TheSonyet69]

@83ls i get about 30mpg with my chevy 1500, downhill, in neutral.

[ColeTrains96Z28]

Appears the silverado and Tundra did the best. Also this was at 45 mph, not 15mph. i did some checking on that

[ColeTrains96Z28]

@ColeTrains96Z28 If you search there is one with all the fullsize trucks

[Mockingbird5150]

like a rock. a sedimentary one.

[MrDeViLsSnEeR]

This was at 15mph

[GmTruckCarLove]

@83ls If you drive very careful you can get more.

[Craziguitarman321]

@83ls Its the 5.3 as well. forgot to add that

[Craziguitarman321]

@83ls My 02 silverado gets 22 highway. Only mods are cold air intake K&N and flowmaster exhaust dumped at the axel. just a few simple mods helped out add 4 on the highway. City is only 15 to 16 though.

[51dumbdumb]

how fast?

[dankebuddha]

@83ls i got a 2009 chevy 5.3 liter v8 i get 22 - 24 mpg mix driving

[counterclockwise123]

Might have a broken leg, other than that it looked good to me.  You'd survive.

[Aquariumsrwet]

@83ls you are right about GASOLINE trucks.... not DIESEL trucks

[GadgetsNGear]

@83ls

Its possible with a Diesel V8

[bestamerica]

'

very bad design and WEAK metal / plastic vehicle

[400exrider92]

Built like a rock my ass lol

[350RSCamaro]

@83ls 21mpg with a 2002 Silverado 2500HD, Duramax diesel and 6-speed manaul. does it all day long.

[vladika07]

Holy smoke this was terrible . That front wheel crushed the cabin.

[solarlightning]

@vladika07 ya for some reason all old american trucks are horrible check out the 2001 f150

[MegaTutorialTV101]

oh shit lokk under the car, my dad just got a 2011 f150 babby

[nizmojoeblows]

@83ls but i also have efans so that helps.

[nizmojoeblows]

@83ls my 4.6L v8 in my 98 f150 gets 23 MPG on the highway if i keep her under 55 mph..better gas mileage then my last car....on the highway that is....lol

[ChevyTrucksRock69]

@83ls my 1989 chevy c1500 gets 15-18 mpg on the highway in california however in utah on 85 octane gas I got 25 mpg highway going up the i-15 so you're an idiot. it has a 350 5.7 L engine.

[1999z71silverado]

holy shit tht was bad but it did look better than the f150 crash test

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@1999z71silverado f150 just plain sucks. I hate it to death. Worst pickup trucks ever from my experience. The differentials in those are just shithouse. The transmission is made in china and the plastic interior creaks and makes noise especially on hot days. Fucking garbage. The electrics would fail on corrugated roads and bumpy roads. I thought I was being chased by a ufo that was turning off all the electrics. fucking shitbox truck. God damn i hated that time wasting piece of shit.

[1999z71silverado]

@LOLDISNEYLAND yeah i agree. the only f150 i like is the raptor

[Brmobrad]

thats why i avoid sment walls lol

[KelliferandLanifer]

@Brmobrad that's not how you spell cement......

@everyoneelse hey atleast the hoods good on the truck

[SuperBmxbadass]

@Brmobrad It also looks like you avoid dictionary's.

[Brmobrad]

@SuperBmxbadass ur right i do... i will admit it lmao and dont really care i got my point across lmfao

[rafael5149]

@SuperBmxbadass you meant to say "dictionaries", right?

[SuperBmxbadass]

@rafael5149 Just shut up.

[rafael5149]

@SuperBmxbadass You mad? lol

[kc2pih]

@SuperBmxbadass It also appears that you avoid dictionaries.

[FLguyGB]

@SuperBmxbadass *Dictionaries

[SuperBmxbadass]

@FLguyGB Ok I already know. I wanted to see if anyone would see that, nice your the second person. You win a cookie, now shut the fuck up.

[FLguyGB]

@SuperBmxbadass Oh! I didn't realize someone beat me to it...that's totally his cookie.

[SuperBmxbadass]

@FLguyGB No dude you can have it. thank you for actually taking a joke.

[jofes51]

@83ls

I have a 4.8 GMC Sierra full size truck, that get 24 mpg on the highway. All I gotta do is program it to economy. p.s. I ain't dreaming.

[andrewontiveros]

@83ls mine gets 21mpg

[Camcyde21]

@83ls No, not really. If you put a CAI and a cat-back exhaust and drive on the highway a lot then your probably going to see the mpg in the low 20's. Especially the new silverados with the fuel management.

[ktmyamaha01]

looks exactly the same as the dodge ram 1500.

[littleboblives]

@ktmyamaha01 yeah its the same as the ram, and again the fuel door opened

[ADVATMIC]

que mal.

[kawairider23]

i dont like how close the object gets to the driver, is it just me?

[MercuryMorrison1]

@83ls Ive managed over 20mpg on the highway with a V8 fullsize. I was driving it really nice and easy. But I did manage 22mpg.

[7475flyersfan]

looks like the seat belt relase or soething i dont think the dummy is supposed to look like hes lose from the seat

[aveman3]

@83ls k me and my dad both have full size V8 trucks and we get over 20mpg...im not dreaming

[zaw1112]

I have the same truck

Very reliable model

Fuck

Im afraid

Maybe I wont survive something like that!

[geedunk13]

@zaw1112

not bad at all...I have a 99 F-150, look at the crash test..I think I'd be the one to die

[badgerbuddy]

@zaw1112 look on the bright side... at least you don't drive a chinese car

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@zaw1112 Reliable? When I lived in the USA, I had one of those. I sold it for another one because I thought my one had some gremlins from previous owners. Even the second one had issues that pissed me off. So I bought a toyota tundra and so far no problems at all. I'm paranoid about that though.

[zaw1112]

@LOLDISNEYLAND Well, it depends man, I bought the truck from new and never had a problem, of course, with the proper maintenance. But now I sold it two weeks ago and I'm in the waiting list for a 2011 silverado z71!

Regards

[PACKyourSHITfolks420]

@zaw1112 When is the last time you did something like that?

[spidermonkey651]

@zaw1112 the engine makes it stronger so it you know

[FID3R]

@zaw1112 you will the cabin is safe the rest should brake in a crash like this so you will survive

[lprocker189]

@83ls i own a 05 silverado 5.3 v8 i have a K&N cold air intake and flowmaster 50 series dual exhaust and im gettin around 22 highway. its prob cause the combo lol

[32middlelinebacker]

@lprocker189 yup same here bro except headers....i get 23 and 19 around town...i have a light foot though...

[stopcryn]

thanks

[JCxShadow]

My father has 1999 Chevy Silverado that goes 17-18 MPG highway and have had 240,000+ miles on it. Crash test look ok inside...just not the best.

[atgskater14]

@JCxShadow

well if your father were to crash his truck into a wall on an offset at 40mph then he's screwed however if he hits a camry he'll be fine. Crash tests have made vehicles alot safer although they don't always accurately represent real life events despite the deformable barrier that the car/truck hits there is still a wall on the other side and vehicles are more likely to crash into other vehicles.

[ThundareRed]

ouch, the driver looks like he got a broken back.

[1KUSTOMIZER]

@83ls I get over 20MPG on the highway with my 2004 Silverado.  And that's when I'm wide awake..............

[stopcryn]

plese tell me how fast the truck was going ?

[johnson200gw]

@stopcryn 40mph

[atgskater14]

@stopcryn

40mph. all iihs offset crashes like this are at 40mph

[rivercrestcolts55]

@83ls my 85 chevy K10 long wheel base with a 6.2L diesel gets over 22mpgs with 31s and straight pipes with no mods and well over 300 thousand miles, my daily driver back and forth to college (20 miles one way). My 04 chevy 4.3L single cab gets about 21 with out footing it but gets about 16 with a lead foot, has K&N cold air, Hypertech tuner, Bosch Iridium Platinum plugs, 40 series flowmaster, royal purple tranny fluid, throttle body spacer and 104 thousand hard miles

[NOmoreFATchix10]

@83ls my v8 6.6L crew cab dually gets 21 going 70 on the highway. My dad got 22.8mpg in his mega cab 5.7l hemi v8 on his way to wyoming. there was a tail wind

[MPLSTORM]

failed

[Brainiac83]

When they are going to stop puting bodys on a chasis and start making monococks like any other sensible company outside of colonial states then it mught not seperate the body from the chasis on a crash test like this and kill the driver and the dog.Even the Beer might make it.

[2003m36sp]

failed

[Tomcaatt]

Those numbers seem WAY OFF!

[sirhcskoorb]

@83ls How much money are you willing to bet on that?

6.2L GM diesel gets 20city/24hwy

Cummins 4BT averages 25mpg

5.7L small block pickups with low rear gear ratios routinely get 20+(mine gets 22)

And thats just with the crap auto makers with give you!

I built a suburban for a customer with a turbo charged Detroit Diesel 2-71 that gets 48mpg and a pick up with a John Deere 4045H that get 28mpg and will tow 30,000#s

You don't to give up size and power or drive a toy car to save fuel.

[Corysez]

You idiots. Any vehicle you drive will crumple like a tin can, old or new, truck or car, even if a vehicle that was absolutely indestructible existed, the force of the impact would injure or kill you, sure some vehicles absorb it better than others, but stupid people are the main cause of crashes, and we have plenty of them at the moment as i can see.

[douhnutz]

yea...you'd be dead

[shananagans5]

ouch

[outalinecowboy]

@megadaniel25 I agree with the Honda, but I have a V8 Chevy (old school Carburated) Wouldn't get rid of, a 22re Toyota that gets 27 mpg in a reliable 1993 truck pushing on 200 k miles, I have driven Dodges, and if it wasn't for Cummins, Dodge wouldn't build a truck anymore. Ford is just the wildcard in this case, not my Fav, but deff not bad.

[wblsurfer]

@83ls i do and i have a v8 so ya

[rangerover06sc]

Just a thought,but did anybody ever consider that theirs two versions of a gallon.The imperial gallon(american) and the non-american gallon,which is what Canada uses.For example canadain magazines rate the ford expedtion 24 mpg hwy.But US sources will say 18 mpg.Why,becuase the Canadian gallon is bigger then the amircan gallon.In canada v6 mustangs get 44 mpg.In the states it gets 31 mpg

[viper11470]

@83ls the silverados get way better than that ive known of a 4x4 getting 23 and a 2 wheel drive as high as 28 ive got a 5.9 durango 4x4 that will get 25 all day long and i will have it at 30 before i finish ,ive saw a 1 ton 4x4 diesel getting 26 mpg ive saw a show on a chevy tahoe getting 50 mpg! i ve read a article on a 89 mustang that turn a 11 sec 1/4 mile getting 80 mpg!!! you are VERY lost or you just accept that your gas mileage has to be that low

[hondacrxd16a6]

I actually have a friend who has an 05 sierra with the 4.8 v8 and he gets about 22 to 23 on the highway driving lightly. they can get over 20 just not very often.

[huntingandfishing1]

Not good.

[michaelovitch]

POS

[martonium]

but I will also mention that unlike the 97-03 Ford F150, the Silverado's cab doesn't really crumple up.. despite its "marginal" overall rating, no injuries were found on the dummy.. so if you hit another half-ton truck you should still be able to walk away fine, even though your truck is totaled.

[martonium]

I will remind everyone that the "barrier test" only simulates hitting head-on another vehicle of similar weight. So essentially, this is like colliding with another Silverado.. if the other object was a car or smaller vehicle, the Silverado would obviously have the advantage. Also difference in bumper height between two vehicles in a collision, and other factors, etc. can affect the validity of these crash test results.

Bottom line: these results are not always what you would expect

[demoskunk]

Why would anyone want to drive a truck unless they absolutely had to for work? The driving dynamics and interior of a truck are really shitty.

[d500net]

mmmm American quality LOL

[jim151856151]

i get about 18 on a good day

[jaffacake1578]

@83ls erm...no my f-150 truck does 36.1 mpg!

[RemingtonArms]

@83ls

I don't think I've said they did. It was directed towards someone saying that Corvettes and the like get 8mpg. Which isn't the case at all.

And, with diesel, you can get over 20mpg.

[Treyhtown]

@RemingtonArms I have a 99 Trans Am and get 29.5 highway, corvettes get like 32 highway.

Sisters dually gets 25 highway but most autos get around 22

[BusterBunker]

Solid frames have no give at all.

[hondacrxd16a6]

@firebirdcamaro1220 of course it does and it is gutless. i've driven an 02 ram with the 3.7 v6 and it seemed underpowered as well. put any weight in em and dont get goin very good. my expierence with em anyways.

[hondacrxd16a6]

my work truck is a 6cyl silverado the motor in a fullsize truck is a joke. its so freaking slow. 8cyl or bigger in a fullsize truck. luckily its not my personal vehicle. decent solid truck otherwise.

[FirebirdCamaro1220]

@hondacrxd16a6 my daily driver and work vehicle both is a 6cyl Dodge Ram and I think it has plenty of power, but then again, mine is a 6 Speed Manual Trans, the Chevy you drive at work is probably an automatic, right?

[watso64]

@hondacrxd16a6 my dailt driver/work truck is a V6 ext-cab Silverado don't know what GM was thinking putting a V6 engine in s vehicle of this size. Its underpowered and gutless at times{when something is in the bed}but it gets the job done, is better then a 4 banger Ranger I use to have, reliable and gets pretty good MPG{considering its size} I'll probably get the small V8 next time.

[pancakewafflebacon]

lol at least the hood stayed straight

[MPLSTORM]

Dodge did lot better

[hansen71199]

lookin at chevy too!!!!stay with your gay dodge trucks!

[huntingandfishing1]

fail

[hansen71199]

damn i knew chevy was shit but this is pethetic,it shouldnt be called american cars,this is fucking shit

[rudolphna54]

Your an idiot. This isn't that bad compared to plenty of late 90s/early 00 toyota crash tests.

[hansen71199]

who cares im not talkin bout toyota!chevys crash test sucks pretty bad and its cute that your trying to defend chevy but if i were you i would look for a new company

[waterfordjim]

This truck looks bankrupt, just like GM after this accident. Ford trucks have FEWER warranty claims than Chevy. Because Ford builds a better, more dependable product. Chevy can Eat My Acrid, Foul DIARRHEA straight from my Rectum. :-)

[cabritorsss]

@waterfordjim Ooh!!! What an astute, mature and intellectual comment you've posted. I'm sure your Father, if you know who he is, would be proud. You "claim" to be 43 years old...how old are you mentally?

[Pantera4LifeXTX]

no wonder, astro sucks. Get a real Chevy, a Truck or sports car.

[Pantera4LifeXTX]

So true

[broncodrock12]

yea well look at the 95 bronco 5stars bitches

[Pantera4LifeXTX]

Looks good compared to f-150 crash test. Damn doors almost fell off of it. hahahahahahaha!!!

[ShamusOGrady2]

try again sir watch?v=1LkAzt_0qIg

[Pantera4LifeXTX]

I was talking about the f-150 doors almost falling off in the same test.

[dave777blaster]

thats a death trap

[Pantera4LifeXTX]

you think thats a trap look at the f-150 test, now that is a rolling coffin.

[lordcrusade]

Silverado > all

[2007eclipse93]

I just got a 96 silverado for my first truck and I love her! :D hopin' that won't happen :P

[baujahr90er]

sorry i am from germany, so your jetta is 10 times better than a silverado or a nitro i think, sorry i didnt understood it ;) sorry for the bad words :)

[eDGARfROM432]

@baujahr90er Why A Jetta Only Old People Drive Those Cars Cause They Get Like 100 mpg what about a z06 corvette 427 cubic inch engine gets like 8mpg but has over 500 hp thats like 400 more than the jetta.

[RemingtonArms]

C6 Z06's get around 18 city and ~30 MPG on the highway. They're not that consuming.

[eDGARfROM432]

They Do get better than 8 mpg but they dont get that good

[RemingtonArms]

You'd be amazed at what these LS series V8's get with a 6 speed. They're rated at 17/26 by the EPA, And some owners DO get 30MPG on the highway if driven with restraint.

Just because it has a "big" V8, does NOT mean it gets shitty fuel mileage.

[eDGARfROM432]

@RemingtonArms yeah i guess u are right manual tranny get better but auto dont they get a little worse

[drz400e332]

Auto isn't that much worse, 28mpg hwy is easily achievable with the 4l60e (Camaro/TransAm/Vette/GTO)

Where did you get 8mpg from? Some sort of racing application or an engine in need of a new top-end?

[atgskater14]

@RemingtonArms

How can you drive a corvette with restraint. driving a corvette with restraint is like asking a starving man not to eat a plate of food placed right in front of him. it's nearly impossible.

[n9athan]

@eDGARfROM432 i have a close friend who has a c5 with intake and an exhaust and he is getting 31 average

[demoskunk]

@RemingtonArms Yeah, a Z06 gets great mileage considering it's amazing performance. And it has a 7 liter V8! This has a lot to do with the fact that it only weights 3200lbs or so.

[weewoodeal]

@eDGARfROM432 lol where are u pulling these numbers from??? ;)

[jaffacake1578]

im with ya buddy!

[baujahr90er]

haha than go and fuck your shit nitro hahahaha, idiot, such a ugly car, why didnt you bought anything else hahahahahaahha go and fuck yourself hahaha

[smokermoved]

TOYOTA ALL THE WAY~!!!!

[fonzi1938]

ur a fagot

toyota is japanese shit by north american

[smokermoved]

and you are a dumb faggot

toyota shits american

[baujahr90er]

sorry but this crashtest was katastrophicly bad, this is just a big piece of shit, the silverade, and please amis start to make better looking cars, only the corvette, and the new charger and challenger are looking good, maybe some more, but dodge nitro or so, whos gonna buy such a ugly car, its not more expensive to make a better looking car or is it

[Pantera4LifeXTX]

You think this is bad look at the f-150 test. Now thats a piece of shit.

[One3teen]

Another thing, if american cars are so good, how come the best-selling car in america is a Toyota?

[skunk96]

americans like my self are cheap, 2ed we're surrounded by chinks.

[bpack89]

damn should have waited til after this month before you spoke on that one

[xxmetalingusxx]

its not about the quality of a specific make of a truck. it's more about the owner and how the truck is treated and whatever make you prefer.

[myphonyaccount]

There are many crappy American products that were well taken care of that still fell apart. And many Japanese products that were abused and never fell apart. Warranty numbers don't lie, only people in denial lie.

[RemingtonArms]

The same could be said about Toyota with there issues with frame rot, faulty transmissions, and their recent issues with gas pedals, also Mitsubishi's faulty gas lines and issues with crank walk. And the American cars with 600K+ miles on them, and all the pre 80's American cars still on the road. There are great and sucky vehicles from ALL sides.

Don't be biased.

[myphonyaccount]

I'm not biased. Buy American types who insult the competition are.

[MPLSTORM]

Dodge>ford,gm

[myphonyaccount]

Toyota Tundra wipes it's ass on American trucks. American cars can't compete anymore because of people like you in denial who kept buying them when you should have turned your back on them so they would have improved long ago.
