Crash Test 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 IIHS (Impolite)

[Shishizurui]

I think you want to Dodge it instead of Ram it buddy.

[DizzyMan24]

People have to remember, this was 11 years ago. The rams now, are the safest out there, besides the F-150.

[MrImacarfan]

.... and people wanna wonder why gm failed and honda rocks. this is why.

[TaurusSHO97]

@MrImacarfan You fail

[MrImacarfan]

@TaurusSHO97 ..i fail? i only drive ford and honda, and above is why lol

[headshooter44]

FAIL look ad his head just disappearing into the door XD

[Antrocker08]

everyone says it the the ideal truck for a crash but what idiot would try to get into an accident

[kingcobra1545]

to all the people who dont know they dont have an engine in the truck that is why it got so fucked up

[moparenthuz]

@kingcobra1545 you are an idiot

[suprakilzz26]

That's why i drive german cars...

[mmmmhonda]

@suprakilzz26 cool story bro!

[suprakilzz26]

@mmmmhonda Wow! Thanks man!

[Ragref]

@suprakilzz26 cool story bro

[suprakilzz26]

@Ragref really dude!?!?! You had nothing better to say, than to tell me csb... What a shmuck..

[Ragref]

@suprakilzz26 cool story bro

[metaltera86]

@suprakilzz26 cool story bro, needs more france.

[happyturtle18]

@suprakilzz26 /watch?v=TPpU5azjCB8

you wont stick to german cars after seeing this one.....

[suprakilzz26]

@happyturtle18 HOLY SHIT!!! Hahah, i mean id never drive one of those, all countries make some pretty awful cars! I love euro tho, mostly german.. I know it's not german but "volvo" there voted as one of the safest cars on the road...

[NathansBackwoods]

did just as bad as an f150, and that silverado extended cab crash test.

[bpurdy305]

I like how the box rear ends the truck. There is a reason why the government had to bail these guys out. I doubt fiat will make these guys better, might make em a bit cheaper though.

[moparenthuz]

@bpurdy305 The reason that they were bailed out is because they didn't sell enough vehicles to make enough money. Fiat has already turned things around from the idiots before they are doing a great job.

[eddasapr]

this crash test is in 64 Km/h?

[64oldsf85man]

@halocop159 the f150 did just as bad or worst

[halocop159]

this is why i am a ford guy, dodge sucks balls

[bloggedit]

I test drove a truck like this but a few years older... I see they couldn't think of better designs, no wounder I didn't buy one.

[impossible]

damn..chassis and body started to separate..doesn't look like the ideal vehicle to get into a crash in :/

[Toni7859]

These are all older models... the 2007 Chevy, 2004 F150 and 2005 Ram 1500s are all excellent performers now.

[Challenger1030]

look at the 2001 chevy silverado crash test. its just as bad. and the ford is even worse!

[Tcatracing]

all i'm going to say is that you can't judge the new dodge products by ones a decade old, there are new designers, newengineers and new people on every new car

[healingduck]

@Tcatracing Exactly. I'm not sure about the new dodges, but the new f150's are built like tanks compared to that horrible 2001 model.

[MrAngryGorilla2000]

American vehicles are very unsafe, but the new new ones are improving i heard.

[Coltrainsd]

@MrAngryGorilla2000 You're forgetting that its a truck, and it weighs 2.5 metric tons. So when your stupid ass blows a red light and I t-bone your p.o.s Honda, you're still going to die...

[MrAngryGorilla2000]

@Coltrainsd Oh okay.. :)

[dukecr125]

R.I.P

[Antrocker08]

how fast was the truck going in this test oh a 99 dodge ram quad cab I want to know what will happen If my truck hit something hard for safety

[teddydgameboysp]

@stntmn7964 thats why im a ford guy

[bunning63]

@teddydgameboysp Then you better check the F150 test, followed by the Tundra..., because then you will buy one.

[wtp173]

chevy sucks

[markssite]

why do i like seeing "new" cars wreck and distort and twist and smash and crumble and shatter.......

[sSTRE3TDR3EMZz94]

at least dodges dont look like a box or a preus with a truck bed. and dodges have power and sound badass.. pluss this dodge didnt do any better then the others in the suggestions

[crispiegee1]

@Motorchevytoyota I was shocked that the Toyota did as well as it did. It definitely held up the best in this type of crash test.

[coffeeandsugar20]

What does Impolite mean? Was the dummy of the truck not a nice person?

[jado2000]

Mmmmm.....it reminds me Korean cars in early 2000's........

[geterdonein01]

It may crumple like a tin can against a wall, but i would still never want to be ran into by one of these monsters.

[camden199]

chevy and dodge did the best

[MADDOG6400]

But will it blend?

[RM250D8rzr]

the dodge did wayyy better then the ford

[FicoBezKocnicaBL]

The transmisson went out right before impact.

[adiaz529]

There was way more damage to the dodge than to the silverado

[Xavier456C]

Dodge Rams sell well because they tend to overpower their competitors, and all trucks have similar frontal crash test ratings. Also, the front left tire looked a little flat, but maybe that was just me.

[daveescape01]

I love dodge, but what a piece of shit when it REALLY matters.

[drcheese42]

Moral of the story. Don't RAM a RAM.

[xxxpaintbal]

the sad part is the engine would still run perfectly

[marcvie9]

yeah the airbag blinds you for what is comming next

[john3luzny]

keep in mind dodge did this restyle in 94...looks a hell of alot better than anything else from that year

[andy123441]

@john3luzny i think the Chevy Silverado did better.

[AgentMrX7]

wow that airbag was a little late

[turfwerks1]

I don't care what you drive, if you go fast enough with anything it will crush like a beer can.

[slyhitman214]

The silverado is the only truck I would own of this generation. It's all around better IMO.

[PAEtruckdriver]

Stoned 206 since that ain't gonna happen best get rid of the car for a pick up huh hahahaha

[Int3rvent1on]

what does "impolite" mean?

[stonee206]

I think pickups and SUVs needs to be softer, so that the road is safer for normal cars

[mrjustin5]

This is another reason why dodge is one of the worst selling trucks in america. Dodge doesn't do anything right, not that GM or any other company is any better. I hate car companies.

[dal3fan88]

@mrjustin5 hey it's alot better than the 2001 Ford F-150's crash test.

[marcvie9]

@dal3fan88 its not better, he broke his neck look at the vid

[kthebay]

@mrjustin5 Correct me if im wrong but isen't Dodge Ram like...the most popular pickup together with the F150?

[DRTMaverick]

@mrjustin5 Have you bothered looking at the Ford F150 crash test from 2001? Makes this dodge look safe.

For the record, my pathfinder has a higher safety rating than both american trucks.

[eimb1999]

@mrjustin5 : You ate car companies? Good. Then don't drive. It'll mean one less idiot on the road that I need to worry about causing an accident for the rest of us. Stupid fool.

[sacr3]

@mrjustin5 lol right, look at the same year Ford F-150, then start spitting your mouth out. Oh, and look at the 2009 Dodge Ram test, fuckin thing was perfect, windshield even survived for christ sake. BTW, You try and come up with a way of protecting a person when 4000lbs of metal around them comes to a dead stop, You can only do so much. Another thing, the only time this will happen is if the Truck hits a solid wall, or an oncoming Truck, aside from that this won't happen.

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@mrjustin5 you're so stupid my friend, dodge is actually safer than the other car brands

[Sniff34]

@mrjustin5 Then walk.

[HyperSTAND]

@mrjustin5 YO mama!

[weedmastersr]

@mrjustin5 You're GAY !

[MrTrip3ace]

@mrjustin5 Your retarded this is in 2001 they didnt have that many safety requirements back then. The new ram is very safe. And the ram averages to sell around 170,000 trucks a year so it is a great selling vehicle.

[sddragon28]

if you hate car company's so much then make your own car and liberate the masses with your low cost, great looking, really fast, easy to drive, god car. oh whats that? you don't have any money to do so? neither do the car company's.

[jwmckin08]

At this point in time, most full sized pickups weren't engineered to do well in this test. The F150, which is America's best seller, done worse than any other full sized truck did in this test at this time. All pickups have been redesigned since then and now do good in this test.

[USSWISCONSIN64]

@mrjustin5 we hit ice on the way home and our Dodge ram flipped and it didn't do that bad of damage.

[Kamofy]

@mrjustin5 The F150 is the best selling truck and yet it's rating is poor as well...

[Suiax]

@mrjustin5 This is 10 years old... The newer models preform alot better... Even the next year model from this is better...

[hggf25]

@Suiax the 2012 dodge ram would have gotten a good

[moparenthuz]

@mrjustin5 haha you guys are all dumb have you seen other crash video this is know worse than any other truck the f150 actually did worst.

[wgshooter]

all the trucks from these years did poorly

[corius737]

perfectly good.....perfectly goood....... perfeeeccctly...... WRECK!!!!!!

[MrHotrodder101]

bolth the ram and f-150 are garbage..

[Firetao117]

@MrHotrodder101 only for those years models if u look from 2002 and up there both very good the iihs rated them good. the rateing goes from good to modrate to poor

[stntmn7964]

@MrHotrodder101 thats why im a chevy guy

[Toni7859]

@stntmn7964 - the Chevy truck in the same test of this same year did no better in this test. 

[Minnie2009100]

@stntmn7964 eat this then "chevy guy" overall? MARGINAL.

/watch?v=Yi7guKanjUs&feature=r­elated

[fashionforwardguy]

@stntmn7964  Look at the Chevy Silverado of the same year..... thats why I'm a Mercedes guy.

[cornfed123567]

@fashionforwardguy so you would rather get run over?

[mpc1209]

@CrashJSTest :/ either way I wouldn't buy any of them :P

[schecter5]

damn, domestic vehicles aint safe, check out the ponitac montana crash test, then watch the Toyota minivan crash test

[JrSAR101]

That would be one hell of an extracation!

[TheTrihorn1]

@SKARdaBASShead956 Shutup asshole

[MileyGagaBoy]

teryujkyiu7y4hhtwgyh

[KoHsTaHTiH1]

Говна кусок

[11254cdk]

@SKARdaBASShead956 Okay so you say your 7 and im 11 but i want to ask you a question: are you fucking talking about the fucking dodge rams saying the're some of the worst fucking built trucks? Why?

[tundralover]

@11254cdk if you dont understand why the dodge ram are some of the worst built trucks try looking at the video above this comment that will answer your question then look at the f150 of this year that is the worst so look at the bright side the ram is only the 2nd worst

[chapyhappy]

look at the 2001 ford f-150...after watching the ford,the dodge looks comfortable hitting a wall

[911SHIZBO]

@SKARdaBASShead956 wtf are you? like 4?

[Vicious713]

the difference between this and the 2009 ram is astonishing. Good job, Dodge O.o

[camaroman101]

remember, this object has nearly no give like crashing into a steel i beam or something. crashing into a car/truck would leave you less damaged.

[Jsoto1115]

@camaroman101 actually the stuff thye crash into has similiar give to a normal car. if you didnt see the small box crumpled in.

[atgskater14]

@Jsoto1115

behind that small box is a solid wall. from what i've seen of this truck crashing into say a kia or toyota the dodge won.

[alexogg55]

dont cars have roll cages or somtin cuz i dont think this one has one

[kirkhammet2010]

the front wheels are already in the drivers ass by the time the airbag deplyoys

[alexogg55]

@kirkhammet2010 jajaja thats a good way to say it

[Masch3rano]

@SKARdaBASShead956 08 and up rams are some of the best trucks though.

[11254cdk]

@Masch3rano you are right, my friend. they are also nice.

[TheRunescapernerd]

its went 40mph

[evinrudeboy6601]

Look how much was all ready gone by the time the airbag deployed

[DamnStraightM35A2]

these trucks aren't safe for shit

[evinrudeboy6601]

If you say this is bad look at the same year ford f -150

[FollowMyDamnedLaws]

@evinrudeboy6601 Go re-watch the video... you don't have much room to call anything unsafe if you think that's a "safe" vehicle.

[mpc1209]

@evinrudeboy6601 I'd say this is on par if no only slightly better :/

[PunchingMegaTree]

@evinrudeboy6601 Look at the Chevy LOL.

[TheCottonTop]

@evinrudeboy6601 I doent matter what the truck looks like. It's how the dummie turns out.

Dodge sucks or should I say Fiat.

[tylemire360]

@evinrudeboy6601 /watch?v=6Wb66PzljP8

[HyperSTAND]

@evinrudeboy6601 actually dude this is the same body from 1994 dodge ram, however 1992–1997 F150 is tougher than this one.The f150 2001 using a 4 door cab 2 large size and 2 small it cannot compete with 2 door truck with more support

[gibsonguitar11]

....dont drive too fast?
