2006 Ford F-250 Vs. 2002 Ford Focus NHTSA Full Frontal Impact

[RespectMyPiracy]

This is dumb as hell. The Focus is driving much faster than the pickup and the pickup weigh 3 times more than the Focus at least. The chance of such a crash occurring like this are so small. Maybe I will post a video of me crashing a bus driving at 10MPH into an F-250 driving at 40MPH then we can all laugh at the fucked F-250?

[Brothersjo]

This gave me a boner :/

[dave4love78]

 I say the Roads need bigger trucks to clean off the Roads of all the Idiots!

[dave4love78]

Banned? Never, People that drive little piss on car's need to slow down and stop driving like idiots! I drive a Ford F-250 and when they tail gate me I hit the Brakes and they go under my truck and let me tell you this; their car is always totaled! Have respect on the Road, or just stay off it! Everyone is in a rush to Die! I have Never hit another car in my driving history, and why? Because I drive Normal and I have respect for people and I don’t tail gate people!

[modeyus1984]

Damn now I can imagine if my lifted f250 hit a small car at that speed. It would prob smash it down like a can. With those of you saying these trucks need to be banned need to understand why they exist. They do the workload that small cars can't. I don't see how a compact car is going to pull a 10,000 pound trailer. It would actually be more dangerous on the road than a truck would. This just teaches us how to be safe.

[halflife103]

thats what happens when you buy a cheap compact car. It's your fault....

[SteinGermany1939]

I could hear the truck go... bitch please

[egeesey72]

Now I know why I drive a f-250 and not a little car

[wootness3000]

That's fucking awful. This is why we should get rid of this kind of truck.

[BoberMcBoberson]

@wootness3000 Um why not just make cars stronger? Sorry dude but we need trucks, Yes a lot of people have them that don't need them, but they are still very much needed in this world.

[LXnastynotch93]

@wootness3000 That has the small possibility to be bad, BAN IT! What about UPS trucks, 18 wheelers, box vans, short bed trucks, dump trucks, etc.? Should we ban those too?

[wootness3000]

@LXnastynotch93 The small possibility? Don't you see how many compact cars are on the road today? And I think there should be something done about those vehicles too, redesign, not ban. We need to get rid of THIS kind of truck for a properly redesigned one.

[LXnastynotch93]

@wootness3000 You can't make an F250 smaller or lighter than it is, because then it becomes an F150, and an F150 becomes a Ranger. The Superduty F250 and F350 are as large as they are because they need to be to tow and haul their respective payloads. If you decrease the GVW (gross vehicle weight) it means less towing. Sorry, but the only way to solve this problem is to make compact cars more safe, and to be more cautious when driving.

[wootness3000]

@LXnastynotch93 Or to redesign the front-end to be more energy absorbing. Duh.

[LXnastynotch93]

@wootness3000 The general idea behind that is to engineer crumple zones that absorb energy in non crucial areas of the vehicle. For instance, a lot of compact vehicles have motors which are designed to absorb the impact energy, and drop under the firewall. The other aspect of increasing safety is to design a rigid frame that transfers energy around the cabin. However, all of this drives up the cost of the vehicle, which would make the car like the Focus much more expensive.

[Seahorsefan]

Wait...did the front of the truck actually touch the ROOF of the car?

Did I see this right?

[V8Nissanpickup]

This is why you should drive a truck!

[soyntgo4it]

This is another reason why the bumpers need to be lowered on trucks/suvs..

[natescamp]

[pumkin8710887112]

i really dont feel safe in my focus anymore

[Toni7859]

focus passengers could have been killed, but I say if the engine was hot, the car would have exploded into flames because of leaking gas.

[Toni7859]

oh my 

[superdutytruck]

And that's why I don't like cars.

[kamaster1011]

@superdutytruck its a small car why not drive a full sized car beside small ones?

[superdutytruck]

@kamaster1011 I got rear ended by a lexus a few months ago when I was driving my f-250 superduty he was going about 50 and I was completely stopped. My bumper got bent but the lexus got totally wrecked, His engine was gone, and I got to drive home. : )

[kamaster1011]

@superdutytruck lol i guess the f250 superduty stopped him right in his tracks. XD

[chamblizi]

them cars ant worth shit but them trucks kick some got damn ass lol

[Taldoable]

ASthe truck came through the window, it was kind of a "Greetings from Dearborn" moment...

[computerbed]

hahahaha, at :40 the F250 just comes in through the window "Hey guys i'm a truck nice to meet you."

[foxracing279]

Thats why I drive a lifted v10 f250 :D

[dkhill27]

Makes me feel good that I own a lifted ford with 35s on it. Damm I hope I never or anyone hits me head on with a small car like that. Damm the focus was tore up from the floor up. The fords hood went all the way to the roof line of the windshield of the focus!! Wow!!

[bmwjohn]

f250 was still drivable

[chamblizi]

technically if cars where built with metal then you wouldn't need to complain about our metal/fiberglass trucks cars get us from the under the prioblem with car is there to low to the ground which is why our tires crush our windows

[manisdrillingcompany]

well drive the f-250 home take the focus to the scrap yard or give it to davidsfarm

[shsmustangs]

ehh a lil duct tape should fix the f250, but not to sure about the focus...might need some gorrilla glue for that

[chamblizi]

@shsmustangs xD

[chamblizi]

@shsmustangs hahahahaha

[blackdeath727]

that was wow that shit was crazy lol

[boogahbooger]

OWNED

[kamaster1011]

he can still drive the f250 away from the crash. lol

[MercuryMorrison1]

I like how the truck bounced completely off the ground. Feel sorry to Focus driver. This is one of the many reason's I have a truck.

[Konraden]

@MercuryMorrison1 If everyone drove cars, you would't have to buy a truck to feel safe.

[MercuryMorrison1]

@Konraden But can you tow with a focus? can you haul a load with a focus? Or any car for that matter. Most people who own trucks need them to some degree myself included. Alot of people would even lose their jobs if they did not own a truck. A truck is just as much a necessity for some people as a car is.
