Test details:

The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon were introduced in the 2004 model year as replacements for the Chevrolet S-10 and GMC Sonoma. The Isuzu i-series pickup was introduced in the 2006 model year and discontinued after the 2008 model year.

During the crash, intrusion by the tire and wheel into the driver footwell area combined with separation of the footwell from the rocker panel and door sill caused the dummy's left foot to be trapped underneath the brake pedal. The pedal had to be cut off to free the foot. This entrapment resulted in a structure rating downgrade from acceptable to marginal.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Movement of the upper part of the dummy was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible.

Well, since they changed the S10 to the Colorado it seems to be a much safer truck, good work GM!!

I own a 2006 gmc canyon, and oh my god do they suck! It currently has 71,000 miles on it, and in that time the transmission has been replaced twice with brand new factory ones, ive lost the oil pump and headgasket..And its needed a new top end! On top of that its already starting to rust out on me! I dont even have salted roads where I live! Thanks alot gm, im glad you went bankrupt cuz you suck and ill never buy another gm as long as I live!
