Hi All,
 my son was going to buy one of these untill he found out about this
 from his insurance company.
Ford F-150 scored worst in pickup crash test.

The Ford F-150 scored worst in the insurance industry's first high 
speed crash test of big pickups. During the 40 miles per hour crashes,
the F-150 air bags failed to deploy at the appropriate time resulting
in the high risk of head and neck injuries and the poor rating which
the vehicle received."There was total structural failure. The occupant
compartment collapsed. The air bag was late in firing, "says Brian
O'Neill, head of the Insurance Institute for Highway safety, which did 
the testing. But then all pickup trucks and a lot of vans do not have 
to conform to the same safety standards as cars.
