The front seats of a pickup truck are the safest place to be in a collision.
According to a new crash test designed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, four out of five compact pickup trucks in the study earned substandard ratings.
Only the 2022-2023 Nissan Frontier, got an “acceptable” rating.
A high risk of head and chest injuries was the main problem.
The 2022-2023 Jeep Gladiator, 2022-2023 Toyota Tacoma, and 2022 Chevrolet Colorado all earned “poor” ratings, while the 2022-2023 Ford Ranger received a score of “marginal,” the second-lowest safety rating.
The trucks used in the study were crew cab models, which have full-sized back seats.
