Thoughts on how safe our trucks are

[toolboxchev]

Not very safe in my opinion. Mine was clobbered in the rear at about 30 while I was at a dead stop.

I could hear the tires scream for a brief second. My Big Ass bumper is bent, the frame is bent ( not to bad 3/4 of an inch ). Tailgate got mushed inside, exhaust all loosened up, front end out of alignment, shocks toast. And I have not had it to the body shop yet!

His vehicle was totaled, it was bleeding green from the class 5 hitch, that is most likely saving me from further damage. I am very grateful for that rear work bumper. Had it been a chrome fancy pants one I would have been in much worse shape.
