35 MPH FRONTAL 2001 FORD WINSTAR M1021201041801 MGA RESEARCH CORP.

My friend got hit in one and it flipped over.

What happened to that tire on the back?

Why did the horn go off when the ATS, CTS And the XTS Got side pole crash tested??

As a ford focus driver I am scared lol

Thought it was going so well... till I saw the steering wheel and dashboard hits.

Dang! That looks brutal! Thank goodness I don't have one of those... Oh wait.

Good bye drivers right hand

This is a very rare super camper special. You can see the rear axle is further back and there is a spare tire compartment in the side in front of the right side tire hump. With dual tanks it had as I remembered about 55 gallons of capacity.

In what way the infant is safe ? It's moving in rapid pace. And also front crash test is not shown.

And that would have been fatal in unibody cars

5 star protection

I owned 5 different Beetles over a period of 7 years. It was well understood that a Beetle driver had to drive defensively. Full sized American cars weighed almost 3 times more than the VW. Still, they were rugged little buggers, cheap to own and repair, and reliable transportation. Even today, I still like them for their cute simplicity.

holy CRAP i was not expecting this tin can (my first car 86 Aries wagon) to do this well!!

Saddest 16 minutes ive seen on the Internet today 😢

Is the bed for sale?

This test was after they removed the running boards

Look closely at drivers seat belt and looks like the upper latch was not attached

Love these old trucks, I have a 79 f250 4x4 I have tucked in my garage protecting it from salt. Back then you drove a truck it felt like a truck not like today those old girls were built to work. They are too fancy and drive too much like a caddy. Even the owners of a different breed. Trucks live on the road and never carry more than a briefcase or gym bag. Only thing better these days is power my ford 400 is good for 130hp .

My Dad bought a 76 Silverado, with the 454 CI mill under the hood. Powerful and it rode BETTER than a Cadillac ! Smooth ride! I should have bought it from him when he sold it, but I had just bought a new car.

Back in the days before airbags and really smart safety design, you had to be a safe driver. I had a tiny car back in the 80s and I shiver to think of what would have happened if I'd ever gotten in an accident in that car. I only ever hit another car at like 3mph in that thing. Which did no damage at all. I drove that car for 4 years.

I know this video is really old but it’s still making the rounds. As the owner of a square body Suburban I find this interesting. The new trucks are certainly much safer, and it does cause me a little concern when my wife is riding with me in the square body because I know there are no air bags. But it’s the truck I enjoy driving and you can’t live life scared of what might happen. I’m not sure if the 6” of lift, 37s, tubular steel bumper ans Warn winch will help or hurt in a crash? 😂 Enjoy your square bodies. They are cool trucks.

Nooooooooo!!!!!

The f250 probably still runs

I actually owned one of these things, if we hadn’t had this specific car, we all would have brutally died from going under a tow truck. Insane durability

Let’s see; the good grill with the round headlights, a corporate 10 bolt front, a 14 bolt rear, an SM465 stick shift, an NP205 transfer case & a 350 small block. Better than any truck built in the last 30 years.

Reminds me of my 86 ¾ ton full size 4x4. Gave me 280000 miles til it rusted apart. Damn I miss that rig.

Wow, I like Ford transit van nice inpatient

I personally believe that GM designs and builds vehicles with good intentions. But they sometimes make me believe they are just going with the flow. They have problems like every one else but it takes a few years of research and development to work all of the bugs in new designs out. For example, the new truck's with the mechanical tailgate problem of getting wet and damaging the latch or.

Show us an impaler broadside a gm truck with a fuel tank outboard of the frame rails,it's the same aerated fuel mixture ignites. For that matter any vehicle with an unprotected fuel tank that doesn't do the same. I just like the gm example cause they proved it in court😂

I was driving an old Chevy and a lady with a Chrysler 300 hit me. It put one heck of a dent in my bad and fender but I actually drove away from the wreck looking like a winded animal. Her front end was totalled.

I'm shadow banned

I'm shadow banned

It's safe or not?

As someone who had both a 1977 F250 crewcab and a 1977 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton in the family back then I’d never considered this but as a passenger I think I’d have wanted my head to slam into the top of GMC dash compared to the Ford dashboard.

😢

k20, trailer special with a 4spd. damn shame

Square-bodies forever! These overpriced trucks today can't beat this!

Surprised Ford didn't get into trouble over the Pinto gas tanks in 1971 when these tests were done.

As much as i like this test, if it were an offset crash, it probably wouldn't do so well

They sure do become unsavable easily. Sad cheap construction

That thing looks rusty just sitting there. Typical Chevy

I just turned 50yrs old. My father purchased then NEW 79 K30 srw Scottsdale from now defunct Jack Maxton Chevy in Worthington OH. In May the following month we were side swiped by a tractor trailer while pulling our then new 21' Regal boat . That truck saved our lives. The impact shoved us into another vehicle traveling in the lane next to us,(think it was a Ford station wagon)blew out all their windows. The semi jack knifed into a ditch,and our truck had only minor damage. We drove it home. They don't make stuff rugged anymore, because we (have to be worried about too much impact forces 😢) I hate modern vehicles..crap compared with what we used to make.

Never seen footage of NTSB testing used vehicles.

The hoods always bent in that same spot when the hinges got stiff

Eww I Hate This Tiguan

I saw the one with the ford f250. The ford did slightly better. Almost no frame damage.

Now we have the actual proof for the hood design on 73 to 80 square body gm trucks. VGG is correct about the hood saver device. GM purposely designed and engineered the crumple zones into the hoods. Because of the design of the hood being as flat as they are. It would be pushed straight back into the cab if not for the bending and folding up motion.
