The 5th percentile occupant was added to testing protocols during a change in the FMVSS 208 ruling in the early 00's. The 5th percentile female occupant is considered a "high risk" occupant when involved in crashes. (5th percentile is designed to replicate a short-stature female occupant - 5' 110lbs) During that aforementioned FMVSS 208 ruling change, NHTSA set out to have manufacturers to use a form of airbag "suppression" known as an occupant classification system to mitigate injuries during occupant-to-airbag interactions. By placing the 5th percentile occupant in a close seating position, it's designed to ensure that occupant classification system (or even just the basic programming of the SRS ECU) would ensure even a "high risk" occupant would not be severely injured by the SRS system, even if seated close to the dashboard. This ruling change was mandated starting with (I believe) the 2007 model year, but initial rollout (optional phase-in) started with the 2004 model year. When NHTSA updated the NCAP testing for the 2011 model year, they decided to add the 5th percentile occupant as part of rating criteria. (before 2011 for frontal impacts, both front occupants were 50th Percentile occupants - 5' 10" 180lb male) Part of that addition utilized the 5th percentile occupant in the close-seated "high risk" passenger position used in FMVSS 208. Long story short, airbags were dangerous to occupants that were unrestrained or seated in non-ideal positions, and the US Government changed the FMVSS 208 requirement to ensure that SRS systems were less dangerous to those at "high risk".

I have to question the logic behind how the pass side front seat was positioned as far forward as possible. Leg contact was due to unreasonable seat positioning outside the norm. And details like this makes you want to question how testes can at times be misleading in both positive and negative results.

I never understand this - all of these tests I see have the seat jammed as far forward as absolutely possible which is the worst possible way to have it.

@TheTitaniumSkull A large number of people have this question/concern, but NHTSA has the passenger close to the dash to place them in an "at risk" seating position to ensure the occupant classification system and restraints work well to mitigate injuries to those "at risk". In regards to those who say the same about the driver, they don't understand that this is the ideal seating position for a 50th Percentile Male occupant. While people claim that's "too close" to the steering wheel, as someone who falls into that 50th Percentile Male classification, that's right about where I sit in all of my cars.

Virtually no one would sit like that.

Call bs on the searing position. Even my wife that’s 5’4” doesn’t sit that close to the steering wheel.

Nobody ever has to sit that close on the passenger side.

The door shut lines stayed impressively open during impact.

Huh?

on the hood it shows a 6.6 non duramax but under that hood is a 6.0 . what lie or cheating did the government do this time and why?

This is not a diesel truck, the engine bays between the gasoline and diesel are distinctly different. Diesel: www.motortrend.com/reviews/2024-chevrolet-silverado-2500-hd-duramax-first-test/ Test vehicle: nrd-static.nhtsa.dot.gov/photos/vehdb/v10000/v15200/v15299P020.jpg

The footwell intrusion on a full frontal test doesn’t give me warm, fuzzy feelings about its performance during a SORB test. Body on frame vehicles tend to suck at that test anyway, especially ones that way 8000+ lbs

It would certainly flunk an offset

if theres anything GM does well, its usually their trucks.

Looks like a square body after the impact ! Wonder if it still runs n drives ?

Why do the seat belts stretch so much ?

@jimmyaber5920 Күн бұрын

That is how they protect you. The longation reduces max G force. Many late model vehicle use a torsion bar in belt spool to let the belt havea bit more yield. A few use explosive charge and a two force level belt spool and high force does the initial anchoring of belt and once that has twisted a charge blows and the spool has another portion of a turn to let belt out to limit force on human.

@@jimmyaber5920these trucks do have the explosive charges in the seat belt retractors. The boxes they come in have an explosives placard. I work at the plant where these trucks are built, in Flint Michigan.

Man I hate those goofy mirrors! If you were worried the arms caused a blind spot, keep the same mounting location just use the lower bar! There isn’t any interference from my 2016 lower arm to these new ones. Looks dumb sticking out of a body panel
