It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

While true on the more likely to roll due to their higher center of gravity, unless they are lowered after purchased, I was surprised to find that at least for the f150, the roof strength is almost 6 times the weight of the truck.

That's according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety which is an independent review organization that gave the f150 one of its highest ratings.

I knew the f150 had a good safety rating but didn't know the roof was that strong. Thanks for sharing.
