Chevy Silverado din ang gusto ko, eh. Hehehe. For no apparent reason lang. Brand preference siguro.

Saka mas mukhang pang-promdi ang Silverado.

Silverado! Mukha kang ranchero or haciendero eh. Looks of you own hectares of farm land. Magsasaka lang po!!

What about handling ng dalawang ito sa off-roading, doon sa parang daraitan river and High Peak?

sa off-road IMO may edge ang F-150, it has higher approach angle, and higher ground clearance.

arb,

about aftermarket gaya ng shocks and suspension available ba?

**ARB** · June 19th, 2003 04:52 PM

yes there are available, sa shocks naka kabit na kami ng bilstein sa F-150. and im sure may available din na bilstein para sa silverado. Rancho has shocks also for both, as well as trailmaster. these are the shocks that i know are available locally. pero if you order sa labas marami pa avail.

sa lift kit there are lots of them, but i dont know if somebody sells locally. but we ordered one time a lift kit na Rancho for the silverado mga 4" or 3" suspension lift yata i forgot na it was almost 2 years na, and the silverado looked great. it had 16x 10 rims with dunlop mudtires. total cost was in the area of 100k plus install.

come to think of it, may pagka-sablay din yung Silverado sa crash testing hehe

i suggest you post the official NHTSA site para malaman talaga kung alin ang pinaka-safe na sasakyan. f150 is the best selling vehicle in the world for so may years because of its safety and everything the customers wanted in a truck. it's the best selling truck in the world for more than 26 years....and counting and ford is selling 800,000++ f150's every year.

go to this site and you will know which truck is the safefest:

Think: Vandolph and his F150... If you looked at the pics of the F150 in question, you could notice that the steering column did not collapse as well.

Based on my experience with a Suburban and Expedition, I prefer the GMC Trucks over the Ford Trucks... However, if i were to buy a truck/SUV, i'm still biased towards the Japs (better quality/feel, parts availability, practicality, and resale value).

kahit anong brand ng sasakyan ang ginamit ni vandolph sigurado ako na talagang ganon ang manyayari sa kanya. both f150 and the delivery truck FULL OF CEMENT were running fast and they collided head to head. kung tsikot lang sinakyan ni vandolph sigurado ako nasa cementeryo na sya noon pa. good for him he drove an f150 at that time.

explorer,

the IIHS and NHTSA tests are very different in nature and so should not be taken to be the same (you can't say that the NHTSA test is more indicative than the IIHS one and vice-versa). the IIHS test is an offset frontal barrier test, while the NHTSA test is a full frontal barrier test.

the IIHS test is more difficult for the vehicles because only half the frontal area of the vehicle impacts the barrier. on the other hand, the NHTSA test is easier to pass because the force is spread over a larger area (the entire frontal area of the vehicle), the structural integrity of the vehicle is thus a greater factor in the IIHS test than in the NHTSA test.

as far as i know, the NHTSA test is a federal requirement before vehicles may be put on sale on the market. on the other hand, the IIHS test is organized by insurance companies and is not a federal requirement, however, the test itself is very valid and applicable to real-world crash safety (not all frontal crashes are full frontal ones). so, because passing the NHTSA test is generally a given already, it makes more sense to scrutinize the IIHS results.

btw, i think the left half of the nose of vandolph's F-150 ran into a delivery truck that was stopped by the road... this simulates the IIHS test where the stopped truck is effectively a static barrier...
