good points...
Update 2: Ford has redesigned the F150 for 2004 with an notable advances with regards to safety. In fact the IIHS had named the new F150 a "Best Pick" in the large truck category. Now granted this doesn't change the fact that Ford designed and released the previous generation of F150s knowing there were safety concerns. Further it doesn't change any of the statistics showing larger vehicles cause more havoc on the roads. But it does show that Ford clearly understood the issues with the previous generation and worked hard to alleviate them.

March 5th, 2005 05:01 PM #14on vandolp's f150 issue....imagine nyo nalang kung ibang sasakyan gamit ni vandolp nun naaksidente sila versus the truck full of cement, both running at high speed at head on collision pa!....blame the f150 for making vandolp still alive (...to make him continue doing all his stup!dity)
again, f150 is the best selling pickup (..and automobile) every year for more than 27 years already. more than 800,000 units are sold every year for more than 10 years already..the americans must be id!ots if they continue buying a pickup which they think inferior to other vehicles when it comes to safety.Last edited by explorer; March 5th, 2005 at 05:08 PM.

Toyota Avalon - 60 deaths (least deaths, but is that the safest?)
Ford F-Series - 238 deaths (most number of deaths, but is that the unsafest?)
let's see....there's no number of accidents per model recorded, so we have no choice but use the number of units sold per model:
toyota avalon - 30,000 units sold per year (my best guess, but i would beat it can hardly reach that figure)
ford f150 - 800,000 units sold per year
given the above data:
toyota avalon - 60 deaths / 30,000 units sold = 0.002 or 0.2%
ford f150 - 238 deaths / 800,000 units sold = 0.0002975 or 0.02975%
...so the ford f150 is 10 times safer (0.02975% vs. 0.2%) than the toyota avalon (which has the least number of deaths) if computed based on the number of units used (sold) assuming all the units sold have accidents and those presented deaths are true.Last edited by explorer; March 5th, 2005 at 06:13 PM.
