4:06 “but they are tough in the real world.”
You know “the real world”. Not that fake one filled with “fixed barriers”.
Like trees, signs, polls, fences, jersey barriers, guard rails, buildings, and rocks...
Like the one in George Parker's head? 😂
and the thing that the moderate overlap is based on, CARS
It’s actually incredible because I have a 2004 Ford F-150 and the front and rear fender is pretty solid to survive a fender a bender. However I was in an accident (not as bad as the one I was in in January when my old truck was totaled) where a guy cut me off at 55mph and I swerved to try to avoid him and I ended up going onto the center divider and hit and took out 2 street signs. The fender ended up getting crushed, so while it’s sturdy to survive a fender bender it’s still able to crumple when something hits it at a high speed. Thankfully the fender didn’t get crushed enough to hit the radiator, I was able to still drive it home.
George Parker makes my brain hurt listening to his drivel. Yes George, let's not make cars safer. That's smart.
Better than today’s unibodys.
If you go off-road you need off-road bumpers etc. I backed into a pole with my plow truck wasn't going no more than 3mph and it dented the bumper and pushed in the fender. Now with my off-road truck. I can smack a boulder and all it will do is scratch the paint. Amazing what just a different bumper will do
The damage shouldn't have been added up, it's not like you are going to bump your car 4 times in these exact tests.
Exactly
Like are they expecting suv drivers to end up in a 3-car pileup?
They add all 4 up and then divide that by 4, so they get the average cost
@@parkergray5346 What you said - it was an average, not every test added up to sum total
I’d be one of those who won’t even bother to fix it. You’ll see me driving with the back still dented 🤷♂️
My pickup with rear metal bumper was rear ended by a drunk ladies focus. Completely damaged her whole front end including hood. Mine did not have a scratch. We should go back to metal bumpers.
LSanti yeah, same happened with the family S10 blazer. we hit a Nissan sedan and it only damaged the plastic corner on the front of the Blazer but the Nissan had a big vertical crease right behind the passenger door.
LSanti bumpers have always been and continue to be metal. the cover isn't and that is for pedestrian safety.
This is why rubber bumpers are the best, hit something with one of those and it just goes _Doink!_
My 2003 porsche cayenne s was rear ended by a Toyota echo (yaris/vitz) and it was completely mangled and had a one way ticket to the scrapyard. The Porsche’s rear bumper was popped out slightly.
Same here my dads nissan got hit in the left side of the bumper
By a honda pilot and fell off.
Any car can pass the government's 2 miles an hour rule.
I was with my friend when he rear ended an Isuzu Rodeo going 5 miles an hour. Fat lotta luck he has!
My Co-Worker had an old Opel Frontera 4x4. Drove it for decades until it fell apart so bad. The dash consisted of just the speedometer near the end.
I think we should support the insurance industry and doing these tests it clearly shows that the manufacturers of these four by fours for off-road vehicles do not give a fuck about our safety and we should give a fuck about buying their off-roaders.
please post more dateline!!!
There is only rules about how SUVs to be safe in a crash test
Except SUVs aren't really that safe due to their body-on-frame design and high center of gravity. For real safety, buy a unibody minivan like the 1998-2003 Toyota Sienna, which was the best perforner ever, or the 2004-2010 Toyota Sienna and 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey, both of which have death rates of zero for most years.
Ok
Modern SUV bumper covers are plastic, which reduces weight.
This is just sad, although most modern cars have similar problems. Modern cars all have tiny integrated bumpers for style, personally I think the old bumpers that stuck out more looked better, and the certainly performed better. Some one rear ended my Grandpa's 1985 Volvo Wagon at about 10-15 MPH, it lurched us forward, but that big rubber bumper just bounced off the other car. Cars should be designed to withstand 10 MPH impacts with no damage and above that worry about crumple zones. The sad thing is that weak bumpers isn't even about crumple zone, just poor vehicle design.
Did you get my post about the suv ad i imagined?
3:00 Ford Taurus 1996
And that’s why the spare tire doesn’t belong on the back.
The fuel tank doesn’t belong behind the rear axle either.
Why is George Parker have so much H8 on the IIHS? He has a segment in just about all of them that’s negative against them.
I love my 1998 Ford Explorer !
Same here,i just have a 1997 Explorer.
Yvonne Reilly Explorer gang 😈
Woo yea go exploder!!
Riley Smith you stole that from a video
Louise McMahan Well, I want to destroy my Range Rover because it is an endless money pit compared to an Explorer.
No Suburban/Yukon test? I had a F150 slide into me at about 30mph. Decimated the truck's front end; I drove away with a dented bumper and a small crease in the rear quarter.
Teh Agent no because they are too expensive
Even better question: Why was the Range Rover not tested?
what was the yellow car that bumped into the pole?
Hyundai Scoupe
I'm thinking of buying a Blazer, but change of plans
Why..
IS THIS ON APRIL FOOLS
Where’s everyone saying “back when they had real bumpers” spit ping
What would you think if they made a car ad from the 90’s showing a family driving along in their suv and it shows a mother and older teen daughter up front and they are eating fast food and there are little sibs in the backseat and then later a mother makes an impulsive move and later there is a crash and an airbag pops in slow motion on the mother and then later it shows them at the end hugging their little ones?
There was a court case on the Ford Bronco flipping when someone breaked to avoid a deer. Ford tried pulling baloney saying it was off roady vehicle. But the petitioner had a brochure with a family on city roads. So Ford lost the battle.
tow hook is attached to the frame or steel structure behind the bumper.
The rear window on the Isuzu quit its job, first try.
The window had one job
Well at least I have the Jeep. Granted it is really good off road so maybe I'm okay with this.
Wild Outdoor Living But now a fuel tank issue when you get rear ended is putting you in danger. It has caused fires.
They realize metal bumpers could knock trees, down offroading. Than plastic.
Yesterday a Ford f250 rear ended a prius, but the prius was toast but the Ford was fine.
Adin W the prius deserves it tho
I'm sorry I unsubscribed. I resubscribed so I can show u I like your videos.
And it was the SUVs always crashing into you in parking lots, because the drivers don't look when backing out
Funny they forgot the 1995 nissan pathfinder
I drive a 1995 isuzu rodeo 😂😭
pretty funny how these reporters are so in favor of cars i want to see the look on their faces when they get hit in there civics by an suburban or Yukon (real suv's) then well see whose laughing
Daaaammmn
on the isuzu you notice it dosent. hit the bumper
iiAdonutii true they only hit the spare tire
Where was the 4runner ? 😂😂😂
It is at 3:21
Where is the Range Rover?
@@rileysmith9843 3:18
Gabriel Millien That’s a Discovery, not a Range Rover.
Lol I had a 98 blazer with the chrome bumper accidently hit the mcdonalds post :P and it dented, found out it was fake chrome, just plastic with chrome paint :/
What do you expect, they're all like that.
The explorer had problems with the tires.
Riley Smith Nah. It was the fated suspension and the car being too thin while being too tall.
Angel Gutierrez They corrected the problems for 2002, and added a TPMS system in 2006.
Angel Gutierrez How they were corrected? They widened it a little and lowered it a little, mainly for comfort so they can add a third row, and added AdvanceTrac Roll Stability Control to the Explorer. In 2006 they added tire pressure monitoring.
Do you like Hummers?
NOPE! They're huge gas guzzlers and unreliable! A carbon tax of at least US$200,000 (not wimpy Canadian or Australian dollars) during purchase should be imposed on every vehicle that gets less than 80 passenger-miles per gallon when fully loaded and all light duty vehicles that get less than 20 mpg overall.
that's why you don't buy forgien cars chevy the best ford is the rest
slobodians back yeah ok😂
If a single person had to be the defining example of the word, "despicable", it'd be George Parker.
it's what brush guards are for
i bought a truck with a brush guard and it collapsed and dinged both fenders, doing more damage than if it wasn't there at all. what you need is real bumpers.
hugeslacker yeea, I saw the same thing on the road. There was a woman driver that had a minor accident with her SUV and the brush guard didn't really help.
2:33 and that's why I don't drive Isuzu ( maybe I'm under aged )
I call bullshit on some of these test's. My 96 Explorer got rear-ended at 50mph and there was hardly any damage.
That wouldn't have been a 50mph impact unless you got hit by feathers.
Yeah no, I refuse to believe your car was anything less than totalled after that 50 mph accident. Gonna have to call bs lol
@@JohnSmith-mk5jt oh they totaled it for sure, but visually hardly any damage. Smashed rear bumper and rear liftgate but that was it. Roof and quarters where good
Jeep Wrangler's have a steel bumper
So did the 4Runner and Blazer, yet they still did poorly in this test.
Damn glad I did not buy a Honda/Isuzu Rodeo
the bumpers on new cars now are just as bad as suv's were 15 years ago.
SteelCity1981 yeah yeah yeah not as bad as that Isuzu
This test proves that just because an SUV has steel bumpers, doesn't mean its bumpers are going to do well in a 5 mph collision. The Ford Explorer and Toyota 4Runner both had steel bumpers, and they both did worse than the Chevy Blazer which had with plastic bumpers.
And at the time, Ford was at a battle with firestone over tires and SUV rollovers. Ultimately, many people thought both companies shared responsibility.
Or we could just watch were we are going and not hit things and if you wanna hit things get an after market bumper
If only the SUV craze never happened, we'd all be driving affordable, awesome, even fuel efficient, mid-engined sports cars ala the MR2..
Douchebags had to ruin everything.
douchebags? it's a preference on what people like to drive man. my brother in law owns a new Audi a4 and its an amazing car. on the other hand, I own a 1997 jeep grand Cherokee, and I like it a lot. I would probably drive the Audi over the jeep, but that doesn't mean that people who drive jeeps are douchebags. they're completely different cars
+Farts McGee lol what? what if you have to carry stuff. You try fitting 4 friends in an mr2 and going on a snowboarding trip... or moving lumber, or moving period. anything. suvs are popular because they carry stuff, and people have stuff. they've become more and more efficient, but you try moving 4 to 5000lbs around town and see how much energy you require.
"what if you have to carry stuff." ironically SUVs killed the sportier, more comfortable, more fuel efficient, safer, and just as accommodating wagon and stationwagon formats.hugeslacker
+Farts McGee Oh no they didn't. There's the jetta wagon passat wagon, volvo v50, v70, xc70, bmw and Benz wagons, magnum, audi a4 avant, etc... They don't sell very well because most people don't want one, but if you think about it, there's quite a selection of wagons out there regardless. My 99 Cherokee sport is classified by the dmv as a wagon lol
Oh yeah and all the different Subaru wagons too. If anything, the wagon market has been thriving.
Well I know Ford. And the ford Explorer has to be my Fav SUV. But..... The for torus and others Ford cars following have Plastic Front Bumbers and rear. and the most of the SUVs at that time Did not and most today to have Chrome Metal bumbers. So more damage becuase it is nt bending and bending back to place. Of course a few times yeah the"ll be damage but.. I won't Cost you much at all. SOOO Thay need to add these Plastic bumpers to the SUVS and Color them... Saves money and Lives.
Finally a Ford Explorer fan!
Some SUVs have switched to unibody construction. And now new SUVs have body color bumpers, like my 2007 Tahoe.
george parker drives 5 mph on the highway.
He has to
