I've been to more accident scenes than probably 90 % of the people responding to this thread . Became a LEO in the early 80s when there were still a lot of 60 to 70s cars on the road. By my retirement I was almost amazed how many more people survived severe crashes. Requarding crumple zones these trucks have non to absorb the impact . I drive mine almost every day but I know if I get hit by a new truck or car my chances are much less than other drivers. But I also ride too.

Site to calculate impact FORCE in an accident . I did a slow speed impact
