IIHS crash-tested a 9,500 lbs F-150

The goal was to test their lab equipment to see if it can handle a new Hummer EV. It did fine.

More educating is to watch what happens with the concrete cargo in the F-150 junker...

Truckers out there, be safe!

Reminds me of hauling a bunch of coolers down to Lethbridge in the company van for work. Turned out they were filled with glass jars of sampling acid

If I'd have know I'd have ran a strap around them to hold the lids shut just in case  :D
