My 2000 F-150 Supercab was involved in a minor rearender.Both seatbelts failed to restrain occupants ,and to add insult to injury, the passengers side airbag deployed several seconds AFTER the passengers face (mine !) bounced off the dash and I was wiping the blood off my lip ! CHECK YOUR SEATBELTS! Anyone else have issues ? The drivers side bag deployed properly. I have an after market brush guard on it which was slightly damaged.

 

Just by watching the crash tests of those older F150s, I dont know If I would trust any of its safety equipment.

sweet jesus time for an internal cage

 

I'm sure the 97-03 supercrew fares better. Can't seem to find any footage of one though.

 

It's the same front end on the Supercrew.

 

Hello Captain obvious...

They have a different cabin.

 

So you can hit your face on a metal bar instead of plastic dash

 

yes sir! no i was thinking so the freaking back of the cab doesnt kiss my head into the steering column.

 

that really makes me want a newer truck..

 

Yea that video doesn't look to good for us.

 

oh geez, I wish i hadn't seen that

The newer frames are way tougher.The older frames are weak above the rear axle where the frame is reduced in height.I prefer the body lines of earlier ones, though.

 

So...you are saying that you have an after market brush guard installed? (This is what I understood from your post.) If so, than do you suspect the brush guard to cause the delay in the deployment of the bag?

 

not pretty by any means but that does make me feel 1000000000x better about owning an 05 f150!
