The Tundra owner should also take notice of the blatant way Toyota copies the Ford Trucks/SUV's! Just look at the Tundra and the Sequoia. The original T100 trucks are some of the biggest piles of crap on the road. Guess if you can't be the leader than you better copy and ride their coat tails!

Don't ignore evidence. You will be severly hurt if you crash a F150
If you don't care about yourself, think of your family's safety. Do you really want to put them in a vehicle that fails in this manner?

There are so many better trucks out there. It is a shame that Ford does not care about their customers safety. Congratulations to all of the Tundra owners out there!

Stop whining Qdawgz
I think it's also important to note that in the test, all of the other trucks were supercabs, while the F-150 was a single bench. That could have a major effect on how the vehicle would react in a high-speed off-set crash test.
IIHS and ConsumerReports, as much as I value their opinions, seem to go a lot easier on foreign products in terms of, well, everything than their American-built counterparts.
I think that until IIHS irons out the obvious descrepancies between the tested trucks, we won't be able to know who has bragging rights after a collision, and who's laying limp under the steering wheel.

My $.03...
I have been reading about this, the past several months...
Each accident is different... No 2, will ever be alike.
I happen to Love my F-150, very much. It is the Best Ford Truck I've owned.
For all the Tundra and GM Owner's; thanks for your inputs... Do us a favor tho'; do not come over on a FORD owner's website, and then DOG US OUT, because we've purchased a FORD.
By the Way, my Insurance company gave me a discount, this past month. USAA Insurance gave me a $1.61 discount every 6 months, for my F-150. It is for, "An above average Safety Record" on the F-150 SuperCab. This discount comes from documented, Real World accidents, involving the F-150 Supercab.

Did anybody look at the supporting groups of the iihs?

I don't see Ford or Dodge on there...
I do see GM...
While I can't find Toyota anywhere on there, maybe some one can relate Toyota to one of the insurance companies because I know toyota's financial services are huge investors in insurance companies...
