Mix Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I saw a Ford and a Dodge get into a head on collision. The Dodge had its front destroyed, but the Ford barely had a scratch. How? Also, why is this not in Ford commercials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insipid Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I think it has more to do with crumple zones than Ford actually being hardy. I dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounded right to me, but I just tried to look that up and it said trucks don't usually have crumple zones because they usually sit higher than most cars. They're apparently required to be built with a stronger than normal front end to pass safety inspections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seight Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Most vehicles have a designed crumple zone except somehow and yet of course the Cybertruck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you've probably towed something and/or moved a box of any size during your life 99.8% of people that own trucks do neither of those things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be an old vs young thing I've seen the same results on pornhub as in the newer vehicle has a crumble zone and the other could be an 80's-90's-(00's?) model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discolé monade Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 What’s Really Inside the Gold Ball? The rather uninspiring truth is that there’s nothing hidden inside those gold balls. Well, at least not in the flagpole finials we have on our site. Commonly referred to as “trucks” in military circles, the finial is mounted to flagpoles to keep rainwater out and serve as ornamentation. Balls are the most practical choice for flagpoles, since they won’t catch and tear the flag if it blows up and over the pole, but gold eagle finials can also be used for a more traditional look. Truth be told, we still think the legend has merit. After all, it reinforces the symbolic importance of the American flag and a soldier’s devotion to his or her duty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably more of a physics problem than it is a testimony to either's strength when it comes to vehicles today. Besides if you go back far enough Ford and Dodge had their own Edison Vs. Tesla thing going on...Oh wait Ford does have that whole "BUILT FORD TOUGH" thing lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
