-
Hits: 4856

I make no bones about it. I am a Dodge man. However, these test results may make me reconsider my preference the next time I purchase a truck.

There were two body styles were evaluated by IIHS - Crew cab pickups and extended cab pickups. Each were evaluated and scored accordingly. See the video and chart below:
