would you say 2500's are safer than 1500's?
refer to title please
even without having stability control, side air bags and all the un needed junk? i know they get 5 star crash tests and 4 star roll over wich is good enough for me! |
:humm: i would say yes especially if ya got a big ol cummins sittin in front of ya
|
me too, plenty of weight to keep you on the ground (6k atleast, tht 04 is bout 6700!)
|
Lets Ask Busta.. :w2:
|
lol glad i had the big ol cummins in front of me
I don`t think a 1500 would have taken the beating my old 99 did and let me survive |
I would say as the wife of a 7 time rollover survivor....the 2500 is the BOMB and saved a life!!! don't think a 1500 would've saved him.
|
lets say vs a honda ridgeline that has the special safty stuff? crumple like a can? i think so!
|
i would say they are.. they are a bigger than the 1500's
|
yeah, as far as a vehicle vs. vehicle collision, the extra weight of the heavier frame and much heavier drivetrain will usually be in your favor. The heavier, thicker frame should hold up to quite a bit more abuse before it buckles a few times.
I'll give you my little S10 as an example, I broadsided a 1/2 ton chevy truck at about 60mph (she pulled out right in front of me); buckled my driver's frame rail in 4 spots and the passenger side frame rail in 2 or 3, don't remember. Broke her cab mounts loose and just barely bent her frame. I got owned and should be very dead. Now I drive hefty things with Cumminses! Plus, the 2500 frames being heavier and a bit higher helps, too! |
the 2500 would be safer than the 1500 becasue of the size. now if your refering to being safer towing bigger laods it would still be the 2500
