I never understood why F150 was the biggest selling vehicle for so long. I see it as a bad idea to drive one; nevermind that its a Ford.

take a look at the list of "fatalities per million cars sold". The F150 is top of the list! Factor in the inability to avoid accidents, the high CG encouraging roll-over, the ridiculous crumpling, i'm amazed they are allowed to sell them!

I don't feel like searching right now, but I have also read that head-on collisions are the least-likely by far. Single-car is even more likely than multi-car.
