Please go up a couple posts to my previous one and click the link. You will see that F150 was the highest deaths per million of any vehicle, and the best were the midsized cars like accords, jettas, etc. That page breaks up the occupant deaths vs. occupant of other car deaths and the F150 had particularly high numbers in both.
