I would never put my family in one of those multi cab death traps or a older car.[/QUOTE]

Absolutely, an accident waiting to happen!

 

This is how a lot of people think, in fact it doesn't matter how much metal you have around you in a accident in a modern car.

Todays cars have safety components like air bags and retractable seat belts. The cars have crash zones and areas that are meant to crumble. They are tested by a company called AMCAP for this before sold and this is why you should buy a car that has a 5 star AMCAP rating.

I small Hyundai will be just as safe in a crash than a Raptor and in some cases better. Cars with full chassis can cause you more harm in a big accident due to the stiffness.

This Ford Pickup has to be about the ugliest car I have ever seen, perhaps designed in the form of a Sherman tank? to dress it up it requires a gun turret on the top, if that is your desired car take a look at a Hilux that will still be going long after that Fecking Ford has died, why would you ever need a big gas guzzling pickup especially when it can never get into top gear on PH roads, many rural roads and side streets in PH are quite narrow, when you are faced with a tricycle coming in the opposite direction the drivers just don't give a sh*t, they really don't care all that much to preserve their own vehicle? Better you spend some time driving a more practical car in PH and only then decide if a 4x4 is suitable? LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.
