3 STAR & Unrated Crash Score!

[Stlrfan152]

Modern crash test ratings are light years a head of old cars, so 3 stars is good enough for me.

Quite literally never looked at nor gave a flying fuck about crash ratings.

I've heard Volvos are basically bubble wrap on wheels, may be worth checking those out.

nope.

The thing about crash test ratings is that they are under very specific circumstances. So, hit from this angle, this speed, this amount of force, etc. and none of this is secret to the manufacturer. Because of that, results could potentially be manipulated. Remember VW engineering computer to recognize when the engine was being run under the circumstances used to get mileage ratings in order to improve mileage scoring?
A high rating is still typically better than a low one, but take some of this with a grain of salt. If you want a better real world review, look for other independent sources like Consumer Reports or whatever.
With all of that said, if your Bronco is lifted, it is already going to be at a disadvantage for crash safety. However, I would say that with the number of airbags and other safety equipment built into modern cars, they are WAYYYY better than similar vehicles built over 10 years ago, so rest easy.

Consumer Reports isn’t really independent. They purposefully killed off the Samurai.

I have never looked at safety ratings when buying a vehicle. I think the only time I would ever consider it; is if it was for my partners vehicle. Cause we all know how women drive And if I was considering two vehicles and can't decide which. the safety rating may decide the final verdict.

I'm here for a good time not a long time.

I believe in the same philosophy
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

As a Bronco Reservation holder for two years now, I wonder if anyone else is concern about the crash safety of Bronco! I mean Bronco is a cool car with lots of off-road capabilities but would it be safe enough to have your family in it when there’s no proper rating on it!
Just wondering your thoughts…

Our Bronco Bitch-Slapped a Nissan Versa! Hope this helps.

Look at some of the accidents that have been posted on here.

Bad crash tests ratings will probably mean higher insurance premiums

The wife and I own like 7 motorcycles between the two of us.

I also own a jeep that has not had the roof or doors on in years.

We do track days, rock crawl, and other dangerous activities.

Life is about living the best you can and a little danger just comes with the fun.

So, no one cares about the crash ratings in my household.

Most days I ride a motorcycle. So do my kids. And my grandson.
Wonder how those rate?

Can promptly be filed under no one cares. Maybe a Volvo might be more warranted? Boxy, but safe.

Funny story from my sales career with 3M mostly calling on body shops. I was in a shop on a normal sales call and noticed a Volvo wagon with a severely damaged roof and no other signs of impact on the doors, fenders, or quarters. I asked the body tech what happened as it was unlike any vehicle damage I had seen. Turns out it was jumper from the 5th floor of a hotel that was trying to end it all and he landed on the roof of the Volvo and survived with minor injuries. Bad or good luck depending on your perspective.
