Don't look at this if you drive a Ford F150

The lines on the top car look wrong for a Ford. Can anyone who knows trucks comment ??

Reading the comments on Imgur you are correct. Apparently a Toyota Tundra:

Let’s be good consumers of information here

My research shows Safe Laboratories is an engineering firm specializing in forensic testing for product liability. That doesn’t mean they are bad guys but it means they have goals in mind that aren’t just scientific.

There is one interesting thing I caught watching this. The nasty car doesn’t get lifted when the ram hits, while the Volvo does. This dissipates a huge amount of the ram energy vs having to absorb it in the roof struture

This could be a function of roof structural integrity or ot could be a simple , subtle difference in the angle of force application. This sort of testing is hard to do , scientifically.

That minimal structural windshield header isn’t much, but more-so it detaches from the A-puller almost instantly. That just seems like really poor design. That area is critical to rollover protection as well.

I thought maybe it was held down, but I don’t see any attachments at the slab. It IS braced up against that blue wall, and is tipped down forward, which is going to hold it down on impact. So yeah, is it apples to apples?

But that header should never detach like that.

Here we don’t see that header or A-pillar joint fail. It cracks the windshield, so there is movement per design. The poor passenger’s hand takes out the rear view mirror.
