Silverado, Sierra Do Poorly in Crash Tests
From Associated Press
The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra had the worst crash-test ratings for 2005 pickups, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
In rollover tests, the Ford Ranger and the Mazda B-Series fared worst among pickups with four-wheel drive, receiving two out of five stars. In passenger-side frontal crash tests, NHTSA gave the Silverado and Sierra three out of five stars.
The two-door versions of the Dodge Dakota and Toyota Tacoma received five stars for all seat positions in frontal and side crash tests. The Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram 1500 received top scores in frontal crash tests.
