[quote=svelte]I just looked up the SUVs…

2009 Chevrolet Suburban: driver 5 star, passenger 5 star

2009 Ford Expedition: driver 5 star, passenger 5 star

2009 Toyota Tundra: driver 5 star, passenger 4 star[/quote]

um, tundra aren’t suvs..

I just looked at IIHS website. Not sure where the discrepancy is, but seems like both the F-150 and Tundra are rated as Top Picks.

Chevy Silverado is “Good”, but not a top safety pick because of the poor side impact

Also, Dodge Ram 1500 (Good front/Marginal side impact)
