CONSUMER REPORTS CRITIQUES CRASH TESTS
In a new report, “Critical SUVs and Pickup Trucks Safety Concerns,” Consumer Reports discuss “key considerations” for car buyers that are available from various crash test results. The report notes that, “Safety is a key aspect of any vehicle buying decision, but it's not very easy to assess on your own. Some buyers believe they need a large vehicle, such as an SUV or pickup, to protect them in the event of an accident. Other buyers worry about the higher incidents of rollover accidents involving pickup trucks and large truck-based SUVs.” It enumerates “factors to consider when weighing the overall safety of a vehicle…, the various issues you should consider and where to go to find additional information.”
