Does the Superduty even need a new hood?
Looks to me that the passenger inertia is the same in the truck, without having an engine in your lap.
Thanks, but I will take my truck over a Focus any day.

When both vehicles hit the Focus does deaccelerate more(travel more). So much more that your face is now planted in the F250s bumper and the engine was already rammed through your body. I'll stick with my F350.

I was surprised to see how much the doors of the F-250 flexed outward from the impact. They did go back in but there sure was alot of movement going on there.

Yeah, you're right. The hood did bend a bit.

For the occasional GE diesel, I believe...
