WTF should I buy (A consolidated list of bad decisions)

[WRXtranceformed]

 Barring a tractor trailer or other similarly large truck that will destroy anything they hit, most vehicles that hit the front or rear of your F150 or my Canyon are going to lose that battle.

Sorry, that's bullshit.  Large body on frame vehicles are not very good in accidents.

Except it says in the video that the Ford earned a top safety pick.  And pretty much every truck with the mid collision earned a good rating.  The small overlap was mostly a fail across the board but if you look at the actual cabins across all of them, you're not seeing the buckling and cabin crunching like you do in a lot of small sedans.

My neighbor's cousin was just in a 50mph head on collision (old guy came over a ridge, she didn't see him...they think he had a stroke or something) in a brand new Camry which you would assume is really safe.  She barely survived, she broke bones in both legs as the cabin collapsed and crushed her and completely destroyed her face.  Her jaw was in like 20 pieces and she just now got out of the hospital several months later.  I'd take my chances with a broken ankle or leg in a truck versus my entire torso.  But I'm also not a crash safety expert so I could be full of shit

Here are the GMC Canyon current crash ratings by the way, all "Good" across the board. I'm guessing they won't get a top safety pick only because their stock headlights are absolute trash:
