i'd like to see a truck get broadsided by a car height sled vs truck height.

Yeah I was thinking that too... I'm sure they'd be much better... but then again... when they're testing it's probably better to go with a truck... as it'd inflict more damage than a car so when gearing safety... better to over shoot it I guess...

And what happens when they hit a little car with the truck sled?
