What are the Safest Heavy-Duty Trucks of 2007?

Answer:
Heavy-duty trucks are among the largest and

most powerful vehicles available to consumers. Current models include the Chevrolet Silverado HD, Ford F-Series Super Duty, and Dodge Ram 3500.

The Ford and Chevrolet trucks receive the highest crash test rating, five stars, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The Dodge receives four stars. It is important to note that NHTSA testing simulates collision with a vehicle of similar weight. Heavy-duty trucks weigh more than twice as much as the average passenger car, so they are tested against a very high standard. In the real world, these massive trucks are probably even safer than indicated by cash tests.
