FJ Crash Scores
 

IIHS.org FJ Cruiser Crash Scores

Well, the FJ pretty much aced the front and side tests, but was only marginal in the rear (which is common). So let's see how many kids end up in these now...

I tried to make this as clear as possible. I couldn't copy the tables unfortunately.

However, it's interesting to compare the injury measures between the IIHS and NHTSA. The FJ has significantly higher injury measures in the NHTSA:

H3 WITHOUT SAB:
Frontal Crash

Head Injury Criterion Chest Deceleration (g's) Femur Load l/r1 (lbs)
1not used in calculating frontal star rating


Side Crash

Head Injury Criterion2 (HIC) Thoracic Trauma Index (TTI) Pelvis Deceleration2 (g's)
2not used in calculating side star rating

Toyota FJ Cruiser WITHOUT SAB:

Are higher numbers better (safer)? Either way, the H3 and FJ both got the same overall safety rating .... 5 stars for everything except passenger frontal collision (4 stars).

I noticed the H3 got slightly higher SSF (static stability factor) than the FJ (1.12 vs 1.10), which is good.

I saw that the Fj was far more likely to injure wimpy wana bee's in front and side wrecks.:OWNED: KY cruizers suck HUMMERS Rule

Re: FJ Crash Scores
 

Lower numbers are better for all of those measurements I think.
