    I'm looking at a new truck...

    Specifically a 2003 F450, 6.0L diesel, standard cab and chassis, dually, long wheel base, 4x4, a/t/c etc... So what are the safety ratings on this unit (450 is the same cab design as 250 and 350)? and any other opinions on this particular model would be appreciated.

    Spin off: " I would want to get hit in the head with that!" thread : dangerous goods

    More specifically: compressed gases used for welding. What are the crazy things you've seen with them? And if you do transport them, what do you feel is the safest way? I've seen them sticking out the trunks of cars with the valve end out :eek: . If the end came of that would be a very high...

    Silverstar headlights

    I just purchased myself a set for my F150, and really like them. Does anyone else have them and what are your opinions? I know they're not as nice to meet on the highway, but it's nice to be able to see things a lot brighter.

    Shouldn't School Bus Seats be RF?

    So anyways, with all this talk about RF and extended RF because it is so much safer, I got to thinking, shouldn't school bus seats be RF? Up here in Saskatchewan, the only seat with a seat belt on the bus is the drivers, so everyone else is unrestrained. With most impacts being front end, it...

    I saw my first Britax today!

    Ok, that sounds bad for how long I've been on this board. But anyways while I was stuck in traffic today, the old station wagon next to me had a RF Britax, which I assumed to be a Marathon, in the backseat. And from what I could see, everything looked right. The straps were tight, the angle...

    ergh

    Today driving around the city it seemed like every time I looked to the side or in the rearview mirrror there were improperly restrained kids. I saw the good old shoulder belt behind the belt, the 2 inches of hair visible above the dashboard, etc. I just wanted to get out of my truck, rap on...

    Making a 9 year old ride in a booster

    I chauffer a 9 year old now and then, and am trying to think of the best way to convince him to ride in a booster seat. His parents don't have him ride in one, which doesn't help my case. I don't want to pull the "my car, my rules" if I don't have to. What are the best points to use to...

    Age limit for boosters

    On all the government pages here in Saskatchewan the talk for booster seats is always by age (recomended until age 8), but on this forum or product web pages the limits are by height and weight. What age is to old for a booster seat? Is a 12 or 13 year old safer in a booster if they are still...

    Standard cab 1/2 ton

    Hey, I'm currently driving a 95 ford F150 with a standard cab (no back seat), which has only a drivers air bag. How safe is it for kids under 12 to ride in the center and passenger position? My understanding of that restriction on the front seat is mostly air bags. Is their a great safety...
