5. RAM Pickup (1500, 2500, and 3500)
If you’ve thought that only subcompact cars are more likely to get involved in accidents compared to trucks, you’re wrong, and I’ll tell you why in a couple of seconds. Ram trucks, also known as RAM, are an American brand of commercial cars, a division of Stellantis, and, of course, light to mid-weight trucks. They are very popular among US citizens and they look pretty good too.
Here’s where the info can get a bit confusing: while the RAM Pickup is involved in plenty of fatal crashes, not a lot of people have died during these accidents, which makes it the perfect reason for people to invest in this car— and let’s not forget about the fact that no less than 536,980 units were sold in 2018. According to a study, this truck is more likely to get involved in a fatal accident in places like Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, and Alaska, so be extra cautious if you go to any of these states!
Now that we’re at the end of this article, which one of these cars do you think is the most dangerous? Or what are the things that make a vehicle deadly, in your opinion? Cars are part of our daily lives, so it’s important to trust them and be safe, so don’t forget to leave a comment down below and let me know what you think!

I think it is according to the driver.
My husband drives a diesel 2500 Dodge Ram with a crew cab and a shorter bed. He’s had the truck when he purchased it new in 2004, now it has over 500,000+ miles and it is still running strong today. He purchased it to pull our 2700 ft 5th wheel, complete with a 10 ft garage, that can carry a Smart Car in it. We know this because our good friend has driven his Smart Car up into the drive way ramp at the back of our trailer. It can also be a toy hauler and has an extra queen bed that comes down from the ceiling of garage. It can sleep 10.
Need to consider the total of these auto on road to those involved in fatal accidents. This is bad information once again.
It’s not the vehicle (in most cases) that causes the accident it’s driver error
the worst car i every had was a 2002 t-bird . own it for 13 years the last year i own the repairs cost was $12000.00 and it had only 85000 miles on it .trade in value on a mercedes was only $8600.00
I have driven Fords for years and have found them to be reliable and safe.
I enjoyed your article about unsafe vehicles. I do have a 2004 Ford Explorer, that I bought new in May of that year. I believe that way too many unnecessary vehicle deaths are caused because of government regulations.
CAFE standards are way too strict for car manufactures to make a safe vehicle. I don’t have a safe feeling driving a vehicle made out of plastic,aluminum, & rubber just for better gas mileage. Unreasonable restrictions on the weight and gas mileage for vehicles do not add up for manufacturing safe vehicles. As they say, “You Can’t Your Cake and Eat It Too”
