(Or for that matter, with any modern truck since I think a regular ICE F150 is still in the 5000 lbs range.)

When I had my F150 I got rear ended at a light by a car. I felt it but wasn't that terrible no injuries for me, damage to my truck was the bumper, it got bent upward a little as the car went into and under. The car, complete write off, entire front end torqued, hood bend like a V higher than the roof of the car and fenders pushed into the doors. I couldn't believe the damage to this car compared to my truck.
