[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeeps aren't the most stable but I'll take them in a crash over most cars - they are built on a very solid frame.  Someone rearended us on the highway - their car was totaled.  Our Jeep was fine except for small scratch on tow hook.  Just don't drive them like a sports car.  And they are awesome in snow, rough terrain, high water :)[/quote]

Same experience pretty much.

Got rear ended at maybe 10 mph by a X5 BMW and my trailer hitch ball went through his front bumper and broke his radiator and transmission cooler and air conditioner coil, the radiator fans and also ruined the bumper itself and his headlights and fog lights. When we “separated” the vehicles from being stuck together by the hitch, I pulled forward to get unstuck, and the entire front grill and bumper and headlights all got pulled off the car. The whole front of the car was removed. Probably totaled the car.

Our Jeep had a scuff on the trailer hitch ball. We feel a hard jolt/thump, and that was about it. A little stiff the next couple days but then fine afterwards.

High speed rear end crashes are much more uncommon than low speed ones. You’re more likely to get rear ended at lower speeds. And in that case, I’d prefer to be a vehicle that won’t sustain huge amounts of damage to its crumple zones and potentially be totaled, from range sustained “protecting” me in a low speed crash that isn’t going to hurt me much anyway. Losing a vehicle that’s totaled hurts, too. I’d rather have a stiff neck and a sore back that will be fine in a few days than have to buy a new vehicle that I’ll be paying on for years. [/quote]
