The way I feel about it is that if you’re in anything more than a moderate crash in these trucks you’re going to get hurt and probably badly hurt. Even in a moderate crash with your full body weight going against the shoulder belt you’re probably going to deform the B pillar. But that’s still better than your chest or your face meeting the steering wheel, windshield or metal dash. And I wouldn’t feel comfortable nowadays without a shoulder belt anyway.
