Look closely at the passenger compartments, that is the important part.
Modern design calls for the front to crumple, so a smashed in front is normal, what you are looking for is an unaffected passenger compartment, and the Dodge looks MUCH better!
Of course that is most likely a 6,000lbs Dodge, what does an H2 weigh? That may be a factor, as the heavier truck has some advantage.
In any case, look at the windshield, and door area of the H2 and you will see that knee damage, and other injuries may have occured, the Dodge looks like the door, windshield, roof, etc all stayed in place, just like it is supposed to. I thought the 2nd generation trucks were supposed to have bad crash ratings? This looks good to me!
