There are no crumple zones in a truck really.. You have straight frame rails. I guess the cast iron engine block gets a little crumply if you hit it hard enough..

Any space becomes a crumple zone - rails are great at that, but it is still something. Though as I said - I have never seen a study of relative safety.
