The incident I saw appeared to occur at or near the same speed as your little crash test.

Thanks for all your replies. Last night i filled out the loan papers for the Nissan. The Colorado was going for the same retail price as the Tacoma. I couldn't believe it.
If everything goes well i should have the truck by next weekend.

Looks just like this one minus the roof rack...

It had to be the fastest small pickup i have ever drove. Test driving it last night i was cruising at about 25 and punched it. The wheels spun a bit and it took the ---- off. The engine sounds incredibly smooth also.
