My H2 has a fairly thick stock steel front bumper, earlier this year when traffic stopped faster than I could I ended up hitting the car in front of me at a decent speed. The trunk of the car in front of me was pushed almost into the back seat. I had one corner of that factory steel bumper pushed back about 1/2 inch and zero frame damage.I am not 100% certain steel protects you more. It protects the car more for sure but impact it probably harsher on passengers. I don’t even mention pedestrians!
I remember I had swerved around the car in front of me to avoid her, hitting the side guard rail with both driver side tires. The car in front of the one in front of me ended up getting into the median to avoid hitting the car in front of it. Unfortunately I knew I was going to hit it and rode right through.
Point is I’ve been through one of the hits described and I’ll take the steel bumper everyday of the week.
Granted I also wouldn’t touch a unibody crossover if my life depended on it. Piles of sht.
