(KSL News) -- Head restraints in several sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks did a poor job in recent highway tests.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safey tested seat-head restraints in 44 current model SUVs and 15 pickups to see how well they protected passengers in simulated 20-mile-per-hour rear-end crashes.

Only six SUVs received an overall "good" rating. None of the pickup trucks earned top scores.
