I read he was talking about the mass, and not acceleration. As you say it doesn't really matter if the object is accelerating, but the speed at impact and the mass.
But, you are right, the CT does have many peers in the mass category. Not all trucks are that high a mass though. I suspect it's in the top 10% in mass.
