a right side rail extending longitudinally in the front portion of the vehicle on a right side of the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle; a right rail tip having a plurality of flat walls defining a hollow polygonal body disposed about a right tip axis, the right rail tip having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the right rail tip being fixedly coupled to a forward terminal end of the right side rail, the proximal end of the right rail tip being disposed inboard of an outer right quarter of the total width of the vehicle, the right rail tip extending outboard and forward from the proximal end to the distal end of the right rail tip, the distal end of the right rail tip being disposed within the outer right quarter of the total width of the vehicle, each of the flat walls of the right rail tip having a forward wall thickness at the distal end of the right rail tip and a rearward wall thickness at the proximal end of the right rail tip, the forward wall thickness of the flat walls of the right rail tip being less than the rearward wall thickness of the flat walls of the right rail tip; and a tension member fixedly coupled to the distal ends of the left and right rail tips (230, 250) and spanning laterally therebetween. a left side rail extending longitudinally in a front portion of the vehicle on a left side of a central longitudinal axis of the vehicle;
