A front rail configured to be supported by a vehicle frame includes a tubular body formed by a roll-formed high-strength metal and configured to undergo axial loading during a front vehicle impact. The high-strength metal defines a cross-section shape along the length of the tubular body. The tubular body includes at least one crash tuning feature located on the tubular body. The tubular body is configured to undergo axial loading during a frontal vehicle impact and under said impact, the tubular body is configured to deform at the at least one crash tuning features.
