A vehicle frame assembly includes, among other things, a main rail of a vehicle and a truss assembly. The truss assembly includes a forward mounting member directly coupled to the main rail, a rear mounting member, a frame assembly connected to the forward mounting member and the rear mounting member, and an attachment that directly couples the rear mounting member to the main rail. The attachment is configured to shear when a load that exceeds a threshold load is applied to a front of the vehicle. The shearing of the attachment permits the rear mounting member to slide relative to the main rail.
