A load impact management system for a vehicle includes a plurality of cross-vehicle support members extending from a first side of the vehicle to a second side of the vehicle opposite the first side of the vehicle, a shock tower spaced apart from the plurality of cross-vehicle support members and fixed to the vehicle frame rail, a first structural member extending along a first plane, a second structural member extending along a second plane separate from the first plane, and a third structural member extending along a third plane separate from the first and second planes. The first structural member defines a first load path between the center tunnel and the shock tower, the second structural member defines a second load path between the center tunnel and the shock tower, and the third structural member defines a third load path between the center tunnel and the vehicle frame rail.
