Vitals is a valid target for crushing attacks and a targeted attack can get the penalty down to -1, and if you miss the vitals by 1 you still get a torso hit so there's basically no downside to going for the vitals beyond the opportunity cost of striking somewhere else (head or groin as you mention).

You don't get the x3 wounding modifier like you would for any other attack type, but you do get the same knockdown rolls.
