Ford Upgrading Crashworthiness of 2016 F-150 - Truckinginfo
The 2016 Ford F-150 will offer increased driver crash protection from the 2015 model, after the extended-cab model didn't earn the top safety rating in an insurance industry crash test, a spokesman told Automotive Fleet . Ford has added... Ford's 2015 F-150 crew cab model was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while the extended cab model was rated as good by the group in crash testing. The crew cab model is by far Ford's highest-volume F-150 with 83 percent of sales through seven months of 2015. Ford is still evaluating how to bolster occupant protection for the 2016 extended cab and regular cab models, Levine said. "It's not as easy as taking what we do for the SuperCrew and applying it to the SuperCab and regular cab," Levine said. Source: www.truckinginfo.com
