Ford aluminum body pickup gets mixed results in crash test - whnt.com

Both versions were subjected to the new small overlap front crash test. The larger Ford F-150 SuperCrew version of the truck has additional structures that helped protect the passenger compartment during the test. “Consumers who wondered whether the aluminum-body F-150 would be as crash-worthy as its steel-body predecessor can consider the question answered,” said David Zuby, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety chief researcher, in a statement. The Insurance Institute was originally going to test only the larger SuperCrew truck because that’s the most popular version of the truck. After learning of the structural differences from other versions of the truck, though, the Institute decided to test the smaller version as well. In the future, the Institute will test more than one version of large pickups like the F-150, the Institute said. When this crash test was introduced in 2012, the new F-150 was already far into development, Ford spokesman Mike Levine said. Engineers weren’t able to design the extra front-end protective measures quickly enough for all versions, he said, so a decision was made to add them first to the four-door SuperCrew truck, which accounts for a large majority of F-150 sales.

Ford F-150 pickup gets mixed results in crash tests - Press Examiner

The test is important because the F-150 is the nation’s best selling vehicle and Ford took a huge gamble by switching from steel to aluminum in its construction in a bid to save fuel of the metal’s lighter weight. The SuperCab – or extended cab – accounts for about 12 percent of sales and the regular cab 5 percent. In total, the necessary repairs were 26-percent greater for the 2015 truck, based on work conducted at a Ford dealership certified to perform the repairs. “After we tested the crew cab in the spring, questions were raised about the extended cab’s ability to match the crew cab’s good small overlap performance”. “As most know early on controversy swirled around cost and complexity of repairing the new aluminum alloy-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 compared to its steel-bodied predecessor”. This is all because the American automaker added structural elements to the crew cab’s front frame to earn a good small overlap rating but didn’t do the same for the extended cab model. Nair said the Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker is the first to outfit its full-sized pickups with the safety structure to withstand the small overlap test. Source: www.pressexaminer.com
