2015 Ford F-150: First Crash-Test Ratings For Aluminum-Bodied Truck
The 2015 Ford F-150 makes some great leaps ahead, with its aluminum-intensive, aerospace-styled construction, fuel-efficient turbocharged engines, and tech-loaded cabin.
But the safety of this aluminum-bodied F-150 has been an open question—until now, with the release of full crash-test ratings from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
In tests conducted in February but finalized and posted this week, the 2015 F-150 has achieved top five-star ratings in the Frontal Crash and Side Crash categories of the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). It’s earned five stars in all the subcategories of those, including the Side Pole test, which simulates a 20-mph crash hitting a narrow object like a tree or utility pole.
