Ford’s entire range of 2015 F-150 pickup trucks has earned a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Following Ford’s announcement last week that the SuperCrew version of the 2015 F-150 had earned a five-star overall rating, the NHTSA has now given its top rating to SuperCab and Regular Cab versions of the popular pickup. All models tested earned a five-star rating in both frontal and side impact crashes, as well as a four-star rating in rollover resistance.

Billed as the safest F-150 ever, Ford engineers created 31 safety-related innovations specifically for the new version of the company’s best-selling pickup truck. Some of those innovations included new structures, materials and joining methods.
Ford also credits the F-150′s new aluminum body structure and high-strength steel frame for the truck’s stellar crash ratings.
The 2015 F-150 has yet to face the more rigorous crash testing of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
