At what speed was the test conducted? How do Chevy and dodge compare? With the screw being the top dog in safety apparently, is it real that big of a deal if something is not as safe as it? How do the last generations of trucks do in this test? It seems like the super crew is just incredibly safe from a forward collision. Making a truck that isn't that safe seem dangerous. It's also a 100% guarantee that this was made out to be a much bigger problem than it is. I'd like to know what everybody crying about safety in this thread drives, and whether or not it has "wheel protectors"
But then again why didn't ford just use the same "protectors" on the other models? I find it funny how today a crew cab 4x4 is the most common model, where as in the 70's it was the rarest model by far. Ok, maybe the 4x4 f350 models are rarer, but they are close. |

Fairly high death rates actually in a lot of cases I guess that's tangential to the point but I'm curious to know your source anyway. I'm looking at IIHS data and it does not show this. For 2013, deaths per million registered vehicles 1 to 3 years old: Cars -> 58 DPM Trucks -> 52 DPM SUVs -> 26 DPM That's a fairly solid statistic since it measure the performance of late model vehicles. |

The CrewCab models have the highest safety rating and it stomps Chevy and Dodge.
For what ever reason Ford didn't put the wheel deflectors on the SuperCab models. The super cab is probably harder to strengthen as well with the suicide doors. |

The small-overlap front crash test has proved particularly vexing to automakers since it was introduced in 2012. The test crashes a front corner of the vehicle against a stationary barrier at 40 mph, simulating the vehicle striking an object such as a tree. Many automakers have had difficulty passing the test. The two diverging 2015 F-150 crash test results show why. Not really a fair criticism by OP. |

The two diverging 2015 F-150 crash test results show why. Not really a fair criticism by OP.  , but the pictures speak for themselves, fender benders will not be kind to the aluminum truck.http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2015/07/29/mixed-crash-test-results-versions-ford/30854467/ IIHS ran crash tests at 10 mph with the 2015 F-150 crew cab and the 2014 steel version. The group crashed the front left corner of the aluminum pickup into the right rear corner of the steel pickup at a 15 percent overlap, and then flipped the test and ran the steel pickup into the back of the aluminum one. In both scenarios, the aluminum F-150 had more extensive damage than the steel model. Total repair costs for the front and rear damage combined were 26 percent higher for the aluminum F-150. "Extra time to repair the aluminum body accounted for the higher price to fix frontal damage, while higher parts costs pushed up the repair bill for the rear damage,” IIHS said. "From a simple bolt-on parts replacement to a more-involved removal and installation of entire body panels, fixing the aluminum F-150 is more expensive than repairing a steel-body F-150,” Zuby says. |
