DEARBORN, MI – Ford announced its 2011 F-150 SuperCrew received a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
According to the IIHS, the F-150's roof withstood a force equal to 4.7 times the vehicle's weight. Vehicles with a strength-to-weight ratio of 4 or higher earn a good rating. The good rating and Top Safety Pick designation for the F-150 apply to pickups manufactured after February 2011 because Ford made changes to the roof structure to better protect occupants in rollover crashes, IIHS stated. The vehicle also received top ratings in front, side, and rear evaluations. Another safety feature the IIHS noted was electronic stability control, which is standard on the 2011 F-150.
