BRIGHTON, Mich. – When Ford initially announced that the
2015 F-150 was switching from an all-steel frame to aluminum, many auto
insiders were worried about how this would effective the safety ratings of
Ford’s number 1 selling truck. However, the 2015 Ford F-150 just received a five-star safety rating! This is
the highest safety rating possible from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), and Ford certainly has reason to celebrate! The 2015
F-150 proved a hard nut to crack, and beat out all other steel body vehicles.
Ford’s previous 2014 all steel F-150 was only able to nab four stars in these
awards last season.
Ford’s VP, Raj Nair quoted: “The 2015 model is engineered to
be the safest F-150 ever, which matters to customers who depend on this truck
not only to get the job done, but also to get them safely home.” Early in
January the new F-150 was crowned the 2015 Truck of the year, and has been the
talk of the entire industry since it was premiered. This truck hit the market
at the perfect time, with gas prices hitting an all-time low, and the model
also proved to be a performance monster after it passed the retooling process.
The all new 2015 Ford
F-150 just received a five-star safety rating, surprising the entire
automotive industry in the process and blowing the competition out of the
water. The new aluminum frame is so much lighter, thus giving the truck a
better fuel economy. The new F-150 is
also loaded with 31 added safety-features, which aided the vehicle to impress
NHTSA crash-test examiners.
The new F-150
is expected to roll out soon, and we cannot wait to see it in the flesh! If you

That's a really big deal with a car can receive a five star rating. It would be super interesting to read what exactly the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) uses to evaluate a five star rating. I am not too well versed with cars, but I was wondering if the cars come out of the manufacturer with zero miles on them and a less than five star rating?
