2015 F-150 Takes The Top Spot In Safety For The Light-Duty Truck Category

BRIGHTON, Mich. - There's been a lot of trash talking lately involving the effectiveness and safety of the new 2015 Ford F-150, but let us clear it up: the 2015 F-150 takes the top spot in safety for the light-duty truck category. Ford's new F-150 is the toughest, lightest, smartest, most capable and safest truck EVER produced and now, Ford Motor Company can add "safest" to the description. The new truck is also the first truck in America to EVER pick up a Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for the SuperCrew model.

The crash-test performance for the F-150 exceeded expectations, thanks in part to its all-steel frame, high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy body and smart engineering. A breakthrough in innovation also was applied to the reparability of the all-new F-150, thanks to its innovative structure that simplifies repairs.

Ford basis their safety tests not by unrealistic stunts, but by real-world situations and accident repair data. A cross functional group comprised of seasoned automotive veterans worked to optimize vehicle weight savings and manufacturing design to deliver improved durability, capability, fuel economy and crash worthiness and that is the reason why the 2015 F-150 takes the top spot in safety for the light-duty truck category. 

Here at Brighton, we are proud of the all-new Ford F-150 and the engineers behind America's favorite truck!

BRIGHTON, Mich. - The Ford GT takes home the Top American Concept Vehicle Award, and these awards always focus on and recognize those vehicles most likely to shape the future of the auto industry as a whole. The fact that Ford's player in the sports car game is getting so much national recognition is super exciting! Each of the vehicle candidates were put through an intense selection process headed by more than two dozen jurors, and every vehicle nominated was introduced during this season's North American auto shows in Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York. Finalists in the category included the Aston Martin Vulcan, the Buick Avenir and the Ford GT.  

The Ford GT took home the 2015 Production Preview Concept award, which marked the brand's 20th time as a category finalist and the fifth time as category winner. One of the jurors stated that the "Ford GT is already one of the all-time great designs, with styling that is simultaneously breathtaking and aerodynamically functional. A car for the ages."

The Ford GT takes home the Top American Concept Vehicle Award, which isn't surprising due to the national and international popularity the GT has been generating lately. The 2017 Ford GT will feature a stunning, next-generation twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and will produce more than 600 horsepower. The exciting EcoBoost engine will also be paired with  a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle for a near instantaneous gear change and exceptional driver control.  

The new GT will join other Ford models, the Focus ST, Fiesta ST,  F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350® and the Shelby® GT350R, as the latest addition to the Ford Performance lineup.
