2011 F-150 joins eleven other 2011 Fords as Top Safety Pick
The 2011 Ford F-150 was proud to be named an IIHS Top Safety Pick earlier this month, making the F-150 the most recent of 11 Ford vehicles on the road that have earned this impressive accolade.
To earn a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must receive a rating of "good" in offset frontal-, side- and rear-impact tests and the new roof strength evaluation, as well as offer electronic stability control.
"Safety ratings are important markers customers can use to evaluate vehicles, so we are proud Ford has the most top U.S. safety ratings of any automaker ever," said Sue Cischke, Ford group vice president of Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering. "The F-150's innovative safety technologies and this new Top Safety Pick award further demonstrate Ford's commitment to safety."
New safety features for the 2011 Ford F-150 include a seat-integrated shoulder belt for the front middle seat and a head restraint for the second-row middle seat. The F-150's standard safety features include an advanced safety structure with high-strength steel and six standard airbags.
Other standard Ford F-150 safety features include, dual-stage airbags for driver and front passenger, Safety Canopy side curtain airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control), four-wheel ABS brakes, SOS Post Crash Alert System, MyKey and trailer sway control.
What other Fords that have already been awarded the ongoing Top Safety Pick from IIHS? This year's models include the Edge, Explorer, Taurus, Fusion, Fiesta and Flex.
The F-Series was the best-selling truck in America for the 34th year in a row and the best-selling vehicle - car or truck - for the 29th year in a row.
