2020 Ford F-150 Safety Ratings

Accidents happen—and not all can be prevented. However, the Ford F-150 is engineered to help protect you in the event of collisions. Its “crashworthiness” is reflected in the high ratings it has earned from top automotive safety organizations, such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The 2020 F-150 SuperCrew models have earned an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating—the best score offered by the organization. The same models were awarded perfect scores of “Good” in five separate crash tests performed by the IIHS.

This Ford truck uses a robust airbag system to cushion passengers in accidents. The Safety Canopy® Side Curtains help protect outbound passengers’ heads and contribute to the excellent safety ratings.

Ford Co-Pilot360™ Driver Assistance

Like many models in the Ford lineup, the F-150 lets you adventure with more awareness via the Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver-assist suite. Many of its features come standard, including:

• Lane-Keeping System
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• Rear View Camera

If the journey ahead is long and steady, available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go is one more convenient addition to your arsenal. You can set a cruising speed and distance from the car ahead, and the Ford F-150 can automatically brake and accelerate to keep you in the sweet spot.

Also available is the BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage. If you’re stuck in rush-hour traffic—perhaps with a trailer in tow—this system is your best friend. Use it to change lanes more safely, as you’ll be forewarned of traffic in your blind spots.

Safety While Towing: Smart Features

Towing campers, boats, and other favorite toys brings a whole new set of safety needs. You want to help prevent your trailer from tipping over or hitting another vehicle or object, after all. Luckily, the 2020 F-150 offers several features to help you drive safer and smarter.

AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ includes trailer sway control to help keep you balanced on the roads. If trailer sway is detected, your vehicle can selectively brake to slow your speed and help bring it back under your control.

Backing up with a trailer in tow is easier than ever with Pro Trailer Backup Assist™. This available feature lets you synchronize your truck and trailer, all at the turn of a knob!
