The Ford F-150 has long been a staple on American roads and worksites, earning its reputation as a dependable and capable workhorse. However, it's not just about power and performance; the F-150 also prioritizes safety, incorporating a suite of advanced technologies to protect you and your passengers on every journey. Let's delve into the safety features that contribute to the F-150's enduring popularity and make it a top choice for drivers across the nation.
Ford Co-Pilot360™ 2.0: Your Vigilant Co-Pilot
At the core of the F-150's safety arsenal lies Ford Co-Pilot360™ 2.0, a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies designed to enhance your awareness and help you avoid potential hazards on the road. This intelligent system utilizes cameras, radar, and sensors to monitor your surroundings, providing real-time alerts and assistance when you need it most.
Here are some key features of Ford Co-Pilot360™ 2.0:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): This system acts as your second set of eyes, scanning the road ahead and alerting you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians. If you don't react in time, it can automatically apply the brakes to help mitigate or even prevent an accident, giving you an extra layer of protection in critical situations.
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert: Changing lanes on busy highways or backing out of a parking space can be stressful. BLIS® alerts you when vehicles are in your blind spot, while Cross-Traffic Alert warns you of approaching vehicles when reversing. This technology helps you stay aware of your surroundings and make safer maneuvers.
- Lane-Keeping System: This system helps you stay centered in your lane, gently nudging the steering wheel if you unintentionally drift. It's particularly helpful on long drives or when you're momentarily distracted, reducing the risk of lane departure accidents.
Additional Safety Features:
Beyond Co-Pilot360™ 2.0, the F-150 offers additional safety features that contribute to its stellar reputation:
- Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist: Backing up with a trailer can be challenging. This feature provides a clear view of the area behind your truck and helps you align the hitch with the trailer for effortless coupling.
- Trailer Sway Control: This system helps you maintain control of your trailer by detecting sway and applying selective braking to individual wheels, keeping you and your cargo safe on the road.
- Pro Trailer Backup Assist™: This innovative feature makes backing up with a trailer as easy as turning a knob. It takes the guesswork out of maneuvering, allowing you to focus on your surroundings and avoid potential hazards.
- 360-Degree Camera: Get a bird's-eye view of your truck and its surroundings with this available feature, making it easier to navigate tight spaces and avoid obstacles.
- Post-Collision Braking: In the event of a collision, this system automatically applies the brakes to help reduce the severity of a secondary impact.​

The F-150's commitment to safety is reflected in its impressive ratings from leading safety organizations:
