In today’s global economy, it’s becoming more and more difficult to identify the home country of a particular car or truck. Cars assembled in one country might have parts from another country and finally sold in a third.
We recently reported that the 2015 F-150 scored top marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in overall crashworthiness. That test should’ve put to bed any doubts that an aluminum truck can be just as safe for occupants as the equivalent steel truck. But that NHTSA test isn’t the only one out there.
Gizmodo’s IndefinitelyWild blog is not exactly the kind of place you go looking for well written and interesting Ford pickup reviews, but one fateful meeting of a friend at Ford, the highest off-road trail in California, and the new F-150 with the FX4 package resulted in a wonderful look at the truck, and the world it can be used in, from a fresh set of eyes.
