For a new vehicle to come to market in the United States, it must be crashed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to make sure it’s safe enough for people to ride in.
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.
