With the new year comes a new award. Ford - in its quest to fill the shelves of its F-Series' trophy case - has pushed the boundaries of design, fusing its F-250 Super Duty with a series of enhancements; and these enhancements have recently earned recognition from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Association (NHTSA).
According to MSN, the 2017 F-250 has earned a staggering five-stars from the NHTSA! This rating (the highest available) showcases Ford’s dedication to improving the driver experience, with the pick-up lauded for its roll-over protection, side impact responses, and front-crash resistance. It marks a milestone for the brand, with last year’s F-Series managing to secure only four-stars.
What caused this sudden advancement? The NHTSA notes that Ford’s recent upgrades - which include the Safety Canopy, an advanced airbag deployment system; available rear inflatable seat belts; a SOS Post Crash Alert System; and military-grade aluminum framing - have allowed the truck to dart past the competition. The entire platform has been engineered for prevention and protection. This has delivered yet another victory for 2017.
We’re not surprised. The F-250 Super Duty proves an ideal option for work or play, fusing industry-leading safety with V8 performance.
