The National Highway Traffic Safety

different ratings -

side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints

the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:

Ford's F-Series is still king of the road
By Jim McCraw, NewCarTestDrive.com
The Ford F-Series pickup is a sales giant because it's a terrific truck offered in a mind-boggling array of combinations.Although the 4.9-liter in-line six and the 5.0-liter, 5.8-liter and 7.3-liter gasoline V8s are all good choices for street trucks, the great choice for heavy-duty family or business towing/hauling is the new Navistar Power Stroke diesel in the F-250 XLT. Beyond that, the continuing success of the F-Series is a tribute to high quality, an area where Ford trucks continue to hold the high ground among domestic manufacturers. |
|
Overview:
|
There are more Ford F-Series pickups sold every year than any other car or truck on the market, and it has been that way for more than a decade. Such is the popularity of Ford's full-size pickup, which has long offered a powerful one-two punch of enduring performance and rugged overall appeal. To keep up with demand for the F-Series trucks, Ford now has five plants scattered across the country with a total manufacturing capacity of nearly 700,000 units per year. Like the Chevrolet C/K trucks and the Dodge Ram - the Ford's only true competitors - the F-Series comes in a huge array of short-and long-wheelbase body styles. And so that the specific needs of all commercial or personal-use customers are met, there are style and performance choices galore: 2- and 4-wheel drive; Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab body styles; Styleside and Flareside designs in trim models of Special, XL, XLT and a brand-new 1995 Eddie Bauer version; quarter-, half- and three-quarter-ton load ratings; and a range of five gasoline and diesel engines and three transmissions. In its knack for delivering quality and consistency to a wide market, the Ford F-Series is pretty much a monument to a product that always seems to deliver a cut above the pack.
