2024 Ford F-150
large pickup / Crew cab pickup
Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2021-24 models built after March 2021
Tested vehicle: 2021 Ford F-150 XL SuperCrew
The Ford F-150 was redesigned for the 2021 model year. Beginning with 2021 models built after March, reinforcements were added to the left and right-hand side of the frame to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.)
Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of an F-150 conducted by Ford.

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
The rear passenger dummy's head remained a safe distance from the front seatback.
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a likely risk of injury to the head or neck and chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt moved too far upward toward the dummy’s neck, compromising the effectiveness of the rear restraint system.
The rear passenger dummy's lap belt moved from the ideal position on the pelvis onto the abdomen, increasing the risk of abdominal injuries.

Rear passenger head protection
Part of the dummy's head moved beyond the rear portion of the side curtain airbag and contacted the C-pillar. The head protection is inadequate. | |
