ANCAP SAFETY has examined how well large pickups protect road users by testing the crash avoidance technology fitted in the vehicles.
The inaugural Large Utilities ADAS Safety Comparison aims to establish a benchmark in safety for the large pickups cohort and provide a path forward for manufacturers.
“Larger vehicles pose a bigger threat to other road users than passenger cars,” said ANCAP Chief Executive Officer, Carla Hoorweg.
“The best way to reduce the potential risk of fatalities and serious injuries from large vehicles is to make sure they do the best possible job at avoiding a crash.”
The updated Ford F-150 achieved the highest score – 81 per cent – and a platinum safety grading.
The full results can be viewed on the ANCAP website.
