May 1, 2021 – Ford has completely redesigned its F-150 for 2021, and added a hybrid powertrain for the first time. Meantime, Ram has added a new TRX off-road model to compete with the Ford Raptor.
On the other end of the spectrum, Nissan will be pulling the Titan, NV and NV200 from the Canadian marketplace after the 2021 model year, leaving the Frontier, which is set to reveal a completely redesigned model in the near future.
And the winner is…
For the second year in a row, the Ram 1500 has earned the coveted Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Of course, not all Ram 1500s are created equal; only the Crew Cab models equipped with the Advanced Safety Group suite of features counts. Fortunately, this is a popular combo among customers, and for those who might be wondering, yes, even the Hellcat-powered Ram 1500 TRX counts for this coveted rating.
The IIHS requires vehicles to come with Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking in order to achieve this status, and the Ram full-size truck earned an advanced rating. Aiding safety, the truck has a sensor-fusion Automatic Emergency Braking system that blends camera technology with radar sensors to determine whether there s about to be an imminent frontal impact with another vehicle.

After it managed to get a top rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) last year, the 2021 incarnation of Ram’s 1500 pickup truck succeeded in scoring equally as high this week, becoming the first truck to achieve such a feat this year. 1 photo
The rating procedure has been for a while a bit tougher than before, as the latest system IIHS requires from cars and trucks chasing the coveted Top Safety Pick designation is pedestrian automatic emergency braking.
Ram’s solution is an evolution of the automatic emergency braking system, which uses cameras and radars to determine if an impact is imminent. Just like all others of its kind, once such a determination has been made, the driver is alerted and, if no action is taken, the system brakes automatically.
