In Parts Of The World, PIckups Don't Live Up To F-150 Standards When you watch the video of this crash test you will really appreciate just how safe trucks are here and in most of the world. There are parts of the world, though, where truck safety takes a back seat to expense. Advertisement It's incredible how much we take for granted in our pickups and SUVs today. For example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the Ford F-150 four stars. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), which last rated the 2019 F-150, rated it as uniformly Good, except for the Poor headlights. IIHS has not yet rated the 2020 F-150. However, it is more than likely that the ratings will improve markedly.
