Ford F-150 Safety: Driver Assistance

These days, smart technology makes driving—especially in a truck—safer than ever. The Ford F-150 offers numerous safety features via its available Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver-assist suite. You’ll like the convenience of having:

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Lane-Keeping System

These systems will help you stay in your lane, keep pace with the traffic ahead, and avoid or mitigate the possibility of front-end collisions. And that’s not all. You can equip this truck with an optional 360-Degree Camera with Split-View Display. See all sides of the vehicle as you’re navigating tight spaces!

When it comes to driver assistance, that’s just the beginning. This Ford truck offers features that enhance your towing experience, too. We’ll cover those in the next section.

Safety When Towing: More Features

Whether you’re towing the family boat or a roomy camper trailer, safety is a priority. The Ford F-150 can make your drive safer with additional active safety systems.

Need to change lanes, but worried about cars in your blind spot? Available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage helps you navigate that situation smartly. It can warn you of cars detected in your vehicle’s blind spot and alongside your trailer. You’ll be more aware of the roads around you.

Backing up with a trailer in tow can be tricky. The available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ makes it easier than ever. Just turn the dashboard-mounted knob left or right in the direction you want the trailer to go. The system will synchronize your truck and trailer for a seamless experience!
