Yep, the F150 got top safety pick. I think this is a big reason why insurance premiums have been great on this new truck.

Man that offset impact test is rough. I saw that last year, that the SuperCab didn't fair well at all in that test and the comparison shot from the SCREW and the SCAB was telling.

Is there anything that can be done to "retrofit" a 2015 super cab so that it's as safe as the 2016's?
