Ford Safety Ratings

NHTSA has crash-tested 60 Ford model years in our index, covering 11 models between 2015 and 2025. The average overall score is 4.8 stars, and 47 of those model years earned the full five.

None scored below four stars overall. A high floor across a range is common in recent model years, so the sub-scores are usually where the meaningful differences sit. The lowest rollover result here is 3 stars on the 2025 Ford Expedition; rollover measures how likely a vehicle is to roll, not how well it protects you if it does.

Star ratings compare vehicles of similar weight, so they are not transferable across classes: five stars on a compact car and five on a full-size SUV do not describe the same crash outcome.
