Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Finally Ford is #1 at Something.

Nothing to be proud of CarCar:

The Ford F-Series (including the F-150 and its bigger siblings the F-250 and F-350) was involved in more fatal accidents over the course of our study than any other car, truck or SUV. The vast majority were for the most popular F-150 model, which accounted for 65% of all fatal F-Series crashes. The F-Series is also the most popular truck in America, having sold nearly a million units in 2018.

Vehicle model years 2005 to 2008 accounted for the highest number of fatal crashes.
Passenger cars accounted for the most fatal crashes
Although they make up only 3% of registered vehicles, motorcycles account for 10% of fatal crashes.

The top five most dangerous vehicles in the United States, according to the study, are as follows:

Ford F-Series: 10,845 fatal crashes. As previously mentioned, the Ford F-Series came in at the top of the list for fatal accidents. The report also revealed that the deadliest vehicle here in North Dakota is, indeed, the Ford F-Series pickup.
Chevrolet Silverado: 7,718 fatal crashes. Another large pickup, the Silverado is also one of the tallest pickup trucks on the road, and came out as the deadliest vehicle in Arkansas and Vermont.
Honda Accord: 5,079 fatal crashes. The Honda Accord tops the list as the most dangerous passenger car in the research and poses an elevated risk for occupants. The Accord is also the deadliest vehicle in New Jersey.
Toyota Camry: 4,734 fatal crashes. The top competitor to the Honda Accord, the Camry comes in right under it with slightly fewer fatal accidents.
Ram pickups (all models): 5,897. The Ram model year 2001 had the highest incidents of fatal crashes, but the report did note that it had a lower risk of fatal injuries to occupants.

Okay, so we are only #1 at something because the numbers are skewed. Sounds right.

Read in the news where someone was driving 100mph or more on Telegraph in a Mercedes and hit an F-150. Split the truck in half. No fatalities, yet, but the people involved are in critical condition.

There are millions of F150s on the road and 10K Chevy Bolts. Guess who will have more accidents?

Agree with several posters. . . North Dakota Law ? lol

Wow, Ford targets high risk drivers for their trucks and other car/truck companies check driving records before they sell you a vehicle.

Now that’s a rich comment CarCar.

I call bu11sh1t too. I'd want to know the driving record of the F-Series owners/drivers. I'd wager it's not the vehicle but the driver.

That study is bu-----t. These are all vehicle with insane production numbers. Everyone in the US drives a Camry, Accord, or a pick up truck. So obviously they are over represented.
