2019 Ford F-150 Safety Features

The new F-150 safety features still offer the very best in terms of technology to help avoid and mitigate the severity of potential accidents. In fact, this year makes some important features available at the very base level, whereas in the past, they were only available at higher trim levels-a very welcome upgrade. The F-150 still comes in six different trim levels and a number of configurations.

At the base level, you'll find a Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist, a core safety feature that many other vehicles don't offer until higher trim levels or through add-on packages. This is a major advantage that the F-150 offers.

At higher levels, you'll get features like BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, all of which will help both you and whatever you're hauling make it safely to your destination.
