What Are the Safest Pickup Trucks?

While safety may not be your top priority when choosing a used pickup truck around Logan, it’s worth consideration, especially since a full-size truck is often becoming a family vehicle. IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) has been putting out its Top Safety Pick awards since 2006, and the criteria get more stringent every year. The intent is that automakers trying to get this renowned award will work hard to make their vehicles safer, and it’s working! Since safety criteria get stricter every year, logic dictates that more recent models are typically safer. So, what are the safest pickup trucks? Find out here from Truck Ranch.
