The Nissan Titan earned an Acceptable rating for rollovers, while the Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra and Dodge Ram earned Marginal scores. The F-150s score only relates to trucks built after February 2011, which is when Ford made structural changes to its roof. You can check a vehicle’s build date on a sticker affixed to the driver’s side doorjamb.
Large trucks and SUVs can be more prone to rollover due to their high center of gravity, making the roof-strength score even more significant for potential shoppers.
