I showed my dad this video. He drives a 1999 f150, he thought it did quite well, until I told him it was not actually going 100 mph. I actually drive it more often now.
That truck came out in 04'?
Damn I'm gettin' old.
2003, this is the Fall of 2003.

Good looking design
@@theandyshow2167 I love the design of this generation of the F 150 but its too bad how horrible the 3v was in them.
@@user-bc4mr1iq4vthe first years had the 2v. 3v was 05 to 07. 08 was a 4v and a much better engine.
The F150 heritage was sold in mexico until 2007.
That's because America doesn't care.
I'll be a lil more careful not to hit any concrete barriers in my 02 f150 that looked terrible
JakelaWeeze if you crash make sure it hits the full length so the energy even out so that it doesn't bend like that
Don't do it, it sucks even if you aren't going over 35 mph. I swayed the front rails in my 01 and tweaked the frame, no airbag deployment either because of the odd impact direction or lack of speed, whiplash for days....
@@zachalexander6955 yeah i got into a bad wreck in my 01 f150 supercrew and it didnt buckle like that. The only reason that the f150 failed the IIHS test is because they only tested the extended cab models which have no fixed B-pillar, which significantly compromises the structural integrity
The supercab is the best seller, which is why they picked it. Also I had a 00 4x4 and the frame on the 4x4 had a massive cross member that strengthened the front end, the 2wd did not have this cross member and they crash test 2wd models.
Thank you dateline for your hard work in making there's car manufacturers make Vehicles. Us Consumers and woke away in an accident instead of being tired away in a buddy bag after 30 mph in packed.
I remember how poor the 2001 Ford F-150 did in the offset test, and then how good the 2004 Ford F-150 did in the offset test.
On February 6, 2023 around 10:15pm I was driving on a (straight) road when I slid on a patch of black ice. The back end of my 2004 Ford F-150 started to fishtail to the right and I tried to counter steer but over corrected and the back end then swung to the left and turned more the 90° to the ditch. Once the back drivers side wheel went off the road it clipped the snow and the truck started to roll about 3 or 4 times down the ditch before it struck a tree and came to a rest on its wheels.
It knocked the wind out of me and I couldn’t breathe for about a minute. The passenger window shattered out and at some point my phone flew out of the truck. Because I couldn’t find my phone all I could do was keep the horn honking. I was also out in the middle of nowhere even though I was just 2 miles away from my house. The drivers side door was smashed in and jammed shut so once I was able to regain my strength to move I then had to crawl to the passenger side to get out. I eventually found my phone about 6 feet away in the snow. My glasses also flew off as soon as the truck started rolling and I still haven’t found them.
Originally I thought I just went straight down the hill. I then realized how aggressive the truck was being jolted when I was trying to find my phone and saw everything put away under the seats were laying everywhere in the back seat. It wasn’t until I looked around and saw everything that was in the pick up bed scattered everywhere in the snow when I realized I actually rolled several times. You also can’t see yourself rolling. Basically all I could see through my windshield even with my glasses off was the whiteness of snow and a bunch of snow flying around as if you’re in a snow storm with no visibility. The only thing you can feel is yourself being jolted around and being pulled from your seat every time it rolled on the roof.
I was going about 50 to 55 mph but the there was no snow at all on the road. The only snow visible was on the grass and on the trees. It was even 35°F outside which is a heatwave for Minnesota especially for February. What I eventually learned was that it was raining all day while I was asleep. So the road was originally wet but as soon as the sun went down certain spots iced up. I obviously learned this the hard way, also the entire road in the 2 miles I drove were dry, however where I slid is a spot that’s shaded with a bunch of trees.
The truck was totaled unfortunately. I dealt with rib pain and chest pain as well as right wrist pain. I also experienced whiplash in my neck. A few days later I started to have pain on my head which probably was my water bottle hitting my head as that also flew out of the truck. Thankfully I was able to walk away from the wreck though. I didn’t even get any major cuts. The only part of my body that was bleeding was my finger because I broke my fingernail. None of my airbags deployed either since nothing hit the front end directly as well as the 2004 Ford F-150 didn’t come with side airbags yet.
I have a 2013 f150 fx4 and it drives like a luxury car and is the safest truck now
It’s now 2023. I wonder how well the F150 stands up in an accident now, 11 years after this video came out on TH-cam
I love my 05 F-150. I have over 220k miles on it and it doesn't leak anything. Who ever designed the non serviceable drive shaft should be strung up by his balls.
DID YOU JUST ASSUME YOUR F 150S GENDER???????????????????
How are the plugs
"heritage not head injuries"
Lol give ford a break, they redesigned the car and then the bumper became their problem, lol!
lol okay, i'll give you a break too. Can't say you'll live though.
(2:50) For whatever reason I was thinking the new F 150 was gonna do worse than the predecessor.
What about the supercabs from these years? I remember hearing the issue was with the fact it doesn't have a pillar behind the driver's side door
I wonder how this didn't ruin the f150 reputation at least for that generation
It has a reliable engine and transmission that’s why the 04 gen came out with the dreaded 3v engine
Where’s the 2001 dateline truck video for this?
I tried to look for the Silverado I not sure because on iihs.org it’s says the Chevy Silverado got a poor
The Silverado was rated marginal
th-cam.com/video/gesVcfz7mCE/w-d-xo.html
Eh I'll still buy an old one with 5.4 if I get a good deal. Though I would definitely prefer the '04+. Or better yet a 2011+ with the 5.0.
the reason ford is still making the older f150 heritage is because the ford lawyers told them too, if ford immediately stopped making the heritage,it would look like something was wrong with it ,and lawsuits would over whelm ford..
Why didn't they test the non seat integrated models?
Finally good graphics
Heritage is just a pretty name for outdated, sub-standard death trap
Came here after watching how the Ford Expedition performed terribly at the small overlap crast test
yet here we are in 2018 and 5 mph bumper test on vehicles are a lot more worse in terms of the amount of damage that will cost to repair on a vehicle.
Can you post 2001 trucks crash test?
Drama Queen!!!!!
And great improvement!
2001 OLD 10 TH GEN F1-50 POOR CRASH TEST VS 2004 ALL NEW F-150 GOOD TOP SAFETY PICK 2004
BULIT FORD TOUGH!
2004 - 2021 FORD MOTOR COMPANY.
The only thing I hate about the newer f150's is that they still jerk (Jolt) pretty nasty in tight 4x4 turns. I use to have a 2001 chevy silverado 2500 hd, and it did not jolt.
It seems like this guy's saying he drives around in 4x4 on pavement or something
I have an 2006 f150
Lol im in the midst of putting a 97 f150 on the road
You are wrong david scott
We will still have the 2001 f150
I have a hammy down 01 f-150 that was in a wreck worse than this and it is still driveable and you can’t even tell if had ever been in a crash and all this took place before my father bought it used
It wouldn't be drive able after crashing into a 320,000lb wall at 40mph like this one did. That applies to ALL makes and models. This test basically simulates the worst of the worst because you're essentially hitting an immovable object, if you crash into another car its going to be pushed away by the force, but a wall like this? Not so much.
You mean hand-me down?
Yup, Ford redesigned its top seller because of you?
Now go after GM.
Oh, you couldn't, they were a commercial sponsor.
Where’s your evidence?
What do they mean by the old F150 did very well when it got the worst rating from IIHS
The IIHS is a separate agency. The 1997 - 2003 F-150's passed the government mandated frontal collision crash as did the OBS F-150's before the 1997 year model, but they failed the IIHS moderate overlap crash test (the one shown in this video). At the time, back in the early 2000's the moderate overlap was a new type of crash test that was suppose to simulate two cars hitting each other half on in opposing lanes and it redistributed crash force's to different parts of the vehicles chassis. Pretty much everyone failed it when it first came out, the 1997 - 2003 F-150's just failed in a more spectacular fashion and it was more news worthy because the F-150 is the most sold vehicle in America.
@@nathanmcdonald610 The moderate overlap began in 1994, but for pickups it was somewhat new. This video in late 2003, didn't realize that Ford as of May 2001, had finished body design work on the 2004 F-150, 9 months earlier on August 29, 2000. Early P221 crash tests were underway in Dearborn, so the timing narrowly avoid a point of no return.
This partly resulted in a 9 month delay from market launch, switching from December 26, 2002 release to September 2003 as a 2004 model.
Dateline out here standing on bodies trying to act like they got ford to fix it and not the families who reached out due to their tramatic loss. What a shame. Virtue signaling for public trust is terrible.
The body may have held up body, but the engine sure didn’t just saying.
Was Dateline making a difference when they lied about GM exploding truck gas tanks?
3V sucked but the rest of that gen truck was fricken solid.
:lol: Every one here has massive frame rot. The 2009+ got it right.
How did that happen a ford f150 old one😢
The guy flash light gime cancer
Have to remember that in a crash with a smaller car,even one that has good safety ratings, the truck is probably still safer
This is true. The structural issue with this truck becomes a problem when you impact a vehicle of similar weight and size - which these days is more likely than not given the number of trucks and SUVs on the road
Don't be patting yourself on the back too much "Dateline"...it was you guys who added the pyrotechnics to your "objective" crash test of the old GM trucks with those saddle gas-tanks , trying to show how they "burst into flames"....these guys added some pyros to "assure" they got the test results they were looking for...
except that it wasn't fake
Giordan Diodato Uhhh, yeah it was faked. Someone gave up the scam & GM sued NBC, they admitted to placing pyrotecnics to "make sure" they got the intended results. Both ABC and CBS played the Auto-safety "Revelation" game far earlier than NBC. & also got burned for stacking -the-deck , one got an Emmy for their "insightful" research, no....it was just a con job to get ratings.

Solution: Purchase an Upgraded Front Bumper.
Traves McPunk no
Lol a bumper has absolutely nothing to do with high speed crash performance. Anything over 5mph and a bumper is basically useless.
@@nathanmcdonald610 I think they were referring to the newer model and how it performs poorly in low speed crash tests.
If i die driving a truck thatll get to to point a to point b then so be it, my 10th gen will outlast that 3v by a longshot.
The Dateline Difference Decepticons, Start fires under chevy truck fuel tanks
How much for the bed
Not ever driving a pickup
But if it's an F250...🤕
Seems like Ford went back to their old habits with the new 2015 F150, you people need to see the crash tests, they're terrible.
The IIHS gave the 2015 F-150 Supercrew a 5 star overall crash test safety rating and a top safety pick. Which no other truck got this year. Ford has said it will be adding the safety features to all the other models for the 2016 model year as the engineers didn't have enough time to add the features before the truck was set to be released.
Yeah cause an IIHS top safty pick plus is horrible
I think it is awesome, guiding consumers to buy safer cars, creating pressure on the automakers to make safer cars
WQQKIE you're probably a Chevy or dodge fan
It was bad, they corrected it by 2016 I believe, probably didn't have things in line because they were busy polishing aluminum lol
I’m disabled with a spine injury from a rear end collision in my ‘97 Chevy Blazer back in ‘04…. I’ll never be married or have kids because of it, ‘cause what woman wants a guy drawing Social Security Disability and is in pain all the time? I was coming home from my job at Apple Computer (back when they had “computer” in their name) and I was rear ended at a red light waiting for it to turn green…. It’s OK, my ending will be painless when I eat the end of my Glock. 🫡
Hey man you doing okay?
@@ihatedlyselxics7689 If being in pain 24/7 is okay, sure…. Just kidding, not about the pain but yeah, I’m fine. Thank You for asking, that’s very nice of you. 🙂
@@frankthespank I hope you see some improvements in your health. I'm glad you're still around. Stay safe my friend.
@@ihatedlyselxics7689 eh.. actually getting worse lately but still kicking around. Thank You very much and you stay safe too, best wishes! 😎
Fuck bro I pray for you may God Bless you
