2021 Ford Bronco FAILS To Secure Number One Spot For Crash Worthiness

The 2021 Ford Bronco performed well in most safety tests but failed to provide good protection in two key areas — against whiplash injuries and headlight illumination, which is "inadequate" on curves, according to the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

While the 4-door midsize SUV did earn a "good" rating in five out of six crashworthiness tests, it rated just "acceptable" in the head restraint test because the neck of the test dummy was subject to moderate force in a simulated rear-end crash, the group said in a news release.
