Insurance Data Says F150 Best, Nissan Titan Worst

The IIHS (Insurance Institue for Highway Safety) is an impartial source of vehicle safety info, such as crash test data, insurance loss rates, and more. Yesterday, the IIHS website shared some information about average loss rates by vehicle make and model, separately reporting loss rates on collisions, personal injury claims, etc. You can view the data for yourself here.

Is the F150 the safest truck on the road? Based on the below-average collision and property damage loss rates, it certainly could be.

However, if you want the long and short of it, the data boils down to this: The F150 has the lowest loss rates, and the Nissan Titan has absolutely the worst. The Tundra is about average.

New Nissan Titan Delayed

For those awaiting the updating of the Nissan Titan truck, it appears your wait is not yet over. Nissan has recently announced that due to the March earthquakes in Japan, the update won’t happen at this time. The earthquakes have caused many problems and damages at facilities there that they have now had to put the plans to update the Nissan Titan on hold for awhile, most likely until the year 2014…meaning the updated Titan could be a 2015 model.

Next Generation Titan Will Offer V6, Fleet Trim, and Maybe Even a Regular Cab

As Nissan’s Titan full-size pickup nears its eighth year of production, engineers have been scurrying to find a way to make the dated truck more appealing to potential truck buyers gravitating to other brands. Nissan’s market share has fallen dramatically in recent years, spurring efforts to not only increase the allure of their only full-size pickup offering, but also to let otherwise unaware car shoppers that yes, Nissan does, indeed still build a full-size pickup truck. Their solution? A full vehicle update for the 2014 model year.
