At Hassett of Wantagh, we sell the 2013 Ford Taurus and 2013 Ford Explorer which have both earned the top safety scores from various testing agencies including the U.S. government. Ford has been innovative while developing a whole host of new features to not only protect drivers during an accident but also tools to help avoid accidents all together like forward collision warning system with brake support.

"Ford offers industry-leading features and technology on our Ford and Lincoln vehicles because of our commitment to customers and their safety," said Robert Brown, Ford vice president of Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering. "These most recent crash test ratings from NHTSA are a validation that Ford is continuously innovating in the availability of safety technologies that benefit drivers and occupants in real-world accident situations."

The NHTSA New Car Assessment Program has ranked both the Taurus sedan and the Explorer SUV with a top five star rating in the Overall Vehicle Score meaning that they will be perfect for families or individuals who value safety but still want to get a car that has modern tech features.
