The tested model of Ford Falcon FG Ute was introduced in Australia during 2008. This 5-star rating applies to 6 & 8 cylinder models fitted with head/chest-protecting side airbags, electronic stability control (ESC) and a tunnel-mounted transmission control/gear shift. It includes LPG and EcoLPi variants.
Dual front airbags are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) are also standard. Head/chest-protecting ("combo") side airbags are optional or standard, depending on the variant. ESC became available as an option from December 2008 (petrol) and May 2009 (E-Gas). An advanced seat belt reminder is fitted to the driver seat. Several other safety features are incorporated in the Intelligent Safety System. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash.
