Ford F-150 features that impact insurance costs

Countless vehicle features can affect your car insurance premium. If your vehicle comes equipped with the latest safety features, you may pay less for your car insurance. If your vehicle is built for speed, you may spend more on your insurance as your provider could see you as a higher risk driver.

The following Ford F-150 features may lower your car insurance premium:

• MyKey: This feature allows you to restrict your vehicle’s top speed, audio volume and can require fastening your seatbelt prior to driving.
• Pro-Trailer Backup Assist: You are asked to enter trailer measurements, at which point a camera will track your trailer’s positioning and allow you to back up with the turning of a knob.
• Cross-traffic alerts: Sensors track vehicles behind you when you’re backing out, and will alert you if a vehicle stands in your way.
• Emergency braking: This optional feature includes pedestrian detection and could help you avoid or lessen the impact of collisions.

Other car insurance coverage for a Ford F-150

If you recently purchased a new Ford F-150, you may want to consider purchasing more insurance than the minimum liability requirements in your state. If you are involved in a collision and do not have enough insurance to cover the damages, you will have to pay for repairs or medical expenses out-of-pocket.

To protect your finances, you may want to consider adding both uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which pay damages if a driver hits you but does not have insurance or does not have enough insurance to cover the incident. Uninsured motorist coverage could also pay out if you are the victim of a hit-and-run. You may also want to look into purchasing comprehensive coverage and collision coverage, which are designed to pay for damages to your F-150 caused by both non-accident and accident-related instances, regardless of faults. If you finance your truck, you might also want to consider gap coverage, which could help pay the difference between the depreciated value of your new vehicle and the loan amount if it is totaled or stolen.

If you are unsure how much auto coverage you need, talking with a licensed insurance agent can help.
