What new active safety features does Ford add to the 2026 F-150 compared to the 2025?
The 2026 F-150 expands its Co-Pilot360 suite with three new active safety features. First, Trailer Blind Spot Detection is now standard on all trims from XLT and above — previously available only on Lariat and higher. Second, the rear cross-traffic alert system is extended to operate up to 60 km/h (versus 20 km/h on the 2025), improving safety during parking manoeuvres on busy roads. Third, Ford integrates the Driver Alert System 2.0 for the first time — monitoring lane-keeping consistency and suggesting rest breaks after detecting drowsiness indicators. This feature is particularly relevant for long Canadian highway hauls on Trans-Canada or northern Ontario routes where driver fatigue is a documented road safety concern.
