ford f-150 pickup truck has been the bestselling vehicle of any kind in the united states. well new crash tests were published today, and chip reid has them. >> reporter: the 2015 f-150 is the first mass-market vehicle with an all-aluminum body. in crash tests the crew cab version of the popular truck got the top rating on all five tests, including this one which simulates a vehicle slicing into a highway barrier or the outside edge of a stopped car at 40 miles an hour. but in the same test, the slightly smaller super cab version of the f-150 did poorly. the driver survival space collapsed and the crash dummy's head slid off the airbag and hit the dash board. why the difference? the super crew, which accounts for 83% of f-150 sales scored well because of steel components in the frame. ford did not add them to the poor-performing super cab but says it plans to fix the problem in 2016 models. the light-weight aluminum body on the f-150 gives it better mileage and the fact that the super crew did so well is an important development, according to david zuby, of the insurance institute for highway safety. >> there's been a lot of concern that building vehicles out of aluminum will lead to vehicles being lessafe but i think our tests show that aluminum-bodied vehicles can be as safe as their steel-bodied counter-parpts without any question. >> reporter: the insurance institute says it's more expensive to repair one of these aluminum truckes after an accident, but, scott ford vigorously disagrees. they say you'll save an average of $900 after a crash compared to the old steel version. >> pelley: chip reid with an intact f-150. thank you very much, chip. federal investigators want to talk to the dentist who killed a beloved lion. that's just ahead. re rheumatoid
