Ford F-150 2017 Fatality Profile

Background

The 2017 Ford F-150 fatality profile in this dataset covers 181 fatal crashes, linked to 274 occupant fatalities. The snapshot is dated 2026-05-02, with the file computed at 2026-07-11.

This is a crash-outcome view rather than a defect or complaint record. It describes the fatal-crash cases in the dataset and highlights several recurring crash circumstances, including rollover, fire, alcohol involvement, and single-vehicle events.

Overall fatality picture

The central finding is straightforward: the 2017 Ford F-150 appears in 181 fatal crashes, with 274 occupant fatalities recorded. The dataset also lists 1.51 deaths per crash.

That combination points to a vehicle with a substantial fatal-crash footprint in absolute terms within this file. The figures do not explain fault, roadway type, speed, restraint use, or whether the F-150 occupant was the only person killed, but they do establish the scale of fatal outcomes attached to this model year.

What the crash patterns show

Several crash types stand out in the findings. Single-vehicle crashes are the largest named category, at 93 crashes and 51.47. Alcohol-involved crashes account for 26 cases and 14.22. Rollovers appear in 25 crashes and 13.73. Fire is noted in 6 crashes and 3.06.

Crash factor	Crashes	Share
Single-vehicle	93	51.47
Alcohol-involved	26	14.22
Rollover	25	13.73
Fire	6	3.06

The single-vehicle figure is especially notable because it exceeds half of the fatal crashes in the dataset at 51.47. That suggests a large portion of the fatal cases occurred without another vehicle being the primary counterpart in the event.

Severity signals

The dataset’s listed value of 1.51 deaths per crash indicates that fatal events involving the 2017 Ford F-150 were not limited to isolated single-fatality cases. Across 181 fatal crashes, the file records 274 occupant fatalities.

Rollover and fire are less common than single-vehicle and alcohol-involved crashes, but they remain important severity markers in a fatality narrative. The findings list 25 rollover crashes and 6 fire crashes. In fatal-crash analysis, those categories often matter because they can point to especially violent crash sequences, though this dataset does not provide case-level detail on impact sequence or post-crash survivability.

What this dataset does and does not say

The findings support a narrow but useful profile. They show how often the 2017 Ford F-150 appears in fatal crashes in this file, and how often those crashes involve single-vehicle circumstances, alcohol, rollover, or fire.

The findings do not identify defect causation, driver behavior beyond alcohol involvement, injury timing, or whether specific safety systems were present or activated. They also do not break fatalities out by seating position, road class, weather, or crash speed. For that reason, the figures are best read as a descriptive fatality snapshot rather than a full causal explanation.
