2009 Ford F150 Safety Features
Below is an email received by Carl Ziegaus, our Commercial Sales Manager. The note shares an experience a Ford customer had with a new 2009 Ford F-150.
Letter to Alan Mulally…
I recently purchased a 2009 Ford F-150 and I am writing you this email to praise the safety features of that vehicle that saved my life. I was recently at the Texas State Fair and was looking at the new Ford vehicles because we will soon be in the market for my wife a new SUV, and I told one of the representatives my story. They told me that I should send the pictures in to someone at Ford. I did a google search for contact info at Ford, and I am taking a guess at your email address from your name.
On May 9th, I was driving on south Interstate 45 from Dallas to Houston at 5 in the morning. It was pitch black outside and as I came over a small hill in the road, there were 6 cattle standing across the freeway. I was traveling 65-70 miles an hour and I did not have time to react and swerve away from the cows. I hit and killed 3 of the cows. I don’t remember much of the wreck, but I do remember that I walked away from it. Once the police arrived on the scene, the were sure that anyone in the vehicle was surely dead. As every new officer and helping passer by came upon us, I was asked if I had checked on the people in the vehicle. They were surprised every time that I told them that I was the only one in the vehicle. They would ask how I was even standing after the wreck. I firmly believe that God put me in an F-150 exactly one week before the accident for a reason. The truck was totaled, and looking at the damage, I can see how anyone would not believe that I walked away from the accident. I had a twisted vertebrae, dislocated ribs, a concussion, and some burns from the airbag. All of that is fixable, and the one thing that I also have is my life. If I would have been in my previous vehicle, they said I would have been decapitated. On my F-150, the hood rolled back over the windshield and shielded anything from coming through it. The frame kept the cockpit in tact and overall, this truck truly performed the safety features to the max. No-one ever thinks of hitting 3 900 lb cows when they think of auto accidents, but your engineers and designers have put features into this truck that will save hundreds of lives, and I am sure glad they saved mine. My wife were married in March and this accident happened only 2 months after our wedding. Now we are expecting our first child, and I will only trust Ford vehicles with my wife and family in the future. I have attached a picture of the truck and I will say, the sales staff was fantastic in assisting me with getting a new 2009 F-150.
Thank You So Much,
Joe Cross

Sales Testimonial: Christine McGeorge
Dick Barrick was our sales consultant and I can’t begin to convey how wonderful both my husband and I felt about our experience with him. I have purchased approximately 6 new vehicles from various dealerships, Beechmont Ford, Jeff Wyler, Walt Sweeney and our experience with Dick at Beechmont is hands down over any other. They just don’t make salesman like Dick anymore! We purchased a vehicle at Beechmont Ford about 10 years ago and came back there several months ago but just didn’t get the level of service and ultimately did not buy a vehicle. We decided to give Beechmont another chance as my husband still felt a loyalty to them and we lucked out getting Dick as our salesman. Those young guys sitting around the desks chit-chatting about their plans for the evening or weekend should take some pointers from Dick. Not only did we buy the Ford F-150 but a week later we came back and purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion Sport! I have shared my experience with everyone I know!!! I must also give some kudos to Janet Mastruserio! What a remarkable lady! We both appreciated the time she took to explain every detail to us so we knew what we were agreeing to. Unfortunately, due to some past debt that we’ve been working on but still dragging our score down. Janet gave us some pointers to help our score going forward and I have complete confidence she fought hard to get us the most competitive rates she could under the circumstances. I understand Janet is retiring and really hope that Beechmont Ford finds a way to keep her on a part-time basis and she is a gem! These are just a few remarks about why we feel strongly about the positive experience we received from Beechmont Ford and I assure you with service like that we will certainly be back! For now, I’m all over my new Fusion Sport!!!

Unique ‘K-Bag’ helps F-150 outperform competition in crash tests
The all-new 2009 Ford F-150 – which features an exclusive air bag technology – provides better side-impact crash safety than the Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram and Nissan Titan, according to a new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The F-150 earned an IIHS “Top Safety Pick” last November and quadruple 5-star government crash test ratings in January – making it the only full-size pickup to achieve both top crash-test ratings. Combined with the most standard safety features in the segment, the F-150 is America’s safest full-size pickup.
