The trio received 12 Top Safety Pick and 5 Top Safety Pick+ ratings, the latter requiring good or acceptable headlights on every trim level of a particular model.

Volvo scored the most Top Safety Pick + ratings, however, with nine models making the cut.

The Ram 1500 crew cab is the only pickup on either list, with a Top Safety Pick rating, but also the only model from a Stellantis brand, which includes Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler.
