Mnay trucks fail the headlight test.

Owners of the top-selling pickup truck in the United States may be disappointed that it was among the poorest performers in a recent test of headlight effectiveness.

The number one seller, Ford's F-150, received multiple "poor" ratings on both its halogen and LED headlights in the new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an independent nonprofit research and communications organization. The study looked at the effectiveness of the headlights in 11 different 2016 and 2017 models of pickups.

Only one pickup truck, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline, earned a top rating of "good."
