Vehicle reliability is a key consideration that almost all buyers research before settling on a car. It speaks to a vehicle's ability to operate as expected day in and day out and its knack for avoiding failures over time. J.D. Power's annual U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study evaluates which brands uphold their reliability claims.
Ford's Noteworthy Performance in J.D. Power's 2025 Dependability Survey
Every year, models like the Explorer, Mustang, and F-150 capture attention, and Ford's EV portfolio, including the F-150 Lightning and Mach-E, adds to its appeal. Ford dedicates itself to producing vehicles that deliver consistent performance and peace of mind. The latest findings from J.D. Power reinforce Ford's dedication to dependability.
In the 2025 study, Ford improved dramatically, jumping 10 spots to finish 13th. J.D. Power based its ranking on the performance of 2022 model-year vehicles over three years. This upward trajectory is promising for consumers considering Ford's upcoming models.
Ford's executive director of quality, Josh Halliburton, said, “We're encouraged by the progress we're making to improve quality while staying focused on tougher testing and rigorous monitoring of new vehicles to ensure they are as good as they can be when they leave the factory.”
Ford customers can be confident in the brand's improved reliability. Models such as the F-150 or Mach-E now come with even greater assurance of long-term dependability. Whether you're tackling rugged trails, planning lengthy drives, or managing routine commutes, Ford's vehicles deliver reliability. Our dealership is ready to help you find the Ford models that excel in dependability.
