Reliability is a critical factor that nearly every buyer considers before settling on a new vehicle. It refers to a car's ability to function as intended during daily drives and to minimize mechanical failures over time. J.D. Power's annual U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study identifies which automakers maintain high reliability standards.
Ford Achieves Notable Progress in the 2025 J.D. Power Dependability Survey
Ford's Explorer, Mustang, and F-150 routinely capture headlines, and its electric contenders like the F-150 Lightning and Mach-E showcase Ford's forward-thinking approach. Ford has invested heavily in quality assurance to guarantee that vehicles perform dependably for years. The 2025 study from J.D. Power underscores these efforts.
This year, Ford climbed 10 spots to claim the 13th position for dependability. J.D. Power assessed how 2022 model-year vehicles held up over the past three years. Such a marked advance suggests Ford's upcoming vehicles are set to continue this positive trend.
As Josh Halliburton, Ford's executive director of quality, stated, “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 make sure they are as good as they can be when they leave the factory.”
Ford supporters can take comfort in the brand's strengthened reliability. Whether choosing an F-150 or Mach-E, you can trust your Ford will continue to perform reliably. From challenging terrains to extensive road trips and daily commutes, Ford vehicles are engineered to endure.
