Among the primary factors buyers assess before purchasing a vehicle is dependability. This quality reflects a car's day-to-day performance and durability against mechanical setbacks over the years. J.D. Power conducts its U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study annually to identify the most reliable manufacturers.
Ford Makes Remarkable Strides in J.D. Power's 2025 Dependability Study
Headline-stealing models like the Explorer, Mustang, and F-150 help define Ford's reputation, and its venture into electrification with the F-150 Lightning and Mach-E expands its reach. Ford persistently focuses on engineering vehicles that owners can trust. The 2025 J.D. Power study highlights the gains Ford has made.
This year, Ford substantially improved, ascending 10 ranks to 13th place. The evaluation measured the performance of 2022 model-year vehicles over the past three years. These results give Ford owners confidence that newer models will keep this momentum going.
In the words of Ford's executive director of quality, Josh Halliburton: “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 devotees can celebrate Ford's notable gains in reliability. Whether you choose an F-150 or Lightning, you can rely on the outstanding dependability Ford now offers.
