Reliability is a cornerstone metric that virtually every buyer researches before committing to a vehicle. It covers how a car performs under normal driving conditions and its ability to minimize breakdowns over its lifetime. Each year, J.D. Power's U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study evaluates which manufacturers deliver unwavering dependability.
Ford Clinches Better Rankings in J.D. Power's 2025 Study
Flagship models such as the Explorer, Mustang, and F-150 often grab headlines, and Ford's expansion into electric vehicles with the F-150 Lightning and Mach-E broadens its appeal. Ford's relentless pursuit of quality engineering ensures vehicles perform dependably for their owners. The 2025 J.D. Power results underscore the brand's enhancements.
This year, Ford jumped 10 places to achieve a more favorable rank of 13th. J.D. Power assessed the dependability of 2022 model-year vehicles over the past three years. This advancement signals that Ford's forthcoming models will likely maintain this upward momentum.
In the words of Josh Halliburton, Ford's executive director of quality, “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 enthusiasts can take heart in the brand's elevated reliability. Whether choosing the F-150 or Mach-E, drivers can look forward to dependable performance across all driving scenarios. From rugged adventures to extended road trips and everyday drives, Ford is built to deliver.
