Almost every car buyer investigates reliability before making a final decision. Reliability reflects how well a vehicle meets driving expectations and avoids mechanical failures over time. J.D. Power's annual U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study ranks automotive brands based on these criteria.
Ford Makes Major Moves in J.D. Power's 2025 Dependability Study
Ford staples like the Explorer, Mustang, and F-150 often dominate discussions, and the brand's electric offerings, including the F-150 Lightning and Mach-E, add to the buzz. Ford's consistent focus on rigorous engineering practices ensures its vehicles deliver dependable performance. The 2025 study from J.D. Power highlights these achievements.
Ford rose an impressive 10 positions this year, finishing 13th in dependability. J.D. Power reviewed the 2022 model-year fleet, analyzing its reliability over a three-year span. This performance should reassure Ford owners that the brand's future models will continue ascending in these rankings.
Josh Halliburton, Ford's executive director of quality, commented, “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 advocates have reason to celebrate the brand's improved reliability. Whether you opt for a Mustang, F-150, or Mach-E, you can depend on long-lasting performance and peace of mind. From off-road adventures to daily commutes, the Ford lineup is designed to excel.
