Reliability is a primary concern for most car buyers. It defines a vehicle's ability to meet performance expectations during drives and avoid breakdowns as mileage accumulates. J.D. Power undertakes its annual U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study to quantify this and rank automakers on dependability.
Ford Notches Impressive Results in J.D. Power's 2025 Study
Ford consistently stands out with headline-grabbing vehicles like the Explorer, Mustang, and F-150. The F-150 Lightning and Mach-E's electric offerings showcase Ford's innovative spirit. The company's rigorous approach to vehicle development ensures dependable performance, and the 2025 J.D. Power findings reflect this.
Ford achieved one of the study's largest improvements, climbing 10 positions to finish 13th. J.D. Power evaluated the dependability of 2022 model-year cars over a three-year period. This achievement signals that Ford's next vehicle generation will likely continue this upward trend.
According to 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 celebrate the brand's elevated reliability. Ford provides steadfast performance if you're interested in a classic F-150 or the cutting-edge Mach-E. Ford's lineup is built for reliability, from challenging terrain to coast-to-coast journeys and everyday driving.
