Reliability verdict for the 2022 Ford F-150

With a 66/100 reliability score versus a 63/100 segment average, the 2022 Ford F-150 lands slightly above the class norm. That points to mixed but marginally better-than-typical dependability rather than standout strength. As the second year of this generation, the data reflects a model still accumulating real-world track record.

Issue reports cluster most heavily around the powertrain and electrical system, with a smaller but noticeable share falling into unknown or other categories. That concentration suggests the bulk of buyer exposure is tied to a few core systems rather than being evenly spread across the truck. Recalls are elevated, indicating more factory-corrected items than a limited recall profile would imply.

Overall, the data supports a moderate reliability risk level.
