Every F-Series model year from 2004 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Pickup Truck of the same year.
Across 22 scored model years the F-Series needs fixing less often than its class, and repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2024 is its strongest, 2013 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Pickup Truck sold that same model year.

The line has moved around across 22 model years, with its weakest stretch in 2011–2020. This 2025 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every F-Series model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Pickup Truck of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2023–2025), the trouble concentrates in one place: tires & wheels. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Pickup Truck of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
All 21 Pickup Trucks from 2025, plotted by how often they need fixes and what those fixes cost.
2024 is the strongest F-Series model year on record, ranking #3 of 22 Pickup Trucks that year.
2013 is the weakest year in the model's history, ranking #11 of 12.
The 2025 F-Series ranks #4 of 21 Pickup Trucks — the upper quarter of its class.
Failure reports filed with NHTSA — submitted by vehicle owners and repair shops alike — weighted against US sales volumes so a high-volume model is not penalised for selling well, then benchmarked within segment and model year.
