Ford F-150 reliability - better stats
I am grateful that this forum has provided permission to post here, and do link back to it from all of my results pages for the F-150, along with sharing these results in the thread.
We've updated the our reliability stats for the F-150 to include owner experiences through September 30, 2012.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2003: 63, about average, small sample size
2002: 59, better than average, small sample size
2001: 40, better than average
2000: 42, better than average, small sample size
1999: 35, better than average, very small sample size
1998: 71, better than average, very small sample size
1997: 113, about average, very small sample size
We'll have further updates in February and May. With more owners involved, we could provide more precise information and fully cover all model years from 1998 on.
