2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 F-250 Super Duty.

The 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty continues Ford's heavy-duty full-size pickup platform as a work-oriented truck designed for serious towing and hauling demands. With only 7 total owner complaints recorded thus far and 4 recalls issued, this model year shows a notably low complaint volume compared to typical vehicle lifecycles, though the Electrical System has emerged as the primary area of concern among those reports. The limited number of complaints relative to the truck's production volume and segment expectations suggests that early reliability indicators are favorable for the 2026 model year, positioning it among the better-performing iterations in the Super Duty's recent history for initial quality.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty lead in one area — the electrical system, 2 of 7 reports (29%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 1 of the reports describe a crash and 1 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
