2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 F-350 Super Duty.

The 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty requires 7.0 quarts of 5W-30 engine oil to maintain its heavy-duty platform, but its documented reliability record demands equal attention from researchers. This specific model year carries a substantial burden, underscored by 106 total owner complaints and 17 separate recalls. With steering emerging as the top complaint area, the 2022 occupies a vulnerable position in the Super Duty's reliability history, meaning any evaluation of this vehicle must prioritize thorough checks of the steering system and recall remedies before deployment.

Multi-step torque procedures OEM · verified

Inspection Procedure (Upper) — tightening sequence 1 stages

Check the ball joint and boot for any damage. Step 3: Measure the ball joint deflection with a dial indicator that has a flexible arm by attaching between the axle and track bar at the ball joint. Dial indicator should be aligned as close as possible to the center line of the ball joint. Step 4: Push up and pull down on the track bar by hand until reading is on indicator. Step 5: Replace the ball joint if dial indicator readings exceed specifications.

Inspection Procedure (Lower) — tightening sequence 1 stages

Check the ball joint and boot for any damage. Step 3: Measure the ball joint deflection with a dial indicator that has a flexible arm by attaching between the axle and wheel knuckle at the lower ball joint. Dial indicator should be aligned as close as possible to the center line of the lower ball joint. Step 4: Push in and pull out on the wheel and tire assembly at the top and bottom by hand until reading is on indicator. Step 5: Replace the ball joint if dial indicator readings exceed specifications.

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 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty top in one area — the steering, 10 of 106 reports (9%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 17 recall campaigns target the steering, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 2 of the reports describe a crash and 1 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the steering 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.
