Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 F-450 Super Duty.
The 2025 Ford F‑450 Super Duty continues the lineage of Ford’s heavy‑duty platform, arriving as the latest iteration of the model’s robust pickup architecture. Across its first year of data the truck logged only two owner complaints, with the wheel assembly emerging as the most frequent issue and four separate recalls recorded. When placed against the broader complaint history from 2009‑2014—where the peak was two complaints in 2011 and the low was a single complaint in 2010—this year’s figures suggest a consistency that aligns with the model’s generally reliable reputation.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The provided federal record spans 2009 to 2014, showing a consistently low complaint volume—never exceeding two in any year—and a recall pattern that held steady at three annually before dropping to a single recall in 2014, with no investigations or TSBs reported throughout. For the 2025 model year, the data indicates only two complaints, one concerning the wheels and one the power train, with zero crash or fire incidents, suggesting a continuation of the generation’s minimal complaint trend. However, the dataset does not include recall or investigation figures for 2025, so a complete reliability picture remains unavailable. Given the sparse complaint history and the absence of safety-related flags in the available numbers, the 2025 F-450 Super Duty appears to be a relatively uneventful year, but the missing recall data warrants caution before drawing a definitive conclusion.
