2019 Ford F-750

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 F.

Body TRUCKTransmission Automatic (S10)

The 2019 Ford F-750 stands as a heavy-duty workhorse within the Super Duty lineup, built on the rugged 750 chassis and engineered to tackle demanding vocational applications with its robust powertrain and automatic S10 transmission. Delivering a balance of efficiency and capability, this model achieves an EPA-estimated 19 city, 25 highway, and 21 combined mpg—figures that reflect its optimization for both hauling and operational economy. With 953 owner complaints filed, the 2019 model year falls within a broader trend of reliability fluctuations for the F-750, though its six recalls underscore the importance of addressing known issues to maintain fleet dependability. Positioned between the high-complaint 2017 model and the more stable 2009 iteration, this year represents a midpoint in the vehicle’s long-term reliability narrative, offering a pragmatic option for buyers prioritizing proven durability.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

Note that the federal record provided does not include a 2019 entry in the year-by-year series — the data skips from 2018 to 2021 — so any trend characterization for the target year must be inferred from the adjacent years and the target-year complaint summary. Across the full generation, owner complaints remain consistently low at 0–3 per reported year, but recall activity is variable and shows a modest upward shift in the most recent years, with 2021 and 2022 posting 2–3 recalls each against just 0–1 in most earlier entries. The 2017–2018 flank around 2019 logged only 0–3 complaints, 1 recall, and 8–11 TSBs, while 2021 jumped to 3 recalls and 13 TSBs, placing 2019 in a relatively calm trough just before that escalation. For 2019 itself, complaints concentrate heavily in Power Train (365) and Engine (139), with a combined Power Train/Engine category adding 41 more, plus 14 crash and 5 fire reports — material volumes for a medium-duty chassis, though the data does not specify root cause. Bottom line: 2019 is a defensible year to buy provided you secure a pre-purchase powertrain and engine inspection and verify that all applicable recalls and TSBs have been completed.
