What Is the Safety Rating of the Ford F-250 and F-350?

No official US organization gives a Ford Super Duty safety rating, which is typical for heavy-duty pickups. However, according to J.D. Power, the 2024 Ford Super Duty truck's safety rating for the F-250 is fantastic. For Quality and Reliability, the F-250 scored 83/100.³ The Ford Super Duty reliability rating for 2024 beats competitors like the GMC Sierra 2500 HD and the Ram 2500.³

While no similar F-350 safety rating exists – nor does J.D. Power have a 2025 F-250 safety rating as of this writing – you can believe in these heavy-duty models to continue elevating the lives of hard-working Americans for years to come with a three-year/36,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper warranty.²
