2022 Ford F-650

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

The 2022 Ford F-650 rides on the 650 chassis and arrives with a reliability profile marked by 555 owner complaints — the power train leading all categories — and 22 recalls. That complaint volume stands in stark contrast to the model's longer history from 1999 through 2022, where annual totals peaked at just 10 in 2001 and bottomed out at a single complaint in 2012. The divergence suggests the 2022 model year occupies an unusual position in the F-650's reliability trajectory, warranting close scrutiny for researchers tracking durability trends.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

The Ford F-650 has seen fluctuating federal activity across its production history, with a significant peak in Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) around 2000 followed by a period of relative stability between 2007 and 2017. Compared to 2021, which recorded four complaints and three recalls, the 2022 model shows a decrease in federal activity with only two complaints and one recall. For the 2022 model year, the data identifies 18 crash complaints and 6 fire complaints, with the primary complaint areas listed as Power Train (105), Unknown Or Other (50), Electrical System (46), and Exterior Lighting (44). The provided data does not specify the root causes for these issues. Falling at the end of the recorded arc, the 2022 model represents a downward trend in recalls and TSBs relative to the immediate prior year. Given this reduction in federal recalls and TSBs compared to 2021, this is a good year to buy.
