Ford F-150 best and worst years
Each year is compared with the typical (middle) complaint count of the half-ton trucks we cover from the same model year, using owner complaints filed with NHTSA. Comparing within a year is fairer than one overall ranking, because older trucks have had more time to collect complaints.

Years not listed are too new to compare fairly, have too few trucks to compare against, or NHTSA lumps them in with other trucks. ⚠ marks years with a well-known costly problem that complaint counts alone don't show.
