ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Ford F-250 Tremor?
For the 2022 model year, the F-250 Tremor presents a complex safety profile, most notably its 2-star rollover rating and a 32 percent rollover risk probability. These figures are the most distinctive safety characteristics of this specific model year, particularly given the Tremor's lifted, off-road-oriented stance. The vehicle earned an overall NHTSA Safety Index of 78 out of 100, placing it in the Average band. This represents a 5-point decline from the 2021 model's Strong band score of 83. The primary drivers of this decline are a defect record sub-score of 14 out of 20 and an avoidance-tech score of 6 out of 10. The latter reflects that both forward collision warning and lane departure warning remain optional rather than standard equipment. Crash protection stands as the strongest pillar, scoring 58 out of 70, anchored by perfect 5-star frontal and side-impact results from NHTSA. A genuine positive is the zero-recall record for this year. However, the 111 owner complaints cluster heavily around powertrain, engine, and electrical components, a pattern to monitor as these vehicles age.
