ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Ford F-350?
The 2024 Ford F-350 has no NHTSA crash-test ratings, nor are there tested sibling years to reference. Its federal safety record rests solely on its recall and complaint history. Three recalls are on record, all involving active-safety or driver-assistance systems. These include trailer brake control electronics, back-over prevention software, and a camera sensor water intrusion issue specific to the 2023-2024 Super Duty tailgate. The 42 owner complaints include four alleged crashes and two alleged fires. The electrical system accounts for 15 of these unverified allegations. The concentration of complaints in electrical and forward collision avoidance categories aligns with two of the three recall subjects; this pattern should be noted when reviewing open recall status by VIN. The F-350's "Moderate" burden band indicates a mid-range level of recall and complaint activity compared to the broader vehicle population tracked by NHTSA, but this is not an indicator of crash protection.
