The 2022 F-250 had not been tested by the NHTSA at the time of writing, but last year's model has. The 2021 F-250 Regular Cab model received an overall four-star rating from the NHTSA, while the Super Cab 4x2 achieved a better five-star overall rating. The 4x4 Crew Cab, interestingly, has a lower four-star rating. The Super Cab has not been fully tested but a 4x4 variant managed four stars for the frontal crash and three stars for the rollover test. The IIHS has not yet published an F-250 crashworthiness review.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
Although every F-250 pickup truck is equipped with the basic safety systems, but the most advanced driver-assist technologies are only standard on higher-spec models. The base XL comes with trailer sway control, hill start assist, tire pressure monitoring, a rearview camera, six airbags, ABS brakes, and traction control, and stability control.
The better-equipped XLT gets blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, trailer tow, and pre-collision assist with automatic braking, and forward collision warning. All of this is part of Ford's Co-Pilot 360 suite. Lariat models get rear parking sensors, while the King Ranch adds rain-sensing wipers and the ultimate trailer tow camera system with trailer reverse guidance. Four cameras make it much easier to maneuver the large truck when towing a trailer. The top-spec models come with adaptive cruise control, while the Limited is the only model to get lane-keeping alert and adaptive steering as standard.

For the last decade, the F-250 has consistently scored more than 80 out of a possible 100 points according to J.D. Power's rating. In 2022, it achieved 81 points. According to the NHTSA, certain F-250s were affected by six recalls for a label missing tire information, inoperative windshield wipers, trailer brakes that could fail, a damaged driveshaft that could fracture, an airbag cover that could break apart in a crash, and front door side impact sensors that could be damaged. Many of the same recalls affected 2021 models, including one for a secondary fuel filter that could leak.
If anything does go wrong, the 2022 F-250 comes with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty (100,000 miles for the diesel), five years of corrosion perforation coverage, and roadside assistance for five years or 60,000 miles.
