Considering 2025 ST but concerned with reliability

[bn1574]

I had a 2019 sport that I drove for 65k miles, not one problem. Only thing I ever did was regular maintenance. That had the 3.5 ecoboost in it. Traded that in on a new 2023 ST that only has about 10k on it now, I have a work truck that I drive most of the time so that's the reason I'm only at 10k. I've never had any problems with the ST.

If you're happy with what you have then stick with it. Especially if you haven't had any issues. I don't think Fords have any more issues than the rest of the market. I bought my Escort LX new and drove it to the junk yard 15 years later with almost 400K miles on it. If the interior and body held up longer I would have kept it but the seats were cloth so they were junk, the dash was all cracked and it was rusted from within. My first Explorer I sold with 250K miles and it still ran fine. My Ranger work truck had almost 275K miles before one of the timing chains let go and ruined the engine. I now own another Explorer and it has 28K miles and has had no issues so far.

When you're #1 in recalls and #1 in warranty claims for multiple years running, you have more issues than the others.
