When you shop for a new vehicle, you want more than great technology, impressive capability, or eye-catching design. You want confidence that your vehicle is built to last. That's why we're excited to share some outstanding news for Ford customers. Ford has been recognized as the #1 Mainstream Brand in the 2026 J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS)—an achievement that reflects Ford's continued commitment to building dependable, high-quality vehicles.
What Is Initial Quality?
The J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality Study measures problems experienced by new-vehicle owners during the first 90 days of ownership. It is one of the automotive industry's most recognized benchmarks for manufacturing quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.
Earning the top spot means Ford owners are experiencing fewer issues early in vehicle ownership than owners of other mainstream brands.
Ford Trucks Continue to Set the Standard
Ford's legendary truck lineup also stood out in this year's study.
Both the Ford F-150® and Ford Super Duty® earned top honors in their respective segments, reinforcing Ford's reputation for building trucks that customers depend on every day, whether they're heading to work, towing a trailer, or exploring the outdoors.
Quality Goes Beyond the Factory
Building a quality vehicle is only part of the ownership experience. Ford continues to invest in innovative ways to make vehicle ownership easier and more convenient.
From advanced engineering and extensive testing to convenient service options like Ford Mobile Service*, the focus is on delivering a better ownership experience long after you drive off the lot.
