Ford F 150 Super Cab Gas
Problems & Worst Years

With 106 and 105 total occurrences respectively, the 2023 and 2024 gas Ford F-150 Super Cab post nearly identical complaint volumes — modest numbers both — but the content differs. The 2023 is the more serious file on paper: three of its sixteen problems carry safety severity, including six reports of unexpected acceleration without pedal input. Its volume leaders are more prosaic — air conditioning failure at 26 occurrences and owners waiting on unavailable parts for repair work at 22 — with parking brake malfunction (9) and water intrusion into electrical components (6) behind them.

The 2024's complaints are dominated by a single non-mechanical gripe: headlights described as too bright and blinding, at 48 occurrences nearly half the year's file, with no safety-severity problems reported at all. The rest is scattered and small — transmission issues at 10, electrical malfunction at 10, brake system complaints at 8, and more waiting-on-parts reports.

Small files reward proportionate reading. Nothing here suggests a systemic mechanical fault the way some model-year files in this database do, and the actionable items are almost all verifiable in an afternoon. Run the air conditioning hard on a 2023, cycle the parking brake, and have an inspector check for any evidence of water where wiring lives — that last one being the complaint most likely to hide. The unexpected-acceleration reports, though few, justify pulling any stored codes and asking the seller directly whether the truck has ever behaved unexpectedly at a stop or under braking.

Both years are recent, and that's the biggest caveat of all: complaint counts only reflect what owners have filed with NHTSA so far — not measured failure rates — and trucks this new have had little time to accumulate reports, so today's quiet file is a snapshot rather than a final grade. As with any used purchase, and more than usual with limited data, a pre-purchase inspection and the service history of the individual truck outweigh anything the early model-year statistics can tell you.
