How we verify Ford specifications

Every figure on these 4 nameplates is checked against owner’s manuals, Ford service documentation, and NHTSA recall and complaint records, then labelled with how confident we are in it. Where a specification is safety-relevant and we could not confirm it to that standard, the page says so rather than guessing. Problems and recalls are attributed to the model years they actually affect, so a page tells you whether an issue applies to your car rather than to the generation in general.
