2022 Ford F-150 vs 2022 Toyota Tacoma
Two trucks from the same model year, side by side. Every figure is a raw NHTSA/EPA count — not normalized by how many were sold.
Side by side: 2022 Tacoma has fewer recorded recall campaigns (3 vs 22), and 2022 F-150 has fewer recorded owner complaints (0 vs 56). 2022 F-150 carries more NHTSA investigations (2 vs 0). Only 2022 Tacoma has NHTSA crash ratings, and both have EPA fuel-economy data.
| Metric | 2022 Ford F-150 | 2022 Toyota Tacoma |
|---|---|---|
| Recall campaigns | 22 | 3 |
| Owner complaints | 0 | 56 |
| NHTSA investigations | 2 | 0 |
| NHTSA crash rating | Not rated | Rated by NHTSA |
| EPA fuel economy | Available | Available |
Where these two actually differ
2022 Toyota Tacoma carries 19 fewer recall campaigns (3 against 22). Every campaign listed is repaired free by a dealer regardless of which side it falls on, so this gap matters most if the specific car you are looking at still has work outstanding.
2022 Toyota Tacoma has drawn 56 more owner complaints (56 against 0). Complaints are self-reported to NHTSA and scale with how many were sold, so treat the pattern of what owners report as more informative than the total.
Only 2022 Toyota Tacoma has been crash-tested by NHTSA. The other has no published NCAP result, which is an absence of data rather than a poor one, and means the two cannot be compared on crash performance at all.
EPA fuel-economy figures exist for both, so running costs can be compared on the individual reports.
Counts are raw NHTSA and EPA totals for each model year. They are not adjusted for how many of each vehicle were sold, so a high-volume model will tend to show more of everything — a larger complaint count is not by itself evidence of a worse car. Use the per-vehicle reports for the underlying records.
How to read this
- A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
- Complaint totals are not normalized by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
- Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
