Ford is somewhere around the middle out of all the manufacturers as far as recalls go. Not great, but not terrible. But if you think their trucks are trash, you either have never owned a truck, talked to anyone about trucks, or read anything about trucks. F-150s are the go-to, absolute best trucks out there. If you treat a F-150 right, you can easily get 300k+ miles on it. With any other truck I've owned, I always started getting nervous around the 150 mark because shit started falling apart in a hurry.
