Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 2 complaints on file for the 1995 Ford F-600 — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but 2 recall campaigns apply to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

“TRUCK WAS INVOLVED UNDER RECALL #97V-124, UNDERHOOD HARNESS, AND THE DEALER HAS NOT REPAIRED THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. *AK”
The record is thin — 2 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 2 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting the 1995 Ford F-600. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
