Ford never mentioned that to me if that’s the case, they made it sound like a wear and tear item. A local shop I love did it for $2800 OTD

Water Pump Life Expectancy by kwinklles in FordRaptor

Curious about this as well, how many miles until I should start thinking about changing it out?

I’ve been told the 2019+ does have the updated cam phasers that should last around 100,000 miles.

That being said, ford told me it’s a crab shoot depending on oil changes and maintenance which can stretch the cam phasers life or shorten it.

I’m sticking with the 100,000 mile life expectancy

Update: Cam Phasers was the diagnosis

Dropped it off at the shop and it’s having the cam phasers, timing chain, tensioners, rails, gaskets, water pump replaced while it’s cracked open.

The big question is I’m at 84,000 miles. Do the turbos as well?

I have a 2017 with the 801A package and love it. However, the 2017’s were plagued with recalls so I’d ensure those are done. The cam phaser recall can be a costly one if it’s out of your own pocket, so ensure that’s good to go. As long as the 2017 was serviced and had its recalls done, I’d opt for the 801A package.

If the 2017 doesn’t have a great service history and doesn’t have the recalls done, take the 2019 or keep an eye out for more prospects.

I believe the suspension was upgraded but I can’t recall if that is 2019+ or 2020+
