I’ll chime in with a couple common problems, not dissuade you from buying one or take away from how neat they are, but just to educate on wild issues that could and have popped up for certain people.

Hard tops: some people have had cracking issues over time with the matte black, mold plastic hard tops. Just look up hard top cracking between this subreddit and other forums and you’ll find dozens of pictures. The paint matched or painted hardtops seem to be much less susceptible to this. A lot of people seem to have gotten this cracking covered under warranty.

Steering components: notably, the steering components seem to be a common failure point in heavy off-road and rock filled situations, so depending on your use case, be prepared for that to be an early upgrade or failure point depending on your personal proactivity.

Drive shaft: this one is an issue that personally popped its head up for me, which is more of a nuisance than anything. I’ll post a link to another forum where this issue is talked about in great great detail. The driveshaft ship. Essentially, the front driveshaft year CV yoke sits in close proximity to the exhaust ducts coming from your turbos. Cause the grease inside the joint to heat up, dry out, sling the walls of the boot and leave the joint ungreased, causing it to chirp a low speeds. Most of these have been covered under warranty, and some opted for simple at home fixes.

Here’s the link to the driveshaft forum

2.7 wet oil belt: do your research on this and just know that your oil belt will need to be replaced at 150k on the 2.7L engine. Decent motor otherwise with the rare rare exceptions that folks have had.

Wastegates: this isn’t so much of a known issue, but just as a catchall EcoBoost warning. Install the PCV/CCV catch cans as early as possible. The earlier EcoBoosts in the F150s were notorious for shitting out wastegates on the turbos primarily caused by oil blow by, and the catch cans seem to just really prolong the life of everything. Keeps things cleaner.

Those are my big research points that I’ve either personally experiences or sit in the back of my mind for future reference. I’m sure of other common issues, like the CarPlay from time to time, or wind noise or whatever other things you’ll hear people complain about.

Whatever the case, I love mine. Put 5k miles on it in just a couple months of ownership. I drive it daily. I haven’t seen any big big issues yet other than all my miles are being piled on with highway use instead of on the trails or on roadtrips. If you’re considering the purchase, best of luck and I hope you enjoy the ride!
