Curious, with all the issues you see on here about the transmission, shuddering, and cam and turbos I'm currious what the percentage that these issues are happening? I'm still on the side-line with my 3rd gen waiting for prices to level out or come down and had intended to buy a light-ly used 4th Gen. But the amount of issues I see is alarming. Or are we just seeing the reports of those with issues? How many of you out there have had no major issues with your 4th gen Expy?

The problem that you run into with these types of questions is that many people won't bother coming to a forum like this unless they have an issue, so there's a heavy sample bias. You may be better off trying to get that info from an F150 forum because there are many more F150 owners, and many of them have questions relating to general use or are interested in customizing them in some fashion. So you'll probably see more input from people that would visit the forums for a reason other than having a mechanical issue.

I hope I don’t jinx it, but we have had nothing serious crop up in three years and 12,000 miles. Now that the B-T-B warranty has expired, it’s on the ESP with deductibles. Fingers crossed

2018 Platinum at 30K with no problems. Only been to dealer for maintenance items like oil changes. Nervous about doing the s/w updates for the cam phasers/engine shudder. It's the old saying don't fix it if ain't broke. I have no rattle at start up. But I'm told if I don't do the software update, Ford won't cover anything related to cam phasers in the future . Other than the crappy Hankook OEM tires, the vehicle has been flawless. It willl be 4 years old in January.

I didn’t have the cam phaser shudder but I asked the dealer to do the recall software update. They did it and then promptly undid it as it caused the shudder! So it’s running just fine as-is!

No issues here on our 2020 max 301A XLT. Bought it last year in Dec when ford was running 12k off in rebates. Had never believed in buying brand new vehicle due to depreciation but x-plan pricing plus rebates was too good to pass up. Approaching 20k in mileage but no issues other than replaced tire due to nail. Don’t care for the Hankooks but other than that love the vehicle.

My 2018 Limited has been mostly problem free. I had my outside mirror software updated and battery replaced. Everything has been covered under warranty. It's been a great truck!

Get your expy and get in the game. Seems like reliable vehicles. Only had mine a few weeks but I'm in love and it's 2010. Can only imagine how much better the updated model experience would be.
