2017, 5 1/2 years.
Oil changes about every 5k (15-20% remaining)
2 sets wipers incl rear
2 sets brakes incl rotors
3 air filters.

Actual MPG 20.5 indicated, 19.3 miles/gallons pumped over the 100k miles
1 rh running board (turned into a stump)

Front power port rewired to support dash cam
Plugs changed @ 97k miles
Small weep hole drilled intercooler
1 taillight bulb
driving mostly suburban / rural, occasional interstate
approx 2k miles towing 6000 lb trailer.
No complaints. Well, the front seat headrests. I like to sit very straight, the headrests hold my head too far forward to do that.
I have driven over a million miles, through 8 vehicles. This one has been as near flawless as I could possibly have hoped for. Very quiet, very smooth, great power when needed. Always drive in 2H except offroad, Used 4L once, to pull a F350 out of mud. As you can tell from MPG, not an aggressive driver. Winter mileage about 1-1/2 mpg less than summer.
Not bragging, celebrating.
Watch it all turn to merde now.

Very. Been excellent for me. My '06 was no slouch, either despite the abuse of the previous owner.

very basic xlt, a shorty. My wife is the one that likes driving a small ranch style house. I prefer something more - - nimble.

I'm jealous. We have a 2016 XLT my wife drives around town and we road trip 3hrs to the inlaws. No towing. She isn't aggressive on the gas or the brakes.
101k miles.
I had to replace a blend door actuator in the back AC at around 55k.
The backup camera works 20% of the time since about 70k.
The driver side rear shock has felt like a pogo stick over speed bumps since about 40k.
Feels like passenger side has joined it in the past 10k.
A couple years ago I had what I thought was the infamous turbo coolant leak out of the passenger side that went away after a few weeks
Now I've got a definite coolant leak out of what seems like the water pump area that started a month or so ago.

Unless we come into dummy money or the quality of their vehicles DRASTICALLY improves, this will be the last Ford I ever own.

I feel the need to add my backstory to solidify others! Primarily city travel with some road trips. Light (utility) towing at best.

* 27k both rear shocks replaced (under warranty) as I noticed moisture on both
* 32k rear passenger side shock replaced, again
* 37k noticed paint corrosion on hood front lip, liftgate bottom lip. Ford repaired/repainted under corrosion warranty claim.
* 49k replaced rear HVAC blend door actuator
* 50k replaced all brake pads
* 52k replaced stock tires

Nice! My 2017 and 2016 have been flawless as well. I do have failing paint on my roof that needs to be addressed. Really like the engine in this truck, it’s a lot of fun to drive. I’m a bit surprised at the depreciation vs a Chevy suburban. They seem cheaper to buy vs a same year gm truck. I’ll never own a gm truck again due to problems with that 5.3 motor.

GM: Also persistent A/C problems, most models. Faulty evaporators and condensers, faulty routing of lines, etc. I hope they've gotten better. Also dealer service that I have dealt with is terrible for anything more complicated than an oil change. Your experience may vary.
