So far after 20k miles-

pass rear door adjusted when new, was not closing last 1/8 inch

driver side running board failed. Was ordeal as they “couldn’t recreate issue” which was total ********. Blamed battery for it, said I don’t drive enough, uh no. Ended up being replaced.

trans shifts hard into a couple gears when it’s cold outside, only first time through gears.

it’s been best vehicle I’ve had though. Most useful and comfortable. All have had at least some issues. Even our camry has windnoise since new they couldn’t fix and a rattling noise they did.

I’ve got over 16k on my ‘22 Plat Max since July including towing 8k lbs trailer MN to Jasper Canada and another MN to AZ road trip.
No complaints.
Coming from a ‘15 with 115k reasonably trouble free miles.
There is no perfect vehicle that I’m aware of.
Lost track of how many times I was at the dealer for warranty work on my ‘10 BMW 5 series wagon.
Sure some will have more problems than others and who knows what lies ahead.

We hear you but I can all but guarantee your experience at a BMW dealer was different from what most of us get from Ford/Lincoln. And I don't even mean thee lack of parts, backorders, etc, just the treatment and lack of blaming the owner for things like rattling turbos. that's half the issue with reliability issues, not always the issue itself.

I just purchased a used 2019 max expedition, and it is awesome! I also have a 2017 F150 with the same drivetrain and love it. The expedition is a much better ride than my F150.

only 300 some miles on our 2023 with non-CCD suspension. the ride quality is miles above our super crew 2020 F150 xlt. way better in snow and slush. and fit/finish is better on this than our F150

so far, quite happy

My 2023 with non-CCD suspension is pretty rough on city roads, or anything with expansion gaps on the road. For highway driving, it's a very comfortable ride! I'm on 22" wheels though, and I learned how rough the ride can be as a result. I swapped out the OEM General Grabber HTS60 tires and moved to the Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 and it's helped absorb some of the bumpiness and roughness of the drive. I just did a 4 hour drive from Dallas to Houston and felt like I was riding on pillows, such a smooth ride when on smooth pavement! Anyway I found the tires on sale at Walmart for $208/tire last week when Discount Tire was at $295/tire. Discount Tire matched their price and got me out the door for under $1,000. This was my first roadtrip with the better tires and it overall made the drive better for me. Now if only I could get my child's car seat headrest to stop rattling...

Like a child car seat headrest? We had a britax that rattled me into insanity. A folded over piece of cardboard paper wedged between the red heigh adjust tab and the black surrounding plastic fixed it until the day it was no longer needed.
