I wouldn't do it unless you spring for a warranty. These vehicles are great when they run, bit Ford quality seems to be iffy. I've only had one major repair, but it was a doozy.
Repair/Maintenance by Me
Plugs were done around 90k, causing misfires and stumbles. Boots ripped and it was pain getting the rubber pieces out.
Fan blower resister melted.
Rear camera plug needed repair twice.
Rear struts done at 120k
Throttle body replaced around 100k
All brake pads and rotors replaced around 110k.
Dealership
And the biggie, head gasket at 120k by the dealership for 4k. Warranty covered all but $300.
The turbo recirculating valve leaked. $300
I suggest springing for the lower mileage one and getting an extended warranty. I've actually considering trading my 2017 for another 2017 with lower miles, so I can re-up on the warranty and it's easier to get a model with HD Tow.
