I check the cover and cluster housing. I must be lucky fit looks good. Build date 11/27/22. I’m having Max Pro 80 ceramic film put on the windshield. A clear film that cuts down the heat and uva rays on the dash. Had this on my last three fords, you can park it in 90 degree heat, you can lay your hand on dash barley warm feel. Having it installed on rear passenger windows and the rest of the tinted glass. Also the hood front fenders and front bumper & headlights will have paint protection film installed to prevent rock chips.

Sometimes this comes down to unreasonable customers you can’t please, sometimes it’s lemons. There’s always a mix on these forums. I’d say quality has suffered a bit since covid.

It will be a year in April that we bought our 2019 Max platinum. I adore it. Every single day, I get in and feel great about what I'm driving. Our kids love it too. Even almost a year later and they still comment about how great it is. I do agree there are more issues post covid. But that is across all brand and all models. It's not a Ford problem but an industry problem. More of the components need to be made in the USA. I think there will be a course correction in the future.

Read a forum for the new Wagoneer or Suburban. Facebook, etc. is full of nonstop issues.
I'd say relative to other American made vehicles, it's pretty good. Compared to Toyota, more issues.

My 2019 Platinum has been one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve owned.
I own a '21 Limited with HD towing, 22" rims, CCD and have 33K (17,500 towing a 6K trailer) since our purchase in Nov. '21. I've had a leaking LH front shock, the battery junction box recall both covered under warranty and (3) misaligned LH/RH doors which I fixed. Other than these issues, our truck has been really solid. The ride is great even with the (can't wait to replace) Hankook's and the overall build quality seems very good. I give my overall build quality a B grade. Since we will keep the Expo for the next several years, we purchased the Premium extended warranty for up to 150,000 miles which cost us $2300. One more CCD shock replacement will almost cover that expense. We looking for many years of enjoyment with our ride. I would buy it again...

As other have mentioned - people mostly jump on forums when they have problems or to modify. So it’s observer bias here for the reaponses. No one takes time to make a post about anything when it goes right. My experience isn’t with anything model year 22 (owned 18 and now 20 expedition) but no problems here.
Nobody comes to the forums to say that nothing is wrong.
I just think the entire vehicle market is out of control. SUV's are upwards near $100K!!! This is Porsche territory. I feel for the money Ford is asking, these vehicles should not have historical and current problems such as coolant leaks, turbo wastegate noises, gaps in the instrument housing cluster and the historical vehicle fires. I know there will be some that may have a different view but for my hard earned money, I would expect better from Ford.

Especially a small forum like this. Offroad forums seem to give the best vibes on what’s really a problem. Even f150 forums. Whenever a vehicle a a potential for heavy mods the forums get better, complaints happen everywhere. It doesn’t make it better and it still sucks that you have your issues. I myself have an f150 raptor with 88k miles and I’ve had very few issues. It’s taken plenty of abuse. At the same time I’ve heard the auto industry has had so many part challenges across the board it’s unheard of for parts to have issues in this time of crisis. Ford’s CEO is revisiting and addressing quality so they know there can be improvements made which is a good thing

Mine has been fine. You mostly will only hear about the issues and nothing from everyone else.

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.

Unfortunately, this is largely true. It's often difficult to get a truly high quality product for any price. :/
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.

This might just save the little hair I have left! i'm going to try this when i get home
