When buying new engine if 1st year can bring some reliability concerns - that's what warranty is for and Ford is giving 5 years warranty on powertrain + you can always buy extension.
My 2017 6.7 l is build on about 5th year of the production, yet it developed oil pan leak in less than 30k miles.
So even "experienced" design still need people paying attention on assemble lane.
