Reliability wise, I would figure that the cab portion would be well sorted. The cab itself is the same as the F-150. The unique body pieces are the frame, bed, and front fenders. Those are static parts which really shouldn't have an issue unless they pull a Toyota (tailgates). Suspension is new, but it looks to largely be an evolution of what they've had in the past.
Engine's the same basically, but I wonder if they've moved on from the CP4? So if you were comfy with the 2015+ trucks, I don't see the 2017 having any real possible "Mechanical" issues in addition to what those models had. I believe they're still going to use the 6R140 transmission which is already a stout unit. So I wouldn't be afraid to jump on a 2017.
