New Gen. F150 owners, how many problems
I've had what I consider more than normal issues with my truck. Only one serious issue while most are insignificant. Here's my list: Serious: Torque converter going out (replaced) Not So Seri...

My eco was the first truck I've ever had in for significant problem/warranty work at low miles. It ingested water while towing in a thunderstorm. Although I knew about the potential for the problem and that it was very likely to happen when I hammered on it in those conditions, it still killed my confidence in the truck. Only the left bank catalytic converter needed replacement. No other issues from the incident.
Aside from this, there were no other issues or causes for concern. The truck was a very nice rig compared to the GMs I've owned.
Had a front axle seal on a GM 1/2 ton leaking oil before the first oil change. Another GM 1/2 ton had a front axle seal go out at about 20k. Another of my GM 1/2 tons had a front sealed wheel bearing go out at around 30k. From the time it started making noise to the time I finally pulled into the dealer was only about 20 miles and it was bad enough the brake caliper pistons started getting pushed back in and I had no brakes on the first pump of the pedal! My last GM 1/2 ton with the 5.3 and AFM had one or more of the lifters that would collapse and not pump up for a minute or so on occasion. Sounded terrible, like a 2000 model year diesel. Main seal was also seeping at 50k when I traded for the F150HD.
Other than that, trouble-free:) Fingers crossed on the 6.2.
