'21 with 82k miles. Had to replace water pump because the pulley was whining. Rear shocks were replaced due to clunk. Front axle was slinging grease so that was replaced. All those were done under basic warranty. Other than that, not really any issues. Surprising since I wrecked it about 6 months after I got it and did 40k worth of damage. Cab came off, front frame section replaced, basically they had to take the whole truck apart and put it back together.

Just over 63k on my 21. I know I have bad IWE's but can't get the dealer to determine that. I haven't even taken it in to have them look at it because it is a waste of my time for them to tell me they didn't notice anything wrong. I have had the exhaust rattle fixed and recently noticed a rattle of some sort in the interior. Some random gremlins from time to time that come and go away. In most cases, the issue is only once or twice and never see it again. I also had a random dead battery 3 times, but hasn't happened for awhile. Still using the original battery. Just replace my tires a couple thousand miles ago. Other than that, no other issues.

I know my IWEs are bad too. Feel that rumbling feel in the front at low speeds intermittently that will go completely away in 4A or 4H. Dealer's are frustrating with how quick they are to say they didn't find anything.

2021 with just under 60K. Pretty sure at least one of the IWEs need replaced, just haven't had time to get it into the shop. Have extended warranty to 125K. I've done front/rear diff/transfercase fluid exchanges. Transmission fluid/filter. Replaced the rear diff cover with the fP one and the transmission pan with the B&M one for easier fluid service. I plan on keeping it long term since the newer ones seem to come with less a less for more and more. I tow regularly with mine (6x8 trailer and 20' boat). Replaced the tires around 45K miles. Planning for a shock rebuild in the next year or so.
I bought the 8 year, 100,000 mile premium care Ford ESP and I'm in a '21 with about 45K miles. So far, so good.
That’s cool. Do they roll the oil changes in with the premium care ford ESP as well as extended bumper to bumper warranty coverage? I currently have premium care with oil changes /tire rotation on mine. It expires at 36k miles though.

You did some tasteful/good upgrades. Your YouTube channel is cool, has some great raptor content.

Appreciate it. I need more Raptor stuff to be honest, but since it's primarily a firearm channel, I haven't done nearly as much as I'd like to. have thought of starting a dedicated gear head/Raptor channel.
