Prospective owner

It changes depending on drive mode. Its what shows in normal mode on a 2020

Howdy all, I am prospective new Raptor owner that has patiently been perusing cars.com and autotrader for the last 8-10 months waiting for just the right deal. However, in a recent conversation with a friend who is a mechanic, he tried to get me to steer clear of them all together, mainly because of the ecoboost engine. He says he has to work on them more than most other makes, and tried to steer me to GMC (worth noting, he owns an independent shop and is a longtime friend, so I know he’s not being biased by any sort of financial incentive). However, I have driven a yukon for the last five years and was really set on making the switch to a Raptor. How reliable is the ecoboost engine? And for that matter, how reliable is the Raptor in general? Any reason I should avoid? While I am definitely looking to make the switch, I will say that I’ve not had any major issues with my yukon over the last five years and would hate to buy a new truck and have more issues. I realize being on a raptor forum, the responses may be biased, but any insight is appreciated! Should I go for it?

Is he a real mechanic like a master ase tech with years of dealership experience or a automotive engineer? This is my 3rd raptor and only a sunroof making noise and the shifter chrome strip lifting off. It is a cheap sticker.
