It’s the same engine in the gen2/3. It’s been out since 2017. 5 years is plenty of time to put some mileage on a vehicle. I’m aware the Gen 3 just came out but in reference to the engine there is no difference therefore the data should apply to our Gen 3’s.
Same engine that’s been tweaked a little; try reading @GooseTuned post about it for starters. Nobody here has a “high mileage“ Gen 3 is all I’m saying.

I have 68k on my 2018. I bought the truck specifically because it had the 3.5L TT EB engine and 10spd trans. It hasn’t seen inside a dealer shop as I do all my own mods/maintenance.

I’ve been running my own tunes, baselined on the Stage2+ 93 Cobb OTS map. I’ve run my E10-93 or E50-93 tune(s) the whole time with zero problems. In fact, the truck runs better as the mileage increases. I’m still running the original spark plugs that so many say are terrible(!).

My 1/4 mile et/mph on E10-93 is 13.1@104 and on E50-93 is 12.7@108.

The engine is 100% stock You would need to spend some big bucks to get the 6.2 v8 near those numbers.

You will find that most love their ecoboost raptor. Sure, ecoboost is fun, but be prepared to pay for engine work along the way. I believe that oil consumption and these cam phaser problems are really the only part/supplier/design/tuning issues. To me, those are a big deal and why I would not chance buying one. Now, we see turbo failures, so add that for what to watch. I would not spend my money on something that has these things to worry about. Maybe some don’t have these problems, or people who do don’t care (warranty?… but who pays for the next failure?). I am not sure why people are spending a premium to potentially have these problems. If you look at the fleet 6.2, that engine is definitely not as fun, but has a massively better background. You just don’t see widespread issues on that 6.2. Sure, there are hit and miss engines with bad build quality, but there were no recalls or TSBs on it. Food for thought, and definitely an unpopular opinion in the fanboy eco world. Eco owners are really triggered when anyone question’s anything about the ecoboost.
You were right about triggering someone.

Its good to hear positive things about the eco boost vs The this is broken, that is broken posts. It makes me feel better about the day I make the jump up to a newer raptor which will happen someday.
