Another thing to remember - this is not REALLY a new truck - it is mostly the same as what has been available in the rest of the world since 2011 (or 2012). The powertrain is different, but the 10 speed trans has been in F-150's for something like 3 years and the 2.3 has been in both the Mustang and Focus. So there isn't a whole lot that is truly new on this truck. It is one reason I took the plunge and ordered a first year vehicle. For a first year vehicle, I think it is a pretty safe bet.
Probably the biggest issue I've seen here on the forums is the lack of experience in the service bays. There is no experience, so they have to talk to Ford which can take some time. That, coupled with some difficult to get parts in a few cases has made for some bad repair experiences. As time goes on, and the service techs get more experience with the truck and parts shortages even out, things will improve greatly. I think the worst of those kinds of issues are (hopefully) over.
