Thanks. Solid perspective and don’t dispute. We used the hell out it for work and did do full synthetic at 3-5K and tranny transfer at 70k.
We appreciate the perspective as we fell in love driving it for work because it worked perfectly in the shitty places we have to go for work. Decision time.
Replying to my previous with an update. Also posted on TSB Thread
Not excellent news.

Hello 6G. Looking to see if there are other cases out there such as ours.

Update here:
We have 2.3 with over 100k Miles and are currently in the shop with what seems to be a catastrophic failure at cylinder 3. Have fantastic dealer and they are on with Ford Corporate to determine a solution. There seems to be some buzz in the Ford Tech community on this as...
We are over 100k with a 2021 2.3 and the 2nd and 3rd valve began to fail and are awaiting word from our dealer. Will be going there tomorrow but this sounds familiar to the early autopsy we are reciving from Dealer. Has been flawless until a few days ago then it went from timing issues, to...
I have been gleefully running A/T3W’s for almost 65k miles in 20% Sand, 30% s#itty winter mountain roads and dirt. Reading this thread with folks that know, I sense that I will have regrets with an impending scheduled tire replacement .
Thanks much and we are frequently on trails and surfaces like those you shared. We find ourselves in Rocky Mountain rocky mud, slushy double ruts, and Eastern colorado sand dunes. We have to wheel to remote locations for work, so tend to roll gently, and have only had a couple of rubs on rocks...
Thanks. Sorry you got dinged. That is the haunting worry. Glad it worked out.
Just hit 110k. Still smooth.
Did Transmission and all fluids around 77k

@mpeugeot
Where are you now
We did our Transmission/Transfer Case Fluids around 75K at a Ford OEM Service shop.
Went well except make sure the fluids are fully topped or else there will be gear noise.

Film. The 6G helps deliver us to winter and summer action sports, architecture, and an espionage film on the current slate. Our 6G has ridden out flash floods, blizzards, avalanches, quick sand, mud slides, snakes, scorpions, Huntsman-Fiddler-Black Widow Spiders.
Humans have shot at us...
Years late to this thread but pleased to have found it!
Sure Area 51 is a popular color. At one point it was fairly fresh.
No matter. I still love it.
I am pleased to say these are actual work locations.
Our 6G spends roughly 50% of its time in a variety of bonafide 4WD terrain and earns its...
