Hey y’all,
We currently own a 2009 Escape with 282,000k and a 2007 Mustang with 323,000k. I like to keep my vehicles for a long time and maintain them meticulously - once I find something I like to drive, I keep on driving it.
That said, the cyber orange BS Badlands will likely be the next horse to join the stable as we intend to have kids in the next couple years.
Since I buy for reliability and longevity, I’ve been worried about the many issues online and the class action lawsuit affecting the 2013-2019 2.0 EcoBoost motors. Does the BS BL use the carryover motor from the 2019 Escape? If not, does anyone have access to Ford documentation outlining any changes made to the cylinder heads?
I guess I’m just looking for some confidence that the BS will last to at least 200k. It seems that most of the 2.0 EcoBoost engines in the Escapes failed between 60k-80k.
