80K miles on a 2011 6.2L SCAB.

The only issue is disappearing coolant. The truck needs a few ounces of coolant added per week. There are no apparent leaks (I've checked several times under the hood and under the truck while it was hot and/or running). No drips on garage floor, either. Engine oil is good - no evidence of a head gasket leak. No white "smoke" from the exhaust. I am completely mystified as to where the coolant is going.

Check your radiator cap. The seal may not be holding up, causing the system to not properly pressurize. This can obviously result in overheating but also coolant being lost to boiling at a lower temperature due to not being at the optimal pressure. I had to replace mine due to a small tear. Before this my coolant needed to be topped off monthly.

Other than the radiator cap I have replaced the brake pads, upgraded to 3.0s, replaced rear camera, replaced sunroof track ($900!) and needing my 3rd set of tires next year - 87k miles.

there is no interval (from ford) for the timing chain...but i can tell you its 330k miles (300,000 to be safe) it wasn't the chain rather the guides wearing out and the result was the chain jumping. No major damage, besides the hassle... however not going to fix the "conventional" way. stay tuned...
*note this is on my newly acquired 2011
