My truck is too new to comment. Only 1000 miles. The only initial problem was a rubber band was left wrapped around my master cylinder and caught between it and the brake booster. I just removed it myself. It wasn't an issue other than in my head. I did have a serious problem with the truck I initially took delivery of, but that's a different story for another day. And it was just a factory screw up. Wound up in a different truck.

In a lot of cases it seems that people are quick to jump on the buy-back bandwagon. Let me be clear that some buy-backs are warranted. And I don't blame those people for wanting them. But a lot of people want a buy-back at the first sign of any trouble. Let's not forget that statistics state that almost every vehicle that rolls out of the factory will have at least one problem in the first 3 months. (Industry average is 93 out of 100.) The latest report has Ford at 83 / 100. Better than average, but still issues happen. These kinds of forums and people like sasquatch make mountains out of mole hills. They make it seem like a few minor problems are major engineering design flaws.
What is with these rubber bands left on the truck, I just found one when I installed the catch can under the engine cover, and on another video I saw on YouTube a guy was changing oil and found one by the oil filter, and now you....i kept the rubber band BTW, it's mine now

17k here - no issues other than a bad LED on my grill and a frozen door latch that was quickly sorted out by my dealer and no issues since. Love the truck and I always find an excuse to drive it. This is my first Ford - I have been GM through and through but got tired of waiting for something to compete with the Raptor. Made the switch and haven't looked back.

I know people are more likely to post negative reviews when they have a problem, but it seems the Gen 2 Raptor has some reliability issues. I already read several posts about issues with cam phasers, transfer cases, transmissions, leaks, drain plugs, oil consumption, etc.

Are these issues common?

Any not have any issues? And mileage?

2017 screw picked up 6/2017.
Only issue: having a sunroof bracket replaced after I found a piece of plastic in the track causing bounce back when closing.

Almost 36k miles of daily driving and lots of road trips to off road when I can.

More adrenaline rushes and smiles per mile than MPG's.

2017 SCAB with 34,000 mi. Oil pan leak that required 3 attempts to fix, followed by a 4th visit to tighten cross member left loose. Just had the valve covers replaced due to oil consumption. Haven't driven enough yet to confirm it's fixed. I ordered mine before any had been delivered and before any defects were corrected in the production process, I suppose. Having said all that, I still love the truck and would buy another one. I got a Ford Ranger for a loaner while the valve covers were being replaced. I couldn't wait to get my truck back. Oh, I did deactivate that annoying start/stop feature and that makes me happy.

2018 with 13k, November 2017 build date. No issues to report. Truck has never been to the dealer. I do want to get the ECU and TCU software updates though.

2018 screw, 12k miles. Only issue so far was a nail in one of the tires immediately after I bought the truck.

I also think the driver needs to grow a set of balls, I've only had it a foot off the ground so far.
