So my 2019 is at Ford for the Cam phaser problem at 48k miles. What is Ford doing for customers that again have Cam Phaser issues out of warranty? I'm not sure I want to pay the 4k bill for this in the future if this problem comes back.

5yr/60k mile powertrain warranty. Sounds like you'll be fine to me.

I think they have got the proper repair/fix figured out now, but if you don't trust them, then order a Gen 3

Well I had been thinking about that for sure. Nothing has been said about a for sure fix for the gen3 though.
I don't think there is a problem with cam phasers anymore, well, the part where they are annoyingly noisy on cold start ups. If you have deep pockets get the R with the v8.

I was KINDA thinking that but their is probably cam Phasers on that motor as well. I really wanted the R but can't get over the fuel range of the R model.

I have yet to figure out why guys here are having cam phaser issue. I had a 14’ Tremor w/82k miles and never once did I have these issues you guys bitch about. I ask run synthetic oil changes to 5k miles. Just my thoughts is all.

Dunno dude, spent 74.5k on a badass truck that I love and didn't expect to have this issue.
