Anything mechanical can have issues. Just go out and enjoy it.

So two people dont have issues. That doesnt account for much. Just a quick search looks to show people do have some issues with the engine. Granted, since it was redesigned only 2 years ago, there isnt as much data to go off of as the 6.2L.

My statement still stands....they ALL have issues these days of some sort.

Well, no you are correct that is a stone-cold fact. All vehicles will have issues with some more than others. My point was that the small oil burner with the new 3.0 was less at least with the people I know was not as problematic. People in the oilfield where the ranch is in NM have run them. Most now have gone to the 3/4 Duramax now where before 2020 redesign the 4x4 trucks out there were mainly Ford and Ram because of the location of the DEF tank. Have seen them get punctured and leave the truck stranded. Never did understand what rocket scientist engineer would place that DEF tank so low to the ground.

Have had problems with all of the German brands except the Porsche even had a MB AMG bought back. Been lucky the last 20 years with GM trucks. Just minor issues except the bad DEF tank in my 2020 GMC Denali. It was redesigned and then my problems went away showing it was empty. Yes, it was a different PN. My last .5 ton GM was a 2012 with the 6.2 and in 18 months went through 3 rear main seals. It was a 6.2 and I ran a catch can on it. Ran one on the 2016 ZO6 as well cannot believe the condensation mixed with fuel and a small amount of oil that it caught on both. Hell, even caught the same gunk on the Jeeps with the catch cans.

Now with the Ford F250's (2) had issues with the fuel systems, infotainment, water pump, fan clutch, leaking windshield, front axle seal and a rear drive shaft. Both of these trucks the problems were all before 40k miles and Ford covered the repairs but waiting for parts while the truck was down turned out to be the worst part.

Seem to have better luck with the GM products than Ram or Ford. Kind of surprised you have not had issues with your truck. Those steps would not survive one trip to the ranch in NM.
