Guys are hesitant of the ecos v6, they’ll really be skeptical of a 4 cyl. You’ll hear comments about “long term longevity, throw away motors” and blah blah blah. Chevrolet seems to be taking a smaller motor approach on several vehicles, some of their cars have moved to 3 cyl turbos. There's carbon build up issues dealing with the valves at higher mileage. Benefits. Less weight on the front wheels. Lighter truck. Meaning better handling and the brake pads will last longer. Most efficient then a V8. Ford took care of that on 2017 and later 3.5L ecos by adding port injectors...

we will see, I got a 2 year warranty from Ford on the repair. I heard that they were selling/using the old stock cam sprockets for repairs until they ran out so some of the 2020 models and later repairs got the original parts (HL Prefix) I made sure that I got the upgrade parts (ML Prefix). Runs like a scalded ape! It was great before but waaaay better now.
