2.7 EB Starter Reliability

2.7 EB Starter Reliability
Hello all. About a month and a half ago I bought a 2WD XLT SCREW with the 2.7 EB. So far I love the truck and the gas mileage. (Better than my 2014 GT with track pack) I am getting an average of 22 mpg mixed city and hwy but in the afternoon I sit in a lot of stop and go traffic and the auto start/stop happens a lot. During my last commute I was wondering if the starter is going to be able to hold up to all this use over time. I mean I've had to replace starters before on vehicles and it was only getting normal use. Now this thing is getting used at least 10x as much. I know I can turn it off but I was just wondering if anyone know of anything that was different about the starter on these new trucks?

Put your mind at ease.
I am quoting from Ford's technical brochure:
"The engine’s ability to withstand repeated stop/starts was validated with more than 900 test hours simulating 240,000 starts and stops"
That would put it at over 65-66 stop/starts a day for the next 10 years
Here is the official Link to the document.
