And the flip side to that thought process is it's prudent to wait at least a short amount of time (maybe a couple of years) before purchasing a vehicle with some type of major "new" engine technology for that manufacturer. If you don't mind being an early adopter guinea pig, go for it.

I don't buy extended warranties. I would never have collected anything on one in 37 years of buying vehicles.

So what was the reason for the change? Does it have anything to do with cylinder deactivation or TiVCT? With the new oil pump drive can they vary the speed and/or pressure that the pump puts out?
I have an '18 F-150 with the rattlin' gen 3 Coyote. Is this new oil pump drive related in any way to the NVH issues of the gen 3?

Oil pumps were traditionally driven by a shaft off the crank. This type of change allows improve packaging of the engine and ancillaries.
I’m loving my 5.0. Smoothest engine I’ve ever had.

A guy that lives down the street has an aftermarket exhaust on his and it's noticeable. During the day when kids are out playing he usually babies it in the neighborhood and it sounds like a 4 or 6 cylinder. When he goes by at night he usually gets after it and it has a nice V8 rumble.
