Which Ford engine models are the best?

[KyleDuran]

I have a question. Considering the common issues discussed regarding the Ford Custom models from 2015-2018, such as wet belt failures and problematic 2.0L engines, what are the most reliable engine models and years for a Ford Custom that balance performance and maintenance costs? Additionally, what are the key maintenance tips to ensure longevity for these models?

Unfortunately anything after Euro-4 can be considered "unreliable" IMHO...Any vehicle with a DPF system or "add-blue" are notoriously troublesome. Most of our requests for help on a Euro-5 vehicle are usually DPF related. All the Euro-5 and 2.0 wet belt engines are horrible. The emissions requirements are the main culprit. Again, just my opinion.
