Good point always avoid 1st year introductions.
But i don't see how it could go drastically unreliable. The 6.2L is going to be a year old when it hits the market in the F150, the F150 6.2L is basically unchanged from the raptors engine(unlike the F250). The 5.0L is also unchanged other than tune and some more durable parts, it will also be a year old when it comes out.

The unproven one here is the 3.5L EcoBoost.
it has all the sings of a great engine, power, price(700dlls over the 5.0L)
only one problem unproven reliability.
