[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16760594, member: 131874"] A 2019 with [U]no engine mods[/U]. Or any model year with a replaced engine. Not because a replaced engine is a better engine (though it might be) but more because it's very unlikely that any given VIN would have two faulty engines in a row. The 2016's had one reliability problem - service techs that didn't install the oil filter properly. The first year of production had spin-on oil filters (that came with thread locking compound pre-installed on the threads) that had to be torqued to 16-18 ft-lbs. Service techs would ignore the big label on the end of the filter and just spin them on with an extra 3/4 turn (like a regular V8 filter). The filter would come loose and drain the engine a few weeks after the oil change. [/QUOTE]
