Which can be shut off from the dash. Engine is too new to know so problems probably won't start showing up until next year or the next few years like the 3.5L has with the timing chain slop, condensation build up in the CAC. I thought I did see some issue but I can't seem to find a link. Only thing I've found is when you do an oil change, pop the oil cartridge a bit let the oil drain back into the block, then drain the oil and wait about 5 minutes or so for all of it to be out. When you add the 6 quarts of oil into the engine wait about 10+ minutes as per owner's manual before you check the level. Last thing you want to do is have 1/2-1 quart or more of oil in the engine and you start having issues. 
Hope it doesn't end up with problems because I may buy a truck with the 2.7 EB in the future.

Nothing to worry about, composite oil pans are nothing new.

The 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel had a composite oil pan for the 2011-2012 model years. I don't recall ever hearing of any issues from them. For that matter, every Detroit Diesel Series 60 under the hood of semi trucks made since the mid-1980s has had a plastic oil pan.

2015 scab with 2.7. 36500 trouble free miles. I don't see why everyone complains about the auto stop start. It's only one button to push. People pound the crap out of their phone everyday sending messages. No one ever complains about that.

My '15 SuperCrew 4x4 is lighter than a '14 regular cab Tremor edition.

I had a 2016 crew cab for a test drive. It had a higher rear axle gear ratio than my 2015 super cab. I didn't notice any difference in power between the two. Might be a little bit harder on gas, but probably not by much difference. Dealer said the crew cabs were heavier so most of the ones they had on the lot had the higher gear ratio.

I have a 6" lift with 35" tires, I have driven it to Vegas three time now.
about a 250mile drive from where i live. That little motor does not even break a sweat. Climbing up the hills, you do not even feel it struggling.
The 2.7 EB is very strong. I avg 22.5 @ 75mph
And whats funny, when i'm cruising up the hills @75-80mph, the V8 trucks that
I pass up are all at high Rev's, try to hold speed. Not knocking V8s, but just love the low end Torq. of those little turbo's
Always run 91 Oct.
