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.

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

Everyone seems to hate the start/stop function though.
