Is the 3.5L ecoboost in an Explorer sport the same animal as say my 2013 F 150? I've been looking to trade my limited in and come across some sports with the same options, mostly 2017 models that are low mileage at a lower price than I'm finding Limited's. I haven't had any issues in my F 150 but I know that some are plagued with timing chain issues where the timing chains stretch over time requiring a bunch 'o parts to fix. Do the engines in the explorers have this problem as well or are they built different being their front wheels drive? I would think that engine in and Explorer would be extremely quick.
