For those that say "Ford knows best" consider that they are on the hook only for failures up to 36kmi or 36 months. After that you are on the hook. If you sell your vehicles every 5 years following the factory schedule is fine. 5-10 years is probably fine. For anything more than that $40 worth of Mobil 1 synthetic and a filter, and 30 mins of your time is well worth it.
View @CarbonSteel's thread to see what the drivetrain fluids looked like after 3kmi. I recently did mine at 6k and there was probably 1/8 to 1/4 inch of shavings on the drain plug magnets and the fluid was dark brown. Not one but two Ford dealers told me they will not do the change before 60k.
I did my first one at 6kmi, will do the second one at 12k in a few weeks and after that I may or may not revert to 10k. Made in USA is not necessarily a good thing when it comes to vehicles. This is my first Ford and I am surprised at the sloppiness of the cable wrapping. Never seen so much manually applied electrician's tape in my life. Even on my Jeep.
