2.7 Nano with 21319 Julian build date, 584 miles, running strong. Now have popping sound in the MIC roof latch over driver head that I plan to fix with shrink wrap.

3500 miles with no issues so far (looking for wood to knock on), 21180 Julian date, right in between a couple failed ones.
Am I worried? No. Would I go out into the wild far from cell service? Honestly don't know, not alone or without sat communication, but that's standard anyways. I live far from trails so don't have to think about it for now. Just out enjoying my Bronco, weather is glorious, roof is open, so much fun to drive this thing!
If it does blow it'll get fixed, if it blows in the wild they'll just have a very expensive towing bill to pay.

Well I am over 9700 miles today. First oil change was not until 7500 miles, oil life currently 86% and ford estimates I can go 8500 more miles before second oil change.

Been on most modes. Drive it like it was meant to be, as a raised 4WD 4 dr Mustang
What is your engine sticker?

Mine is spectacular. Built late Sept 2021. 3300 miles so far. Took it easy for the first 1000 miles, since then I enjoy the full benefit of two turbochargers...

Alright, lots of anxiety right now about the 2.7 and the "failure tracker" thread. So, figured a thread of 2.7's running great with no issues would be helpful to contrast the unfortunate bad news list.

So, if you're willing - post up your engine build date and current mileage. If this catches on, people can post every month or so with update mileage (assuming we don't all jinx ourselves) :)

Here's mine with a gratuitous picture of my Bronco. 6/28 build with 478 miles and lots more coming

Not to take anything away from those that have had trouble (it would suck to have a blown engine!) but the 2.7 is generally very reliable. This is my third (July delivery 9.3k miles) 2.7. All three have been excellent. None of the three have had any used any oil between service, have all been reliable and deliver great power and economy. The 2.3 is good too, but these forums and peoples bias towards the negative creates a perfect storm of forum and social media induced panic.
