It's probably the most trouble free engine we've run. I like the supercharged 4.2, but. There are 2 kind of expensive things I would call common failures. One is a coolant pipe that runs under the supercharger. The other is a lean code caused by a vac leak at the throttle. The throttle needs to be replaced because of a push in type vac hose connection. Then you depress a red collet to release the hard plastic line. Same thing as the fittings you can replace on a freelander, but I don't know of a replacement fitting, the throttle assembly is close to $1800 list. Neither of those problems is a deal breaker for me. The ACE system is a deal breaker for me. That's a really expensive date when it breaks. Pretty sure all the supercharged trucks have active roll control.
