Ok, here's the concern, the 2.0 Ecoboost likes to blow up and create expensive messes. The early ( if I remember, 2015 or so ) is pretty reliable. After 2017, Ford changed the block deck design and things started to break. The initial thought was just replace the head gasket and possibly the head but it was the block that was the problem. Look up FordTechMakeULoco on UA-cam and he has a deep breakdown on all the EcoBoost engines.
2020+ 2.0l’s fixed the issues of the 2017-2019 deck issues. The coolant slit/ramp between the cylinders created weak points that lead to head gasket failure and cracks in the cylinder walls (most commonly between 2-3). The slit that connected the open deck cooling in the block to the heads was replaced by a hole drilled below the deck at an angle which is a stronger alternative.
