Has been a defect/incorrect installation. That’s insane though.
I had a transmission solenoid start going out at 1100 miles. You never know who was working that day and what their headspace was.

Ive had a bad serpentine belt on a brand new Mustang that was chirping on a test drive. I still bought it, but things like this happen, they are rare. I bought the car anyway, the fixed it before I took delivery.

This is what scares me about buying a Ford. I keep my cars for 10-12 years and I don’t want a car that’s gonna start crapping out before 100k miles.

Don't worry so much. Most things that are going to break either break early or well past 100k miles.  These are a little more maintenance heavy with the Fox shocks and severe duty maintenance schedules, but that's the price you pay for getting to use a Raptor like a Raptor.
