Lease is up at the end of the month and want to jump into the van life. Anything I should watch out for with this year / model?

Balljoints should be checked and replaced if necessary. Radiator has plastic tanks. The top tank split. It was an easy fix.
The cables for the door latches can be problems but easy to change or fix.
The spark plug change on the 4.6 is a nightmare and the stealership is expensive but necessary.
I haven't had any problem with smog cert. It runs really clean. The tip of the tailpipe has zero evidence of carbon.
It is what it is and they are what they are. I'm having good luck with our club wagon. YMMV
