I have 332,000+ miles on my 2013 super crew F150 with a 5.0, it’s still runs as good as the day I bought it brand new. I’ve done a few repairs, but nothing major as far as the engine is concerned. I rebuilt the transmission at 230,000 miles had the timing cover gasket and water pump replaced at 260,000 miles and have replaced both catalytic converter’s over the last 40,000 miles. I purposely did not buy the eco-boost even though it made a little more power. I always go to the old adage My dad taught me, a candle that burns twice as hot, burns half as long. This has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.

I’m a coyote v8 fan. Best v8 ford has built since 1995. Although turbo engines can be very reliable if executed properly. I have a 265,000 Volkswagen Passat 1.8t. Still has full compression and uses no oil. Remember the turbo engines are generally much lower compression, and only see high cylinder pressure under high load, boosted situations. On the highway or cruising speeds. You are under vacuum. I would say on a daily drive my car is boosting less than 3% of the time. Now these new cheaply made aluminum block turbo 4 bangers are crap. Turbo engines do best with a cast iron block and quality internals in the short block.

The water leak on the steel bodied trucks was the damn 3rd brake light gasket letting water in and running down the inside of the cab structure to rot out the cab corners. Also, the inner rocker panels had giant holes stamped into them when built and a sticky tape to cover them up. The tape eventually falls off leaving the rockers open to every kind of debris to fill them up and rot them from within. I actually had sparrows building nests in my truck in the rocker panels.

2013 eco boost. Very hard life. 146K miles. Just now getting ready to do timing chain and overhaul myself. Very few issues, other than the damn blend door actuator going out on the passenger side. Decently simple fix thanks to the tips from FTM channel. But I couldn't imagine a better truck. Company I worked for had Chevy and ram trucks. They all had more problems even with an easier life.

In 2011 I had to decide weather it would be a 5.0 or an eco boost for the new truck. Being the conservative sort went with the 5.0 even though PR at the time was heavily weighted to the eco boost. Now have 135k on the 5.0 and have had zero problems. Just finished a 15,000 mile trip from the east coat to Alaska and back with the travel trailer. Ran perfectly.

From a mechanic stand point the 5.0 looks like a really easy engine to work on in the truck. When comparing it to the 5.4 3v and 5.4 2v - 4.6. The older ford engines in the trucks are pain in the ass to work on when compared to Chevy or Dodge. Happy people are reporting good things. If I bought a Ford truck I would probably go with the 5.0

I don't have any experience directly with the 3.5TT, but this is what I've heard over and over again. I had a 2002 4.6 2V, it had 244K miles when I got rid of it and never an issue with the engine. I mean, it was a dog, but it was a bulletproof dog. I now have and will continue to have a 2013 5.0L and it's great, it's reliable and isn't a dog. I have had a minor issue or two, like a radaitor connector issue and am oil pan gasket fixed, other than that, nothing and it just turned 190,000 miles. I even tow probably 10-15% of the time. I pull about 15-15.5mpg, however towing only nets me about 11mpg. It's super quiet, smooth and the power comes on very even and nicely.

Then had a parasitic current draw on battery. I was very close to buying a new truck as the current draw was hard to figure out and was getting frustrating. Got lucky and found someone on the Ford forum who had same issue. It ended up being the backup camera harness had corrosion and that was the cause. Even with those issues it's still cheaper then a new truck payment.

I tried to tell my dad that he shouldn’t buy an eco boost (I own a 2017 5.0L). He insisted that he needed the greater towing capacity that the eco boost offered. Less than 40k miles he already had to have cam phasers replaced. Ever since, he’s had over heating issues. It’s always been a junk engine. I don’t care what the manufacturer is, direct inject just introduces more problems. Good video. Accurate representation. For all the nay sayers…. This is the guy who sees a much bigger cross section than your one off, “I’ve never had a problem” scenario. It’s not that there aren’t eco boosts that make it 300k without issues. There certainly are. It’s that as a general rule…. They’re a much more problematic engine than the (pre-2018) 5.0L. 2018+, there’s not an f150 drive train I’d be interested in purchasing. IMO they’re all junk. Unless Ford changes their ways… I’ll be going Toyota or Nissan for my next half ton truck. Thankfully, my 2017 5.0L has allot of life left in it. So I won’t be worrying about that decision for sometime.

Those are all problems that would have shown up during product development in a testing series called rough road durability. Test technicians write “problem sheets” that get sent to product engineering and vehicle office for resolution. The product engineer will write an ECR, ENGINEERING CHANGE REQUEST, that gets approved all the way up to divisional Chief Engineer and then go back to vehicle office where executives review the change especially the COST EFFECT. Guess what? Not a trick question. Standard answer: “under normal use condition these occurrences (notice the word failure is not used) will not occur”, so they don’t get fixed. Vehicle engineers do not have crystal balls that can see into the future. The definition of normal use is what 50% of the users encounter so the other 50% get busted sooner or later. Ugly secret from the industry. Been there, done it. When it came to something busting and somebody getting hurt, guess where the paper trail finds the turd pile? Product engineering! Plaintiffs lawyer: “why didn’t you fix it?” “Scared shitless engineer: you see all those other approvals names on the ECR?, I’m on the bottom, literally, keep move up that list to get your answer, I only figure out the HOW”. That pisses off everybody, so your job is done.

The 3.5 has quite a bit more power. Also the 3.5 has a lot of engineering in it to be turbocharged. In fact, I don't think the 3.5 NA is even related like people claim. For instance, I think the 3.5 NA has an internal water pump off the timing chain that people often like to claim is a ticking time bomb (in the 3.5 EB) if it leaks into the oil behind the timing chain cover. Well. the 3.5 EB has a standard belt driven water pump. I know because I have replaced it. (It had a slight squeak and probably didn't need to be replaced but I did anyway).

@@tedschmitt178 I have a 2015 which is still technically a Gen 1 from what I understood. If you look up parts for water pumps etc they are totally different than the N/A. Also when the EcoBoost first came out Ford went through a long presentation how the crank, rods, bearings, cooling etc was all built for boost. They didn't even have a 2.7 at that time. I don't think this is simply an engine Ford ever slapped a turbo on. That is the kind of shit that Mitsu and Nissan did to their 3.0 V6 engines (and they sucked for reliability) but Ford did make an effort. gen 2 just has some improvements. The Gen 2 bumped up to 470 Ft Lbs but with a mild tune the Gen 1 hits those same numbers. Both will hit 500 with a exhaust upgrade and tune. Still a lot for such a compact engine. But they aren't exactly exploding all over the place. The main issue is people using shit oil with these complex timing chains/phasers. Without neglect they are known to last.

I hear the newer 5.0 has more problems than the newer ecoboost

That I can't say. I have yet to see one internal engine issue on a newer 5.0 but that's not to say they don't have issues. Most of the F150's that arrive at our dealer are the ecoboost so that may be why I vary rarely work on 5 liters. When I do get one in it's always something unrelated to the engine like programming.

I don't like the idea of wringing power out of small displacement engines. Chevy v8s are more predictable. But I'd love to have an old straight 6 or 7.3 diesel Ford.

Great video! As tech for 12 years I think videos like this are really helpful for people looking to buy older vehicles. Like you mentioned in the video if you have wrenched for long enough at a busy shop. You can look at the age and mileage of vehicle and know with about 80% accuracy what its going to need in repairs even before you put eyes on it.

Effing Ford. 100 years to get it right and nope! Learned my lesson. I’ll drive my 5.7 litre V8 Toyota Sequoia to the grave my friend.

If the Aluminum body is leaking and letting water in that is a major issue Ford needs to get on top of. According to this you are better off with a fleet work truck.
