2016 Ford F150 5.0L V8 ***Actual Owner Review*** | Truck Central

Coyote V8 😍 Have a 2009+ F-150? *MUST HAVE MOD* in the description!

[@frantruck919]

Truck Central V8 coyote wasn’t in the 2009-2010 f150. The 4.6 and 5.4 was in the 2009-2010 f150.

Excellent review! Calm narration (no obnoxious yelling or fake excitement), perfectly clear speech with no garbage words. Great camera work and overall presentation. Thank you!

[@MattyRuss242]

I watched in 1.5x speed and even did some at 1.75 :) But good info all in all.

[@GP_90]

Very nice review. Very calm and a true personal ownership of your F-150. I'm about to pull the plug on a used 50k mile 2016 XLT 5.0. Your review is helping me make my decision much smoother :) Looking forward to watching more of your future reviews!

[@NickTarterOKC]

I have a 2005 F-150 Lariat and I can attest to Ford build quality. My truck has 162,000 miles on it and the interior is still absolutely as good as new. That's saying something for a guy who has 4 kids too. The leather doesn't even have any cracks in it and the dash is fully in tact. It has impressed me time and time again with quality and reliability. I've got the 5.4 but it has never given me a lick of trouble. I just take care of it and it takes care of me.

[@Jsuarez6]

Got a new 2019 Lariat V8 Crew Cab this January. My last truck was a supercab and that's what I was set on for my new truck this year. But when I saw the crewcab had the fold up seats and flat floor I felt better about buying it. Sometimes I have to get stuff that's too small for the bed but too big to put on the small seats of the supercab. This new design has been very useful.

[@seandunks3526]

I just picked up a 2016 f150 xlt long bed today and I absolutely love it. 79k miles

[@M-.-Jones]

The Roush intake would look really nice inside that engine bay!

[@GearTubeTV]

I did have a JLT intake in it but later removed it because I had higher IATs than I did with the stock air box. I haven't looked into the Roush intakes but if I invest in another cold air intake I want it to be a closed box type system.

[@M-.-Jones]

@@GearTubeTV If you mean a lid, I have an 18 with the Roush and it has a lid. I went with Roush because they are very good brand obviously plus they partner Ford already.

[@GearTubeTV]

Yep the lid. My JLT was supposed to form a tight seal with the hood when it closed; however, I still had really high intake air temps. With the stock air box I am running maybe 10-20 degrees above ambient temp while moving. At a stop it obviously creeped higher because of heat soaking. With the JLT I was getting intake air temps about 50 over ambient air while moving and even higher while stopped. I just wasn't happy with that. So, I guess I'll look into the Roush and see what it's like! Plus, like you said Roush is hand in hand with Ford already.

[@thallesvr]

Nice video, I'm also planning to buy a F150 5.0 like yours and keep it for a long time. I'll use it as my family car as well.

How did u find out? From gauge?

[@ted101975]

@@ti10can no I had to check the dipstick. I do once a week now. When it hit 4000 miles my oil pressure gauge was fine but my dip stick didn't have any oil on it. So like I said I check every once a week and add a quart of oil every 2-3 weeks.

I suggest getting those oil changes down to about every 5000 miles if not sooner, especially if you sometimes run it hard. The 5.0 coyotes are great but they rely on maintenance a lot.

Ecoboost or Coyote?

[@Hotitalianman]

Coyote for longevity...

[@tysonkurt6801]

Coyote all day!! 2016, 30,000 miles, no issues 😁

[@poppyneese1811]

2017 2.7 Ecoboost, not any problems, 20.4 mpg calculator checked fuel economy in the mountains of WV, but that’s being very easy on the throttle, Love the economy and get up and go, but when a 5.0 passes me, they sound so good. Seeing a lot of old steel bodies running around with first gen ecoboost running around now.

[@tedschmitt178]

The notion that turbo engines are not durable is an outdated fallacy which has been held over since the 1980s when some manufacturers just slapped turbos on regular engines, and the engines couldn't take it. They made no/few modifications to the engines to account for the extra pressure from the turbos, and the engines were not *designed* with turbos in mind. For that reason, those engines didn't last. The Ford EcoBoost engines (3.5 and 2.7) were DESIGNED for turbo duty. Also, now we have the added benefit of synthetic oil which should be used with turbo engines.

[@killermobiledetailing2795]

Truck Central have both 2.7 is good if u doing lite towing and city driving good power but just got 2019 v8 and man what a difference power and just all around better and does better towing if u do everyday towing which I do 👍🏻

[@CJColvin]

If you plan keeping you're truck for 5 years then the EcoBoost for sure but if you really want longevity and keep it for let's say 20 years then I would go with the 5.0L Coyote V8 for sure.

Lol you said “dodge” and “quality” 😂

[@realstaceylewis]

Truck looks just like my own except I have the cheaper but meaner looking grill that comes standard on the FX4. My truck is the Fx4 2.7L model. It has the most torque in the class and still more towing than all of the competitors. I have the line-x premium and a rollnlock bedcover. I don’t have the bed lights nor do I have the sliding rear window. But other than that it’s the same truck. The FX4 is lifted from the factory and has the cover plates underneath the truck to protect when off-roading. Had it since Feb 2015 brand new and I’ve only changed the oil in that time. I still haven’t changed the brakes although I tried many times just because of the years but they keep saying no they’re not worn enough. Likely due to the weight. Interior of the Fx4 is same as the Lariat so big screen and all the perks.

[@realstaceylewis]

By the way I’m well over 100k in mikes as I used it to travel long distances daily for a long time.

[@jonathanhaney5673]

@@realstaceylewis you’ve never changed the brakes at over 100k on a super crew fx4??? I’m impressed and hope you reply

[@realstaceylewis]

@@jonathanhaney5673 Correct and still haven’t changed them. It’s insane. I wonder if others are getting the same. I did change the tires once but I use the high quality all terrain tires so they last long. I’ll be getting my second set of tires next year and gonna need to service the AC soon I noticed this summer it wasn’t as cold but other than that absolutely no issue just oil changes. Not even Plugs. I’ll have those done anyway just because of time but it still runs perfectly.

[@conservativeguy9329]

I have a 2016 Ford F-150 crew cab with 75,000 miles with the Coyote 5.0 liter. I get 19 miles on the highway. What type of gas do you use and i would check both engine and believe it or not the cabin filter. If your HVAC is working harder, this will lower your MPG. Also, make sure tires pressures are at the right PSI.

[@jdotseven]

I was down to 18 and lower. Then a VCT solenoid went bad on drivers side. Replaced it, and brought mpg back up - currently around 21 highway at 96000 miles. I also changed oil weight to 5w-30 full synthetic helped a ton. Next thing I will be probably installing is an oil separator.
