Are 2004-2020 Ford F150s Reliable? Recalls, Issues, Avoid These Years

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Here is a link to the Ford F150 reliable story on the website: pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/08/how-reliable-is-the-ford-f-150-pickup-truck/

[@NASCARBOB57]

Just read the article. They state three years with significant problems and they site 100 to 200 complaints for those years. Really do they even have a clue Ford sells a million F 150's a year and less than 200 complaints is significant.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

@@NASCARBOB57 sure volume plays into all models and makes. We said several times to take these results with a grain of salt and understand these aren’t going to apply to each truck. These are the results we found and we reported on those results.

[@Brenny627]

Easy answer from a mechanic: avoid 2004-2010 with 5.4 engine, 4.6 is great but harder to find. Avoid 2011 and early 12 ecoboost as the engine was brand new. 2011-2017 5.0 is great. 18+ 5.0 has oil consumption issues. As of 2018+ 3.5 is nearly perfected. 2.7 still alittle new but I see lots of them 150k+ in oil field work trucks running great.

[@ClarenceMD23]

Can the oil consumption problem be fixed easily?

[@jcwoodstl]

150k shouldn’t be impressive, it should be expected. For the price these trucks cost the benchmark for impressive mileage should start at 250k. We use Toyotas at work and they are run constantly and get replaced at around 500k miles with essentially no problems whatsoever.

[@Steve-yr5vi]

I own the 2nd generation 3.5 EB, I bought only because three good friends had the 2013, 2015 and 2017 EB's and each of them say they love that engine, never had an issue. Each of my friends is a married guy like me that uses his truck to pull boats, drive to work, take the family to remote places. I researched the engine before buying it, I know of the air cooler issues of the first gen. Bottom line change the oil as you're supposed to don't flash the ECU and it'll last 300,000 miles as many are doing.

[@CJColvin]

[@alecsanderfuentes3913]

How’s it held up after a year

[@dannyt1705]

130 K miles on EB ? You need to trade that thing before major parts start failing that is well known on those engines . High pressure fuel pumps , turbochargers , rear axle bearings , head gasket , Stuck valves due to carbon build up . The biggest is spark plugs breaking off . Often times those plugs are under tightened or over torqued and because they are in aluminum cilinder heads - they vibrate and wear out the aluminum threads inside causing them to break off . How much oil are you burning per 3k-5k miles ? Oil consuming engine is the one that burns 1 qtr per 3-5k . If you are burning anything more then that - that engine is toast already at 130k .

[@antonbalek2968]

I had none of these issues with it and I do put my trucks to work. I have 2021 GMC Sierra Denali now and I could write a book about problems. Plus that mighty 6.2l V8 failed at 14K miles. What a disappointment this truck is.

Great video. Maybe I am lucky, but I have a 2020 Ford F-150 King Ranch 3.5L Ecoboost, max towing package w/ Camco EAZ-Lift ReCurve R6 Wt Distributing Hitch Adjustable Sway Control System. This is my first truck in my life and love it. Have towed close to 10K+ lbs from East to West Coast x2 (both ways), northern and southern routes, without any problems, a lot of power, surprised of low gas consumption, smooth ride. A retired Ford mechanical engineer told me the 2020 F-150 KR is considered one the best overall F-150 models and by adding R6 towing system, it further decreases overall stress on the truck while towing, so I am very happy I got it. Of course, like my prior cars, I keep my truck in good condition, regular oil change, etc., and depending on travel distance, heavy or moderate towing or not, it’s maintenance changes. Overall, I cannot be more satisfied of owning this great truck, which I am keeping until the 22nd century, so by then I will be getting a flying F-150 w/ full warp engine package.🙂 Again thanks for that informative video.

How much did you pay for this overpriced EcoBoost truck, also what job do you have and how much do you make to afford that truck as well?

[@westpac6954]

I have a 2012 with the V8. The only problem I had was having to replace a coolant hose. My understanding is changes made to the newest generation of coyote engines have resulted in oil loss which subsequently results in engines shutting down.

[@spe808]

2004 F-150 engine problems are probably because they had the 5.4 3 valve (really bad problems). I have a 2004 with the 4.6 2v and its been really solid with not major problems. Its an Xl work truck so it doesn't have power windows or locks. Has 243K on the odo. I currently still drive this truck daily.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

My 2016 F/150 had two electrical issues that cost me around $900 to fix. I had the bearings go out in my TwinTurbo which was $400 to fix. I had front and problems that cost me just over $2000 to fix. I was having an oil leak in the turbo which was like another $260 to fix. All these issues were before 100,000 miles. I finally have the TwinTurbo go out at around 153,000 as well as went through two starters and an alternator by that point. I sold the truck and went with what I should’ve gone with in the first place which was a Toyota tundra. That F/150 cost me an absolute fortune.

Its absolutely not normal to have all those issues at around 100k . Try and explain to them that those issues are directly related by turbos exerting more strerss on small displacement engine and you are not gonna get ANYWHERE . They dont understand simple laws of phisics that exerting more stress on small displecement engine to deliver power you normaly get out of large displacement angine and V8's will cause premature wear ansd tear .

Go choice brother l, now had you bought the 5.0L Coyote V8 in the F150 instead of the EcoBoost then you wouldn't had any issues at all what so ever but either way glad you loved the Tundra (especially one with the 5.7L I-Force V8 in it).

[@duggydo]

I had a throttle body failure on my F150. Mine had moisture in it and messed with the throttle position sensor wiring inside it. The fix was to dry it out and seal it up good. Didn't need a new part. I think it got moisture from pressure washing it.

[@CannonFodder873]

...I would NEVER pressure wash under the hood. Bag the essentials with the engine warm (not Hot). Spray with diluted dish soap or brake cleaner (or Both). Wait 10 or 15 and flush with a garden hose. Your method worked great for 70's engines...it's not so good for your post 1985 under-hood electronics, though. The seals are designed for rain driven at 80mph, not rain driven at 1000psi. It's also the same method my wife used to fill up the airbox on her car. (LOL)

The back passenger door lock likes to stick. That is it. I did put a 3" lift on it at like 38k, and 35" tires at 55k. My brakes haven't even been replaced yet.

Ford would not cover it either. 3 sets of front rotors, 2 sets of rear rotors all for warping. 45 000km both from 4wd hub actuators failed. Leaving the truck without 4wd. 60 000km transfer case mount failed causing brutal driveline vibration. 80 000km , Timing Chain, cam phasers went bad, water pump was also leaking and replaced. It also consumed oil, even at 5000km oil change intervals, with high quality synthetic oil, worse while towing. Other than the plugs which Ford had a TSB on, everything was covered under warranty. I had to ditch it though as I was convinced it would start costing me boat loads of money once the warranty was up.

turbos aren't like they were in the past. I don't even know if VW makes a non-turbo charged gas car anymore. The only issue I've had with any of my modern turbocharged cars is internal wastegate seals going out at high mileage. Which causes the turbo to leak some boost and the engine to burn more gas than necessary to compensate for the leak. As you said, turbos are here to stay, they're easier to tune than superchargers, and fortunately they're a lot more reliable than they used to be.

I have a 2014 STX rwd with the 3.7 engine. Bought brand new. Started hearing "growning" sounds at around 30K coming off the hwy on a ramp around 30mph. Would do it every now and then. Would take to dealer, they never were able to duplicate or figure out what the problem was. Well, it became more frequent and started doing it at hwy speeds. I had the extended warranty to 100k, so it was somewhere in the 80k range, I took it in, demanded a tech drive it with me. I told him I feel it is a torque converter issue. Sure enough, it made the noise again and he concurred with me. Truck got a new torque coverter under the extended warranty. Now, at 145K, truck has been great. The only other issue has been two canister purge valves (5 min fix to replace). I am self employed and use this as my service truck and daily driver. Live in Virginia Beach, have driven it out west up in the mountains, towed cars behind it. The engine is certainly no power house, but when using it within its capabilities, it holds its own. It screams like a scolded banshee when towing up the hills of I-40 in Tennessee, but never lost speed. Just be meticulous with fluid changes (preferably high quality synthetics) and change often (including the transmission) and generally speaking, you will get a long, reliable life from it.

You wana know about ecoboost reliability vs. The 5.0 go to the Ford dealerships and look at what the mechanics are working on lots of turdblow trucks.

[@gabelanger]

Ask the Ford Techs what would they buy.

[@mysterysolver514]

I have a 2020 5.0 and doesnt feel good at all i think its the transmission but ford wont do anything

[@MD-eu7mx]

Every company has issues. Yes even Toyota, nowadays buy what u like and cross your fingers.

What did you honestly expect?

[@GNR325]

Great video. You should do the Dodge Ram as well. I suspect the newer trucks will possibly be better than Ford. The 8 speed transmission has been very solid. The hemi is pretty solid although I have read of issues with the cams/lifters, although many seem to run 200+k miles without issues.

I did a Ram video last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZq4gn-mopukfbs

I'll check it out. Thanks!

[@CharlesWilson-zs3vd]

What to consider is when the truck gets old. The turbos will wear out at some point.

[@andrewbeck844]

2018 F-150 has 16 recalls. Ram 1500 has 11. Tundra has 5 & Chevy Silverado has 2. Ford winning again!

A whole video on f150 problems? I'm surprised it was only 17 minutes. 😏

Considering how many they sell, I'd say they are above average when compared to the alteratives. !!! Go Ford !!!

[@curtis1951]

@@darrenhefford3722 Nope. Even considering the huge number of sales they still only rank average for reliability compared to other brands.

It's sounds like the manufactures are leaning towards turbo charged engines, and for that reason being, it so that they can have you keep coming back to them. The days of trucks lasting are over. There is just to much going on, and the manufactures of all trucks know that, be it FORD, GM, or RAM, It's all about profit from your hard earned money out of your wallet.
