F150 4.6L 2v The Most Reliable Truck Ever Built To This Day - 500k mile truck - For Sale

[@stevenmaynard8577]

Totally 100% agree. Im a police car mechanic. Nothing we have had before or even after the Crown Victoria comes even remotely close to the reliability of the 4.6 2v, and we have tried all of the domestic brands.

[@stevenmaynard8577]

The only Ecoboost vehicles we have are unmarked units. Not that many. Most of the units we have for squad cars nowadays are explorers with the 3.7, and just got some of the new ones with the 3.3.

[@mercedes-amgforlife3237]

I worked on a fleet of them. The 4.6 2V is darn near indestructible. Most issues were suspension. Had to replace a locked up engine, but that was due to very poor maintenance and not the engines fault. I drive a 2010 P7B everyday and have no problems except the rack leaks and the exhaust manifolds have rotted.

I daily drove a 2007 Crown Vic police interceptor and have worked on other Modular V8s from time to time. Seen those motors go through hell and back. I 100% agree, 2V 4.6 and 4R70/75 is about as bulletproof as you can get.

[@enthused7591]

I think both the 2v 4.6 and all 1999-2007 GM 4.8s, 5.3s, and 6.0s can get you 300k miles, but the Toyota 4.7 2UZ V8 from 2001-2006 can get you 600k.

I miss my 2001 f150 4.6l V8 truck. It was my first ever vehicle when I was 17 and was a hand-me-down. Was over 230k miles and the only thing going wrong on it was a power steering leak and my fuel pump started to go. I would still have that truck today. But in 2021 when I was 23 I was rear ended by a distracted driver when I was stopped, and they hit me at 50mph. I miss that truck so much, sent me down memory lane when you started it up.

[@stayvigilant7856]

I have the 2010 ford f150 4.6 3v with 182,000 I've heard the 4.6 are bullet proof but the 3v was not as good as the 2v bc timing kit issues I just had all that replaced on mine around 175,000 Miles all new timing kit. You think I'll be good to go engine wise now?

[@kenmows4u338]

Do you still have it and is it running ok? Thanks.

[@Kanesgarage]

These are great and very reliable. Only thing bad about them was that they had poor crash test results when impacted in front.

[@woppini]

You are absolutely correct. 25 year mobile tech, these engines were bomb proof. Easily hit the 300k mark with good maintenance. Everything went to shit once the 3v came out. If you can find a nice rig with a 2v, its a unicorn. I have never had to do a water pump on these..ever. Now, the 5.0 Ive done as early as 45k, and another at 90k.

[@danielnewman3441]

Found a Unicorn and I'm in love with the simplicity and longevity of the 2v. LOL. 2010 F150 regular cab. 122K like brand new. No rust. Thank you for your input and experience on the reliability of these engines.

[@musill7776]

that is a very good looking truck for 220k miles wow! thank you for sharing!

[@stevenewsam1993]

I totally agree. I’m the original owner of a 2001 Expedition XLT 4.6 2wd, 244,000 miles down here in GA. I specifically wanted the 4.6 engine for reliability. The car runs, shifts and looks like the day I purchased it in 2000 and just passed it’s yearly emissions check today with the original exhaust. Just routine maintenance items, front suspension rebuild, rear axle seals, that’s it. I flush the cooling system every 30k, flush the tranny every 70k and change the oil every 5k. We just inherited a 2013 Honda Odyssey and my wife wants me to finally sell the Expo. These vehicles were built to a tougher standard than the junk built today and I’m sort of thinking the Expo might out last the Odyssey.

[@the9thTribe]

Just bought one... wait for it... and only 1 owner!

[@dewrus2153]

My father bought one new (2002 F-150 XL SCAB 4.6 black). He drove it until he passed in 2016 when I got it for my daughter who's been driving it daily for the last 5 years. That truck spent the first 14 years in central PA (rust belt) so it does have rust issues on the rocker panels but it's pretty solid otherwise. I've replaced tie rod ends, upper control arms, one exhaust manifold, both front wheel bearings, and one rotted brake line (hard line to the rear). Other than that, it runs reliably like a top. I won't get rid of it until the wheels literally fall off.

[@FordBossMe]

Amen

[@5litreho]

I whole heartily agree ! I had a 2002 F150 XLT 2wd silver with 5.4 and 4r70 Trans. I bought it with 60k miles, and sold it with 305,000 miles, original engine, Trans, diff, A/C system. Only repair to engine was a new plastic intake manifold at 285,000 miles, old one warped and had a vacuum leak. I now have a 2004 Mustang GT with 4.6 2V with 150,000 miles. No oil leaks, no burning oil and/or blow by. Yes, the 4.6 and 5.4 2V Modular engines are some of the most reliable long lasting engines out there!

[@gailgrove]

After owning three vehicles with this powertrain combo I can confirm they are reliable. I cannot however say they are powerful or very efficient. The 4r70w isn't my favourite transmission though, I'd much rather have the 5 speed hooked up to the 4.6.

[@FordBossMe]

They are efficient it's not a matter of debating that they wouldn't have been as successful as they were if that wasn't the case Most powerful absolutely not no way nowhere in any of my statement would I ever say that or have said that

[@gailgrove]

@@FordBossMe I'll have to ask, efficient compared to what? They were much more efficient than the small blocks they replaced 30 years ago for sure. However, compared to modern engines they are not at all. My new Ram with the 5.7 and 8 speed is more fuel efficient than the 4.6 4 speed combo it replaced while weighing 1500 lbs more and having an additional 150hp and 100 ft lbs over the 4.6 it replaced.

[@frankthespank]

I have a 2000 F150 4.6L long bed super-cab fleet truck, completely bare bones except for automatic transmission and air conditioning. The only “problem” I had was caused by me, I power washed the engine and fried two of the coils so I figured I’d do a “tune-up” and I replaced all the coils and spark plugs with factory Motorcraft parts and she has ran amazingly since (:::knocks on wood:::). I have about 150,000 on her and I just change all the fluids when I’m supposed to and she starts up every time I turn the key and sounds great. 😎 I deserve her, the car I had before was a 1997 S10 Chevrolet Blazer (back in 2001) that was a complete pile of shit. Thank God I had an extended warranty on that Blazer ‘cause EVERY part on it was replaced… twice. I’ll never buy GM again because of that Blazer.

I have a 03 4.6 f150 4x4 and it has been reliable for the 4 or 5 years I've owned it. The only things I've done to it is a brake line, rear brake caliper, wheel bearing, alternator and pads and rotors. All typical maintenance you would do on any vehicle and everything was done by me and I'm not a mechanic by any means. So I agree these trucks are relatively easy to work on, some of the things mentioned I literally had never done before by myself. The only sad thing is because of where I live the salt corrosion has rotted away the frame in the rear and bed so it's not really worth continuing to work on keeping up with all the maintenance. I just do the bare minimum to keep it on the road until it's no longer road worthy.
