I hope everyone is having a good weekend. This is the final video of my f150 series with the 5.0L Coyote engine. I hope everyone is liking it so far.
Today we take this truck out of the road and I give you my real time feedback on what exactly I think about this truck in terms of acceleration and drivability.
firstly I noticed that the low end throttle response is not like the larger displacement v8 engines that the competitors like RAM and Chevy offer. but that is most likely to be expected given the smaller displacement of engine.
however once you reach 3,000 rpm this engine comes to life and as the RPM keep building this engine fully comes to life and you can really see this engine is built for top end power.
when jumping on the highway and I put my foot to the floor the truck accelerated perfectly. tons of power and speed. this engine and truck will have no issues making passes when needed. like I discussed in the video I wonder how this top end power will translate into towing. only time will tell!
In terms of Fuel economy and MPG this v8 is amazingly efficient. this is the most efficient pick up I have tested this far with the only exception being the inline 6 3L Duramax diesel.
Now this engine will rev to 7,000 rpm and thats what sets this engine apart from the rest is that it almost has another level at the top end in terms of power. most v8 tend to rev to like 5,500 - 6,000 rpm and this engine just keep on bulding the revvs which is cool to see.
Overall this is a very smooth fun engine to drive.

Like every single engine, the 5.0 does have its own issues but is still widely considered a durable and reliable engine that can last 200k+ with ease.

I have the 5.0 in my 2015. Still the aluminum body. I get a steady 21.4mpg not towing and about 13.5 towing a 12 ft trailer. 105k miles before my first brakes and 92k from the tires. I've had to put about $2k into it for repairs in 8 yrs. Best vehicle I've ever owned since '73

It's sort of like fluid film but a large company out of Canada that warranties. I live in Maine where the undersides of vehicles look like coral after awhile. When he lifted it to do the undercoating in September this year he brought me in to show me that there was no rust, zero, under the truck. So between that and the aluminum body, no corosion.

Surprised on the torque comment, the 5.0L Ford and Ram Hemi make peak torque around the same RPM (4,250 and 4,000) and feel very similar to me. In straight line acceleration the 5.0 is much faster obviously, it’s got more power than the 5.7 and in a lighter vessel.

I have a 2015 Scab FX4 5.0. Just broke 60k miles. More than half of those miles while towing. I get about 11.8 mpg towing our Micro minnie 1706FB travel trailer in the Georgia mountains. Get about 13 pulling my utility trailer with my off road golfcart. I run 87 octane gas. No issues other than the backup camera had an intermittent harness issue I was able to resolve. Truck runs like a scald Ape in sport mode. I love the throaty growl of the 5.0 when I accelerate.

[@rockymountainjazzfan1822]

I have a '20 F-150 5.0L Coyote V8 4WD. I tend to drive for fuel economy, as do a couple of friends of mine with 3.5 Ecoboosts. I'm getting 16-19 mpg ACTUAL fuel economy with my truck. I say "actual" because, without adjustment (which the owner can do in truck's menus), the factory set EVIC overstates fuel economy on my truck by about 6%. Comparing that with my friends' trucks, they get about 17-20 mpg with their 3.5 Ecoboosts. In all cases, drive with a lead foot and you'll be down under 12-15 mpg in a big hurry with the Coyote or the Ecoboosts. Also, driving over 65 mph will make a big hit on fuel economy with any of these trucks. I chose the Coyote because most of the people that I know who have the Ecoboosts have had significant reliability and longevity issues with them. The Coyote 5.0 will just outlast the Ecoboosts, in my opinion.

[@patriot-dv6dh]

I love my F150 5.0! It is my first car that isn’t a 4 cyl, so not much to compare to, I guess. I didn’t want the eco boost, figured I’d get a V8 while I still can.

[@24cupsandcounting]

The 5-litre will have no problem maintaining 10.5-12 L/100 on the highway at speeds between 100-120. I owned a 2011 5 litre for 8 years, it had the 6 speed auto and that was my regular mileage.

[@jaysson1151]

I’ve been making the argument for a while, stating that the Coyote is more efficient under a load or at higher cruising speeds than the turbocharged engines cuz they will likely be in the boost when cruising above 75mph (120 kph). The same goes for towing-TFL proved that years ago on the Ike Gauntlet. Granted, wind resistance is wind resistance regardless of which engine, but I think the sweet spot for speed vs mpg is higher with the 5.0 than the 3.5 and likely tied with 2.7.

[@johngarner9929]

The acceleration of the F150 is better with the 3:73 gears - turn the traction control off, select sport mode then try it. For towing - the truck is engineered to operate at lower RPMs by activating all 16 injectors. Had a 2015 Ram with the 5.7 - was a great truck until the lifters failed at 138K miles. My 2021 Ford F150 STX 4x4 tows heavier loads better than my Ram did - for conventional towing you would do with a half ton truck, the Ram was better overall except when accelerating.

2018 STX crew 5.0. 15-17mpg around town, 18-20mpg at 70mph on the highway using cruise quite a bit. The truck actually seems happiest in the 40-50mph zone where its 21-23mpg. All this despite an absolute POS 10 speed transmission, the absolute lowest of lowlights in this otherwise great truck. Seems like they have refined the transmission since then which is good, but that doesn't exactly help me out 5 years into ownership.

I have a 2022 F150 5.0L & odometer just passed 9K miles. No oil consumption problems, recently 2nd oil change done. At 500 miles I installed a J & L oil catch can and am surprised how quickly it collects 3 to 4 oz. of condensed oil mist. ( Glad I purchased the 3 oz. extension right away ! ) Hoping this will improve longevity of smooth running by reducing carbon build-up on intake valves

[@richardbrown4816]

Co-developed the 10 speed is not really accurate, Ford took the lead on the 10 speed rear wheel drive and GM took the lead on the 9 speed front wheel drive transmission and they agreed to share the transmissions designs. The 9 speed didn’t really pan out as expected. Instead the 9 speed dropped a gear and was used as an 8 speed instead.

In my opinion, the 2nd gen 5.0 is a better all round motor/transmission set-up. The 4th gen has a belt driven oil pump as compared with the chain driven 2nd gen. The 6R80 transmission shifts better and hunts less for gears. Also, the 2nd gen 5.0 used cast iron cylinder sleeves and didn’t have engine oil consumption problems found in 3rd and some 4 gen 5.0’s. I just wish the F150 could still be had with a manual transmission. The weak point with the 5.0 in the F150’s seem to be the cam phasers. The only other item that seems prone to failure with the F150 4x4’s is the vacuum operated integrated wheel ends (IWE). Ah well, EVERY vehicle has its weak points.

[@johnbessemer3777]

Just a little update for you. Took my first long trip not towing anything. Roughly 1300 miles round trip. So, averaging 75 mph, I got 21.9 on the computer. By calculation at the pump, it was 21.7 mpg. So, pretty much spot on. Averaging 80 mph, it dropped to 18.5 mpg by computer. Calculated at the pump was the same. States of the truck are. 2019 F 150 5.0 with crew cab.(cab and 1/2) 6 1/2 foot bed,, and 3:73 gearing. Everything is stock motor wise. A few cosmetic/functional add ons. Moral of the story? 3:73 doesn't lend itself to 80. Though, that only comes with the upgraded tow package, as far as I know.

[@jsnokhous]

My 2020 has a 3.55 rear end. Wanted a 3.73 but I couldn’t find one with the options I wanted. Unless I’m on flat pavement i lockout 10th gear because it has not power to spare and sometimes feels like it’s lugging a bit. Question for ya. Any thoughts on what octane is best? It has a 12:1 compression ratio. Mine runs fine on 87 but I have several buddies that have 18-19 model years and they swear it runs better on 93. They switched to premium due to knocking. Live in Texas so it’s obviously hot here. That may be a contributing factor

[@camonly849]

I believe if you look in the owners manual it recommends 91, but you can run 87...if it's tuned on 91 ultimately I would say you're leaving power and possible mpgs on the table. But then it's more at the pump.

Were you in normal mode? Sport mode is much more lively. Also what rear end does that have? My 22 has a 3.73 and it has great torque off the line. Also that 10 speed is clunky and has weird shift points. You need a tune to get that 5.0 to show you it's true potential.

Hahaha I mean when I give the trucks back they are a little more "broken in"

[@Brian_195]

You’re incorrect. The 5.0L Coyote will take any 5.7L or 6.4L Hemi off the line, and especially top end. Same goes for the 5.3L and even the 6.2L.

[@kensporalsky3784]

Real world 5.0 is 15 mpg , 3.5 is 18 mpg. If you’ve driven both you’ll definitely appreciate the power of the 3.5. It’s a huge difference.

Yea my tranny on my mustang whines cause of GM

[@granttarbell6689]

how do u not know you have a sport mode for higher rev shifts... waste of money

[@amalfi460]

GM worked on the front wheel drive tranny while ford developed the 10 speed. GM is using the ford 10 speed and ford isn’t using the fwd 9 speed tranny that GM developed

[@amalfi460]

Turn off the traction control

Why can't they just make trucks simple anymore

[@scottyV1000]

Because of government fuel and emissions standards. I’m glad Ford deleted the engine start/stop on my 22.

[@wasupfool5692]

10 speeds turned out to be garbage in the half tons, and Ford don't have lifter issues, instead they have the cam phaser problems they have always had

[@TheGettyAdventures]

See I've heard and read that the cam phaser issues is mostly in high mileage trucks most likely caused by poor maintenance.

[@scottyV1000]

@@TheGettyAdventures That’s because they run on oil pressure so if you don’t change your oil regularly or use poor quality oil the passages will gunk up.

This is a comedy channel? No idea what kpl means to mpg... But my 2013 with 141,000 miles and 3.55 rear gets a WHOPPING 15.7 mpg over all since day one. If that's "sneaky efficient" I need a new dictionary.. You out ran a type R.. 😂😂😂😂 not on any day.. unless it's snowing. My stock Focus ST smokes that truck.. Reliable, durable, no major problems yes.. fast? No way.

The 5.7 doesn’t have any more tq down low at all🤦‍♂️ What you are feeling is a gear difference. Most rams with the 5.7 come with a 3.92 rear gear ratio and the ford usually comes with a 3.31 rear gear ratio. And sometimes they even have the 3.15 gear. My 22 5.0 Fx4 has the 3.73 and there is nothing about the 5.7 that even remotely comes close to its power at any rpm at any given time.
