I own a 2013 Ford Edge with 140000 miles, 3.5 v6 non turbo. It is the SEL so it has a lot of bells and whistles. The only problems I have had are: a/c door actuators, door latch on drivers side(even though the door is shut it shows the door ajar light. I just ran a wire to bypass the door sensor, they wanted $230 for the switch). And the brake switch under the brake pedal, the dealer wanted $350 to replace the brake switch assembly(it took $25 at O’Reileys for the brake switch. I change oil every 5000 miles with full synthetic oil and change my transmission fluid every 30000 miles. I also flush the radiator every three years. I just pray the water pump doesn’t fail.

[@302Mustang13]

If it was my vehicle, I'd take it in for a new water pump at the next coolant flush and do the timing chain while it's opened up. Probably 2 grand but sure beats a new engine or car payments.

[@andysnyder4603]

@@302Mustang13 Timing chain? Why change that? A timing chain SHOULD NOT FAIL unless Ford Edge's have a history of that. Now a timing belt, that is totally different. I have a Toyota Camry with a timing chain that I won't worry about because TIMING CHAINS aren't supposed to break. I suppose if I had 400 to 500 thousand miles on the car and I really loved it, I could do that just because metal can stretch over time. But normally, no worries.

[@302Mustang13]

​@@andysnyder4603I'm not completely familiar with the 3.5 V6, but I believe the internal water pump requires pulling the timing cover. Timing chains do stretch out over time so might as well take care of that while you are there. I could be wrong on all the above but that's how I'd do it and I wouldn't wait for the water pump to go. Get it done and you'll get to 300k if all else holds up

[@latoyabentley5156]

I have a 2010 Ford Edge with 189,000 miles. I promise I will cry of happpiness when it makes it 200000 miles because it runs excellent and i havent had a car note in 7 years when I bought it cash purchase!

yeah I agree big heavy vehicles like that need a big brawny engine to get them going though some heavy vehicles can do pretty well with a larger V6 engine such as GM's classic 3.8 and 4.1 l V6s from the 80s-2000s granted there were V8s with less than 5 Ls used for ex the ford 4.6 & 4.9 L that were used in the Crown Victoria Mercury Grand Marquis Lincoln Town Car and Continental among others the navigator has been around nearly 30 yrs. now though there were some SUVs around before the 1990s such as the Ford Bronco Chevrolet Blazer etc. the Cadillac CT5 V for ex has a 182.4 Cubic in or 3.0 twin turbo V6 engine under hood granted those versions of the CT5 weigh between 3,974 LBs and 4,142 LBs depending on what transmission is ordered 6 Speed Manual 10 Speed Automatic and the Blackwing version sells about half and half around 9,000 of each in 2023 though GM doesn't announce their numbers monthly anymore instead opting for quarterly Cadillac currently has higher annual sales than Lincoln by almost double while for ex the Toyota Camry alone sells almost double the amount in the US than the Cadillac lineup combined did in 2023 and the top trim of the Camry costs roughly what a moderately optioned CT5 does in the mid 40K range when all things are considered no wonder in some countries its considered a luxury car

[@STho205]

Here's a choice: 1: a used vehicle at 15mpg 4k 2: the improved new one for 25mpg 80k 3: the cybertruck at no gasoline bills for 110k? Which one makes the best financial sense? You can buy a lot of fuel for $106k

No you are right, the 3v 5.4 are the one with the bad reputation. 2v 5.4 were indestructible. I had an 09 f150 5.4 3v 230,000+ miles. You could hear the timing chains sometimes,and it would start idling rough somethings as well,you would either have to give it some fuel to correct the rough idle,or put it in park and give it some fuel. My opinion and personal experience tells me they are good motors they just seem to not take neglect,you have to be on top of the maintenance for them to be reliable. Always changed oil at 3,000 miles and never had problems,towed cross country from California to Pennsylvania a few times,Mississippi to California and back. Hauled cattle,bales of hay.railroad ties ect never stopped🤷🏻‍♂️. Don’t get me wrong they have there problems, I just believe it is somewhere between motor design,consumer neglect,and when you mix that with the millions of engines produced from f150-f350 Ford E vans,Lincolns,exercusions ect.

I found a 2011 ford ranger xlt supercab 4x4 has 119,000 mile and no rust for $11,000 is this good deal? How good is engine and trans in these? 207 hp 4L V6

All I want is to get back my '91 Civic hatchback. The most fun car ever.

[@johnlowe2218]

Is this the Ford 5.4 3-valve that everyone says is garbage?

[@DumpsterElite]

I have an '06 Expedition with the 5.4 3V. Doing the whole timing job on it right now. Bought it new (200k on it now) and I was debating getting something newer, but newer used vehicles are STILL ridiculously overpriced. The engine will hopefully last another 200k. That's all I care about. I'll never buy a NEW vehicle. Screw that. And it has a cavernous amount of room inside, and the 4WD works well in the snow up here.

[@jp1087]

Yes. But regardless of what anyone says, that's the exception rather than the rule for both the 2v and the 3v. I never had an issue changing the plugs on my 5.4. And the people I know who had trucks with these engines didn't have any issues either. The only time it actually had a "failure" in all of the 200k miles I had it was a coil pack going bad. It was a simple driveway fix. They are very solid engines and there are tons of them still in use today without issue.

[@johnlowe2218]

@@DumpsterElite I completely agree with this. I’ll never buy a new car as long as I live. Long live the days of the simple, bulletproof, DIY-repairable V8 engines. One that I hold close to my heart is the Mercedes M113K supercharged V8 which is also a 5.4. May be supercharged but it’ll still last 4x as long as anything made today.

[@DumpsterElite]

@@jp1087 I replaced the plugs on it. Half of them busted in the engine, so that was fun. Had to use the Lisle tool for that. At least the new plugs are one-piece. I had to do the timing job because you could hear the timing chains rattling on start up. And sure enough, it was getting to be a mess in the oil pan.

[@bennychilders5050]

I’ve heard from several different mechanics that the 5.4 is the worst engine ever made. Mine has 125,000 miles and the valve train is falling apart.

[@mediaguy4037]

Cam phasers. It’s a known issue. Can’t believe Scotty is recommending these

[@shaneclark5]

If it had regular oil changes, those were good engines. If it was neglected it will have issues.

[@elijahmunoz4675]

I think I'm going to disagree here.... Every one of those I have driven aged very very poorly. The drivetrain may be ok, but the bodies are terrible

[@overstrum5]

So you go from a video talking about how the turbo v6 on that f150 is all you need to saying never buy a turbo v6 ford. What are you doing swapping opinions every video??

[@DanielE-dk1ws]

I have too. It's called a 94 Celica... Lol😮😅

[@royblom8158]

$4,500 ? That was a rare find🥴

[@JohnMurphy-dw6ml]

Hey Scotty, what about the 5.4 L three valve!

[@derekgardin1512]

Scottu you really gotta stop telling people it's OK to just put 2 snow tires on. Try it and find out. You said you like yesting stuff.

[@guestguest3715]

Breaking News…… Used 2007 Lincoln Navigator prices have spiked 150% Film at eleven

[@JoeKowal-l9c]

Hope it's not a 3valve!

[@Quack_special_prosecutor]

Scotty, doctor says i should stay away from cars and walk to everywhere i go!

[@thegrapevine10]

I used to jock the 2005 Lincoln Navigator back in 2008.😂
