That's some impressive miles! And if you NEED to drive a truck everywhere that's great, but the thing that gets me is the cost of gas over that period. At $2.50 gas and 15 mpg, you're looking at $80k! If you got 30 mpg you'd have saved 40k!? That's why I say get an old truck for hauling and leave it parked, and drive a car. Unless your ego depends on driving a truck ;) Edit: or if you just like paying extra to drive a truck that's fine too, just make sure you don't end up broke with no retirement because of it!

It's not a metal to metal sound and it sounds like it's coming from the intake. With a stethoscope I can hear it through the passenger side head. It's a low tone thumping sound, gets quieter when warm and goes away when revved. Can hear it in cab sometimes. Engine has good oil pressure and no overheating. Averaging 22 to 23 mpg. Plenty of power. Smooth running. With mechanics stethoscope it is more noticeable in the cat's and the intake. Barely hear it through the oil pan or bottom end. Any ideas? I really like this truck.

2014 F150 4x4 with 5.0, 125000 miles on it. . Just replaced the spark plugs and put new igniter things on it. Gave me a couple more mpg. I'm at 13 to 14 mpg around town and 20 to 22 on the highway. Also I drilled out the bottom of the air box so it breathes a lot better.

Worse gas mileage on ethanol? I don’t care if it’s peanut butter as long as it will combust at 87 octane you’ll get the same gas mileage no matter what you use. This is what happens when we don’t teach our kids enough science they start spouting off a bunch of nonsense.

The nice thing about the 15/17 F150 is it has an aluminum body, and the 5.0 makes it a near-perfect truck. The problem is they still cost 30,000 plus in my area.

I love my 3.5 Ecoboost, I just went on a 1,000 mile trip, got 27.3 mpg, going and coming back home. This vehicle has great power, as well as towing power.

Hows that possible? I took my 3.5 ecoboost on a 1,500 mile trip and was only getting a little over 17 mpg on my way there and over 16 mpg coming back home.

@@alexfarias5156 I am just reporting what mileage I got, what you got is not my problem. As a matter of fact, I just returned again from the same trip last week, and I recorded an average of over 25 mpg, but I was loaded heavier this trip. You might consider the way you’re driving, it will make a difference.

I have a 2013 5.0 f150 4x4 with 180k on it and it still runs awesome! The transmission slips every once in a while when you stomp on it but other than the Midwest winters eating the body work it’s been a good truck.

[@AntMan.2324]

Fords 10 speed trans is the best trans FORD has ever came out with! I work at FORD, the only reason people have problems with the 10 speed trans is because they arent used to the shorter gears and shifts. After 20+ years of people driving a 6 speed long obviously its going to take time getting used too. But overall its solid and everyone is using their 10 speed design 🤷🏽‍♂️

Plenty of ecoboosts with similar or greater mileage still running great. It all depends on if you take care of your vehicle.
