I'm optimistic.

[@tedantares2751]

Scotty, you forgot to mention that all EcoBoost engines are flex fuel (they can use E85, which is a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% regular unleaded gas). E85 is actually preferred fuel for EcoBoost engines. Using E85 results in more power, and is costs about 25% less than regular gas. Also E85 is less harmful to the environment than regular gas. I am thinking about getting an F-150 PowerBoost (EcoBoost+hybrid) - it gets 24/24/24 MPG (and some people even claimed having up to 35 MPG in the city)

I have a '21 F-150 with the 3.5 turbo and I tow/haul regularly (every other weekend at minimum) and it tows like a champ! The 3.5L Turbo has a higher towing and hauling capacity than the 5.0L, yet people constantly opt to be "size queens" cause "I want muh five oh". 🙄

I've been driving Ford pickups all my life, (been driving for 60 years...) and I have a 2016 F-150 with 135K miles. It has the 2.7 liter twin turbo Ecoboost, and it's the best engine I've ever owned. Have pulled a 19' foot boat to Canada twice and you can barely tell it's behind you. Got 16-17 mpg pulling the boat, and get 24 mpg on the highway without it. It's been the most bullet-proof truck I've ever owned. Use synthetic oil and change every 10K myself.

On the odometer, they prorated the original warranty and I got it for 34, fully loaded without a scratch. This is f-150 number 5 and it doesn’t disappoint. In about five more years I’ll go for #6. They last if you take care of it.

[@adamdavis1737]

That's a steal. I just wrote a hell of a check the other day for a new lariat. Right now, at least locally to try and even go back that far there's just not the kind of depreciation and value for a used truck that I was expecting to see.

[@LuisOpenione]

You know believe it or not I bought it from a Toyota dealer. All of the Ford F150’s I’ve ever owned were used with little miles, looked pretty much new, and bought at a different Japanese dealer. And for a low price than Ford would ask for the same truck. This has gone on since 1992 when I bought the first one. If you go at it with perseverance, patience and some determination you can find them.

2.7 is a great engine. I would be worried about longevity with a 4 cylinder turbo especially towing. If you use the best oil money can buy and change it every 3,000 miles or 6 months average driving,or every 5000 miles with all long trip easy driving it may last.

the '23 has the second gen 2.7, so it will be interesting to see how reliable it turns it to be. They do have a belt-driven oil pump. The belt is immersed in oil.

Ford makes great vehicles. I had one once that made it all the way to 38,000 miles. The only thing I had to do was replace the motor mounts, new shocks and struts, brakes and rotors, main engine seal, heater core, spark plugs and a starter. Other than that it ran like a dream.

I changed all the plugs and fluids in it when I bought it as I did t know the service history. Really the only issues have been an intermittent catalytic converter code and the rear window defroster quit working (I don't want to replace to fix so I'm ok with that). It runs good and everything else works just fine. Pretty good for the miles and age with all the bells and whistles the King Ranch has. And...it'd a very nice ride.

I have a 2019 XLT Super Crew with the 6 Ecoboost and chrome package. I get over 20 mpg around town. I'm 75 and if I live to be 95, and still can climb behind the steering wheel, I'll be driving it, because I only go 5K miles per year and it is a great vehicle. Gas may go up to 10 bucks a gallon, but it will be cheaper to own than any EV or most other cars. Ford rates the 2.7 Ecoboost for at least 225,000 miles. By the way. We have dual power heated seats ( my wife had to have one too) in the front with a fold down console. It's always left down. It's fine and has a lot of storage. However, someone else could ride there if necessary. We also have the cloth seats. I had leather in my prior vehicles. Nothing wrong with the cloth. I need to clean them though. Will do that when it gets warmer. Anyway, I love my truck.

[@trackpackgt877]

2:23 actually Scotty the 3.5 EcoBoost is rated to tow more than the 5.0 coyote. In fact they recommend you get the 3.5 EcoBoost if you're going to do heavy towing not the V8 because the 3.5 makes 500 pounds of torque the 5.0 only makes 400tq.

[@jonathanandrews1407]

This needs to be pushed to top comment because your very right. Its been proven on many other channels...Also to service the 3.5 is much more difficult than coyote. Most jobs require pulling the cB from the frame. Flying wrenches on YT covers this all the time.

A lot better pick up to speed and going up long hills the turbo's kick in. Eco's make & have more torque on the low end. Now towing with a F350 7.3 Godzilla . MPG's towing is about the same as the others. Empty in town & freeway is about 3- mpg's less. but I bought it to tow. No replacement for displacement in this case. Diesels do not get 2x the mileage.

Hey Scotty- the 3.5 V6 EcoBoost tows MORE than the 5.0 V8. The V8 and the 2.7 V6 EcoBoost are entry level engines. 3.5 Ecoobost and PowerBoost are the nicer engines. The PowerBoost tows the most when properly equipped.

All you are doing is putting more stress on a smaller engine . It will never last as long as the 5.0 .

@@Bruins77Fan No it won't. The current 3.5 Ecoboost makes more torque (500 lb-ft @ 3,100 rpm) with more torque in the lower rpms. 90% by 1,700 rpm. The 6.2 is only making about 420 lb-ft by 3,100 rpm and has to have premium to make that. Ecoboost does that on regular. It can also tow anywhere from 10,500 lbs to 13,500 lbs depending on options and axle ratio.

I have this exact same truck same color and wheels but mine is a2021. I bought mine new and paid $39,000 cash. It’s a great truck. I’ve put 56,000 miles on it and so far zero issues. I change the oil myself every 3,000 miles, I know that’s overkill but it’s a 2.7 ecoboost and a small price to pay for engine longevity. Has a lot of power and is actually pretty quick. I’d definitely get the 2.7 ecoboost again. My neighbor has had a lot of problems with his 3.5 ecoboost F-150(cam phasers). I don’t know if Ford has fixed that problem with the 2024 but doesn’t seem to be a big issue with the 2.7. I’m not brand loyal, my other truck is an all original 94 Chevy C1500. I’ve owned nothing but Ford and Chevy Trucks the last 23 years.

That’s funny cause the ecoboost builds power down low, they don’t need to rev and the 2.7 in particular is amazingly dependable with basic maintenance. But I will agree that the the ten speed is just too inconsistent and clunky at times

I bought my 2016 F150 XLT with the 302a package, thus outfitted very well. I'm the second owner, but I got all the paperwork/receipts since new, as the fellow that bought originally always took it to the same dealer. It needed one exhaust manifold (warranty) but other than that, here it's 2024 and I'm coming up on 136K miles and it runs perfect! I've not had any issue, and I still keep oil changes to 5K and use the recommended Rotorcraft semi-synthetic and quality oil filter. The power these 3.5 Ecoboost put out in 'Sport' mode is crazy, not that I use it often, as I do personally drive for fuel mileage, and on a photography trip I took last year, I was getting 23 mpg, and that was mountain driving, so I was pleased. It's truly, a pleasure to drive, yet I often wonder if the higher end trucks put a higher end sound system in them? Mine is ok, but my last F450 King Ranch dually had a sub woofer and lots of speakers, and definitely preferred its sound over what I have now. Not complaining, as it's just ok...but I do love my tunes!

Nothing wrong with a truck but I agree they shouldn't be unloaded daily drivers that get driven mostly on the highway. Lots of vehicles can do that and get much better mpgs.

Either that or buy a used commuter car like a 8-10 year old Civic and keep the truck just for truck stuff. The fuel savings alone would pay for the Civic and maintenance.

It is an ecoboost v6 but I have it serviced riggerously. At this point I'm at 140,000 miles on it and other than regular maintenance I haven't had any major issues. I had to replace the turn signal switch and the head lamp bulbs. That's literally all I've had to do to it so far.
