I’ve always thought that if you want a 1500 series truck as a daily driver primarily and family duties a Ford F150 STX with 2.7 is the best pick in term of value and overall economy.

[@ozielsolis1]

True, when I first drove the 2.7 I was impressed, and I ended up getting one, the only reason I let it go was because of the Powerboost, needed the 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard.

[@asvpab]

I like long term reviews, tell me everything wrong with the truck and everything you like about the truck. Lessons learned, options you wish you had got, and options you don't use.

No issues and the upgrade was worth it. Love the 4a setting in bad weather. I have been able to get over 24mpg on a long trip. Best road trip vehicle. I average around 18-20mpg mixed driving.

2.7 is a great motor. Seems to be the most reliable engine Ford offers in the F150 line up

The 3.3 might edge it, but that’s largely relegated to work trucks or fleet use.

[@bantizzle79]

@@ALMX5DP yeah you don't see those motors often on the car lots. I drove the 2.7 and 3.5. To be honest I really couldn't tell a big difference between the two power wise.

[@ALMX5DP]

@@bantizzle79 oh totally. I think at normal speeds or like from a dig to 30mph they are super comparable. 3.5 just keeps the torque wave going, but for most people I think the 2.7 is the perfect engine and still suitable for decent towing. Pair the 2.7 with the hybrid Powerboost setup and you'd have an instant winner.

[@nickschaps4022]

No, the 5.0l is definitely still more sound. The 2.7s and 3.5s are notorious for cam phasers needing replacement by 150k. Not bad engines, but the 5.0l is more efficient for a mixed city/hwy driver.

Great info! I have the 2019 XL STX 2.7, 28K miles. It's only had 2 issues. Alternator needed replaced and a turbo. Turbo - If truck sat for a week or longer, on initial startup it spewed a dark cloud until warmed up. I tow a boat trailer (~2,800lb) with it. I've been pretty happy with the Truck.

[@richardbell4948]

I own a 2020 2.7 stx supercab. Im the second owner, bought it new/used from the dealer. Have owned it since 12/21. Came with all the warranties plus and extended premium package which was needed a year in. The 1st owner turned the truck in with 9000 miles and had more time idleing than driving. Just had the whole catalytic converter system replaced with the warranty. Other than that, it's a blast to drive.

[@cwqrpportable]

Excellent video Tim, thanks! Factual based and absent of any cheap shots, fanboy crap or click bait titles.....

[@joshuahedrick]

Great interview. A few points (not trying to contradict the guest) 1. He probably has a microfracture in the radiator thats not leaking but evaporating coolant. I wouldn't worry about it but the level of fluid loss he is experiencing is excessive. Secondly, manufacturers lie about service intervals to keep "cost of ownership" low on the retail side. Look to see what the recommendations for service are on the commercial side. As a GM owner I do my transmission services at 45,000 miles because thats what the "severe service" recommendation is for fleets.

[@jimmyneutron3055]

I have a 2020 2.7 ecoboost. I had the cel came up for a bank 1 catalytic converter issue during 35,000 miles. I tried cataclean and it did clear the lights for about 5000 miles. Problem arose first time around aug 2023 of this year, clear the light, came back on nov 2023, went away, and finally reappeared around Christmas. I dropped my vehicle off for a diagnose last Tuesday and the dealer has ordered both cats and had them replaced for free under warranty. I have only used top tier gas from Costco or shell. Otherwise, this vehicle has been very reliable. No transmission problem or sync3 issue like the person stated in this video. I’m approaching 50k soon. If you are purchasing this vehicle, I highly recommend you get their ford backed extended warranty through Ziegler or Flood. It’s worth it and cheaper than buying it from your local dealer.

[@andyd5492]

Some really good conversation. I'm a big ecoboost fan. I have no problem getting good fuel mileage. It comes down to driving style.

[@ALMX5DP]

Yup and cruising speed. Going 65 I get 1-2mpg better than when I want to go 70-75.

[@jmjm3543]

I have had two F150's with the ecoboost, the 1st with the 6spd and now I have one with the 10spd and both are similar that you can get good gas mileage at 65-70mph but anything over and I loose mpg

The 10 speed can be a piece of crap. The surveying company I work for has 7 trucks locally. 1 is a 2018 f150 5.0 10 speed. The 10 speed lasted about 55k miles. Probably the 8 speed in the 2017 Silverado is going to have issues too but at least it outlasted the 10 speed.

[@Kaiser333333]

I have a 2022 3.5 f150 and the 10 speed feels great to me. I don't drive like a hooligan though and it seems to have learned my driving style well. No idea on longevity yet

I don’t think a sample size of 1 is enough to draw conclusions from. People do seem to have some gripes about the 18-21 F-150 10-speeds but for the most part they are all doing decently well and newer models with newer or better tuning seem improved still.

[@markhavelka4924]

I have 95k miles on my 2020 3.5. No major transmission issues, but it can be clunky from time to time. The 6-speed in my previous 2013 F150 definitely felt better.

@@ALMX5DP I've had 2019 xlt 302a with 5.0 and 10 speed - worst vehicle I've ever owned - in less then 2 years I've had it, it was in shop for warranty for more then 50 days ( too bad no lemon law in Canada). That 10 speed was an absolute garbage - lot's of issues and warranty attempts to repair it, but nothing helped. I am 1000% sure that transmission would be done right after warranty expired ( I've been at 85k kms when got rid of it). Should have pushed dealer to change the transmission, but just got tired of it. Traded for a new 2022 also 302a with 5.0 and 10 speed - just like sales guys kept saying: "it is way better then previous gen", but IT IS THE WORST TRANSMISSION you can find not just in the truck, but the whole car industry - never worked properly from the day one - clunks, downshift kicks like you are rear ended, etc.. Anyway, in 1 year and 4 month that I have it now - my 5th transmission appointment next week and they are changing a valve body in transmission now. I've also had other warranty and recall work done to it. As someone who've had 3 Fords in last 9 years - it's a piece of shit vehicles, I'm sure it's the worst car brand you can get in Canada - Hyndai and KIA is way better quality then this crap.

[@engineer_alv]

I own a 2018 F150 Super Crew STX 4x4 with the 2.7 Ecoboost and 189K miles. It's been a fantastic truck, the only check engine it had was for an EVAP leak (easily solved) but everything about the engine and transmission has been sound. It gets very decent MPG and it moves quicker than it has any right to . I only wish the STX carried a power sliding rear window or an overhead console but they're not deal breakers and I understand Ford wants to put you into an XLT with options or above to get those. I was coming from a 2014 Ram with the Pentastar and the Ford has much more power without a penalty on fuel economy.

However, at 103,000 miles my 10-speed transmission had a complete failure leaving me stranded. My $3,900 extra cost extended warranty ended at 100,000 miles; I was just 3,000 miles past that.

Good vid watched the whole thing, have a 2018 2.7 Supercab xlt bought used w 29k miles, still love it after 5 year ownership. 88k miles and counting. The 10 speed will sometimes take a bit to pump up before going into reverse after sitting but has been rock solid otherwise. Your friend is correct 21 mpg is the average on highway. It really is luck of the draw on reliability of these trucks but think the lemons are a rarity. Oil is cheap, full synthetic 5k mile changes if going for the long haul.

[@dcl97]

People and even mechanics (Scotty) have this negative perception of turbo motors that's based on what turbo motors were like in the 90's and early 2000's when manufacturers were taking an existing motors and slapping an off the shelf turbos on the side. Most of today's motors are designed from the ground up to be turbocharged. The blocks are cast with sophisticated internal cooling jackets and are made of special alloys, the 2.7 here is made from compacted iron graphite, the same technology used in their 6.7 diesel. Most turbo motors these days actually run cooler than many of their NA counterparts. The turbos themselves are also far more sophisticated with better lubrication and cooling.

[@agentcarder]

Yet HD still have v8 why is that? Because v8 last longer. Turbos won’t hold up to abuse. Since 1/2 have become family haulers they aren’t getting abuse like they use to and turbos will probably hold up if you don’t use your truck.

[@jasonbrushett2005]

​@agentcarder turbos actually last longer when they are used,any mechanic will tell you that.Most turbo related issues are from owners driving their vehicles without using much boost

Scotty is an out of touch hack living in the past. He has had one Ecoboost engine on his channel in for repairs. After bashing the turbos, it turned out the Mustang needed spark plugs.

I did have a check engine light at approx. 30k (CAT bank 1). I cleared the code on my own scanner and never came back. Maybe was bad gas. I tow a boat about 2200lbs loaded prob once or twice per week. I get better gas mileage here in eastern NC, average 23+ mpg on 87oct. There’s so much that plays into that number (driving style, fuel quality, tire pressure, environmental conditions, city v. highway, etc). So far the truck has been fantastic. The only thing I’d wish Ford would change is the clamshell back doors. GM & Dodge both have regular swing doors on their extended cabs. Ford needs to do the same.

[@paulhunter9613]

Fuel quality makes a big difference in mpg’s. I’ve been using top tier 87 octane for the last yr an half, and then had to buy some gas from a Kroger grocery store, which is not top tier. And since I’ve been using that fuel I’ve noticed the so far the mpg avg has been consistently lower. And it’s been the same driving style and route

Dealership issue, not Ford the manufacturer. My dealership has been really good about any recalls my f150 has had.

I find it a bit amusing when people brag about 20, 30 or even 100k like the vehicle has really accomplished something. Guessing they’ve never owned Toyota. In 2020 I looked at replacing my 07 Tundra. I looked pretty closely at a F150 and a Ram. I’ve owned about 8 Rams in the past. I wanted another long term truck. Sort of wanted an ecoboost for the power and mileage but was concerned about reliability. I found a KZbin video bragging about how the owner of F150 has 200k miles. He listed all the things he had done/replaced on the truck. Sorry it was a pretty long list and I wasn’t impressed. I talked with a good friend that always drove F150’s and he really liked his 2019 but said don’t drive them much past the warranty before you replace it. Not what I wanted to hear. Those days of buying a new truck every 2 years were behind me. I replaced the shocks and struts and the starter on my tundra in the 13 years and 250k miles. The truck really held up both inside and out even though I was pretty hard on it. It even still had the original plugs. I finally came to the conclusion to get another Tundra. It’s nothing too flashy but it is reliable. But admittedly I’m not too sure the new redesigned Tundra will last as long though.

@@Pickuptrucktalk Last annoucement from Toyota was as long as ANY subscription is active, the key fob will work. Safety connect and service connect both come with 10 years of free trial. We'll see if they end up changing their minds.

All of the modern transmissions shift like crap. They are all designed to bog the motor and it makes throttle response feel slow.

Friends 2018 mustang 5.0 , 10 speed transmission blew up at 50k, mechanic had a shelf of 10 speeds said they are just junk. Class action lawsuit now over 10R80

[@Chase_01]

100k miles is nothing… everyone used to hate on the 5.4 3 valve and Kelly blue book reports the 2004 f-150 with the 5.4 as the worst truck ford made yet I have a 2004 f-150 with the 5.4 and it has 369,000 miles on the original engine and transmission no mechanical issues ever I’ve only put a water pump on it cooling system hoses and an alternator in its entire life also I rolled the truck over in the snow two years ago and she still runs and drives everything still works like new transmission will shift hard once in a while but it’s not bad I’ve worked that truck beyond what it should handle and it just keeps going But as a side note I’m a mechanic I do all my own maintenance and I never ran the recommended oil I ran 10w-30 conventional since new

Even tho GM and Ford went together and Developed the 10speed auto . GM seems to have done a better job with their 10speed auto less problems more reliable

[@Bradimus1]

Every project GM and Ford sink money in together, the GM version is better because they put more time into tuning. This wasn't their first transmission they shared R&D dollars on.

[@troyl.8691]

It all has to do with TC lockup for GM, which keeps the temp down. Ford has a huge problem keeping the Temps down. I never see over 185 on my denali hd, towing 16k+. For some reason, Ford seems to think 210+ isn't a problem? I beg to differ on that. 48:01

Is ford still planning on eventually switching to Android automotive os like GM? If so, do we know what year model that will happen?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Where did you hear they were switching? News to me.

[@jasonwright3667]

There were several articles from a few years ago. The one I found was from the website, the verge(feb 2021). I tried to post a link but KZbin wouldn’t let me post it. More recently (April of 2022)ford has said their rollout was behind schedule. I’m wondering if they have just given up on the rollout.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

@@jasonwright3667 Ford's CEO poked fun at GM in 2023 about dropping it and how they are committed to keeping it. So, I don't know. www.theverge.com/2023/12/13/24000623/fords-ceo-is-happy-to-tell-you-that-its-cars-have-carplay-and-android-auto

Driving long distances will keep your engine going forever, it's short rides that kill any engine.

Don't ever flush the transmission? Why? And do what to it for maintenance?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Transmission flushing isn't a thing anymore.

you will want to get the oil pump belt changed at around 100K

Since Nissan is killing the Titan, iIwill have to settle with my second choice F-150, for my next truck. My worries have been about the ecoboost engines holding up. I drive my trucks for years and as many miles as i can. I don't change vehicles every three years. I'm disappointed Nissan killed the Titan, I love the Endurance V8 engine. I've lost a lott of confidence in the American trucks, and I i can't afford a Tundra on a teacher's salary.

Test drive the 2.7 Ecoboost. Great engine that won’t leave you wanting more.

You bash the Tundra for a minor update issue, but you have to F-with the Sync all the time... Whatevs dude. Also the drivetrain in the tundra is smooth like butter. I felt the same thing when I test drove a Ford.

I prefer the faster pace of speech to a slow one. I watch a channel called stony ridge farms and I swear, most of his videos where he is explaining a story throughout the entire video end up at 1.75x speed for me. Super slow speech is painful.

Ford has the best engines and a 36 gal tank RAM has the best transmission and interior quality minus the dial for the transmission Chevy has the best bang for your buck pricing Put them all together and knock off 10k .... sold sold sold

If Brian needs to make an insurance claim, he might be in for a rude awakening when the adjuster sees a massive mismatch between reported and actual miles driven per year. Could result in a denied claim.

Biggest REGRET OF MY LIFE. I knew better. I Fu@king knew better. But I bought a ecoboost. 2.7 f150. I love the truck. But I HATE THE LOW POWER 2.7. it is trash. 3 months and I'm parking it covering it. Going back to my 2015 v8 XLT. THAT HAS FULL POWER HAS NO LAG. 4x4 is useless on A 2.7. Sounds like a Lil girls car. No top end at ALL. AND 4 TO 6 SECOND LAG ON TAKE OFF. I DO KNOT FELL SAFE ON INTERSTATE DRIVING THIS GARBAGE. The 2.7 struggled to tow my bass boat. In fact did better in regular mod. Tow mod is useless. It is a motor that should never been on a Man's truck.
