What's It's Like Owning a 6.2L V8 F-150 *Is It Worth It?*

The 6.2L V8 found in some F150s is without a doubt amazing. It has so many positives, and a few negatives.

[@chriskotaska8124]

248k 2011 Lariat Limited I had 3 coils go out. Plugs are a chore. You got over charged on the dealer cost for plugs. I had a squirrel chew some engine wires. I think it was under $500 for the dealer to fix the wires and plugs, not a biggie. I had an AC hose blow. That cost me a few hundred at the dealer. Front dif has a weeping seal. Dealer said about $200 for that. I had a vent motor go out. That cost me less than $50, but a challenge to replace. The power steps in Wisconsin fail and break down. Those are a 4k replacement cost. My rear window defrost has now failed. I guess that is an issue. Probably not cheap being it seems the window itself might be the issue. Rust is an issue in the Midwest. I had it redone once already. It’s showing again after 2 years. What else? Oh the shifter interlock switch failed. New shifter was $350 or so. Easy fix. The linkage on the transmission came off in deep snow. What a royal pita digging my way under there to re hook that in wet slush at 3am. A lift would have helped. Key fob is failing. Two halves are separating and you have to hold it tight to make good contact when you use it. Need a replacement at the dealer. All in all the 2011 Limited hasn’t been the worst.

[@dogbonetc7623]

How much did you buy it for ?

[@Overseascontractoracademy]

For a couple of months I was looking for a Platinum with the 5.0. Ended up finding a 2011 Limited with the 6.2 from a private seller. Not being a truck guy (until now), I hadnt even heard of the motor. This video and others convinced me to buy it. I've had it 2 weeks and I do enjoy it. I agree with Scotty Kilmer with regards to the longevity of turbo motors. Fun with less than 100K, but often problematic thereafter. It was rare to see an Ecoboost over 125K that either hadnt had work, or needed work done. Whereas the 5.0 & 6.2 had lots of examples of higher mileage without major issues. So now I have the white Limited with the 6.2 & 155K miles... feels high enough off the ground to me already with the 22 in stock wheels- and coming from a mid-sized SUV. Parking is a little different in a big truck, that's for sure. Love the sound of the 6.2 and I love all the creature comforts of the Limited level. Push button start is all it's missing, imo. A driver's side grab handle might have been nice too, but I guess I'm supposed to tug on the steering wheel to get up into it, like a proper redneck. Overall, I'm happy with the decision to buy, and your videos on your truck were a part of that decision... so thanks!

[@CovertGarage]

Congrats on the new truck! I’m glad I could be a part of the decision! As far as reliability goes, it’s really hard to beat the 6.2! I’m sure you’ll be happy with it for years to come! Thank you so much for watching my videos! I’m glad I was able to help you! Have a happy thanksgiving!

[@alb12345672]

I just got an 11 Platinum with 6.2L. 185K miles. Very happy camper. Yes, it needed brakes and some stuff, but for something that age it is very minor repairs. I also put ENA coils from Amazon, the old ones were sparking. If they fail, I can always use the boots for that price with the OEM coils. I have 20" wheels. The platinum has an 11.1K towing capacity, but no AWD. I get 13-14 mpg. The only complaint is the A/C has some odors, it is somewhat of a common problem across all F150s. Have to shoot some lysol in. Don't you have power running boards?

@@joemooskie4444 Sure! My stock gear ratio is 3:73. That means for every 3.73 turns of the driveshaft, the wheels turn 1 time. But going to say a 4:10 gear ratio, the wheels would turn 1 time per 4.10 turns of the driveshaft. Basically the truck wouldn’t have to work as hard to turn the tires. In return though, it will raise your cruising rpm. Cancels out for larger tires basically

[@CovertGarage]

Hmmm that’s a tricky one. My fuel gauge went out a couple years ago. Ended up going through 3 cheaper assemblies - all broke after 3 weeks. My final solution was using my original assembly since the pump was still good, and ordering just the fuel level sending unit. Slapped the new sending unit in the original fuel pump assembly and all had been good since. Really sounds like just a bad fuel level sender to me but if it keeps failing there may be something else wrong. I think it sounds wiring related

@@CovertGarage thanks a lot for the info, do it matter the brand? I’m looking at cost and reliability of the parts once replaced.

[@CovertGarage]

@@jerryhamilton3287 With something like that I’d honestly go motorcraft. Sure you can save some money and get a cheaper part, but having to replace it again would be rough.

At how many mile did you have to change spark plugs?

[@CovertGarage]

I changed them at 100k miles

[@TheConservativeMexican95]

Would look better stock

Never buy electronic parts aftermarket ever Oem only

That’s awesome! They are certainly great engines!

Same bud, 189k miles, these motos will go over 300k easy

I got a 6 inch lift on new 35’s my ride is a bit rough , any ideas how it can get better ?

[@CovertGarage]

The age old question lol. A lot of it is just going to come down to what setup you’re running. If you have the strut spacer your ride will be rougher than it would be with the bigger coilover. Also depends on how big your wheels are. The bigger your wheel, the less tire there is making the ride rougher. Usually the higher the lift, the rougher the ride. That being said there is things you can do to improve it. If you do have the strut spacer, look into getting a bigger coilover instead, I’ve heard Rough Country vertex aren’t terrible for the price. Or you could go with fox for a bit more money. At the end of the day gotta give up some ride quality to look cool though🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

@@CovertGarage totally agree ! It’s just on high speeds man I feel every bump and rock on the road lol I got my tires balanced so that’s not it. Seems like everything shakes on the highway lol

[@robertendicott1018]

sorry just read through comments and found your number lol

[@CovertGarage]

I’ve been wanting a dyno tune! How big a difference did it make?

[@robertendicott1018]

@Covert Garage from an sct tune im not sure what you would gain. but from stock it was like a completely different animal. He told me ballpark figure on rwhp would be around 330 to 340 range and by the time he was done it was 366. Also told me if i got headers and cai he could easily get another 30 out of it. But headers are pricey lol.

[@robertendicott1018]

@Covert Garage not going to lie though right now i wish i had a programmer with option to switch back to stock for regular over premium purposes lol

[@CovertGarage]

@@robertendicott1018 Good to hear thanks for the info! Yeah headers are really expensive for our trucks haha. Gotta love the 6.2 life

[@CovertGarage]

@@robertendicott1018 Ah yeah with gas prices the way they are now I don’t blame you!

[@killemall1983]

you must really floor it everywhere to only get that mileage. even on my actual raptor i get 14 city

[@CovertGarage]

The actual raptor is geared differently than the normal F150. Helps with mpg around town at least

[@yeanah2571]

Was trying to find a 6.2 out of a F150 or 250 to finagle into my Crown Vic. Stock HP is appealing, but 16 sparkplugs is nuts. Think I'll keep looking for a crashed Terminator or 11+ GT. Like the New Edge tho, some 2v love is cool

[@CovertGarage]

Man that would be so sick haha!! But yeah the 16 spark plug thing is no joke lol. Thank you so much! Big things coming with the new edge soon
