*ECOBOOST V6 OR COYOTE V8??* Which way would you go?

My brother has a 2015 2.7 V6, He tows 5K lbs every day, its got over 171K miles , all routine maintenance done by him, mobil 1 synthetic, never been to the dealership,still got original transmission,water pump both turbos and engine .

2.7 is an over achiever. And can hold it’s own against anything out there. And it tows amazing

Back in 2017 I bought a 2.7 Ecoboost STX F150, not a package we’d now call loaded, but compared to older F150’s got everything you really need. I’m nearly 60 and Sean to all your older followers I gotta say so far the most satisfying vehicle and reliable vehicle I’ve owned, now I’m about a month from my final payment and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I never dog it when it’s cold and I always let it idle about a minute when I get home, old Turbo owners use to to do the idle cool down to extend the life of older Turbo engine vehicles not sure that’s needed now with these new turbos , but I do it. This lil engine is just a great engine, pulls strong and return about 20.4 mpg in the moutains of West Virginia. I’m hoping this truck lasts me many years not crazy about the ideal of EV’s son had a Tesla and seemed to me he was always worried where the nearest chargers were, don’t need that. Not proud I do this but sometimes I leave a 5.3 or 5.7 at the light to see their face when they realize a tiny lil V6 just left them at the light up to 60 mph, to old to go to jail and I ain’t very tough so 60 is my limit. GREAT VIDEO REALLY ENJOYED IT!!!

I'm planning on buying a 2019 2.7L V6 EcoBoost xlt. I'm glad to hear everyone approves the towing and payload capacity, which is what I want it for. I might sound lame but I don't buy a truck for speed. Lol

As a Ford tech i rarely see the 2.7 f150s in for failures.

I bought mine in 2017 and with todays fuel prices, I am glad I bought this. I tow a camper with no issues since then. Almost 100k miles!

I just brought a used 2019 2.7 ecoboost f150 XLT, 44k miles. I am still waiting for my ordered 22 F350 6.7 Platinum Tremor and traded the 2007 6.0 to the dealer. I needed a temporary replacement vehicle. I am impressed by the 2.7 ecoboost. I recently installed a S&B intake..made a a difference in response. So far, I love this 2.7 ecoboost!

Back in January of 2021 I bought a 2019 F150 STX Supercrew 2.7 ecoboost 4x4 in black with 14,000 miles. Looks very similar to your wife's truck. I absolutely love the truck and have nothing but good things to say about it, at first i was skeptical of the smaller ecoboost being a v8 guy. But this engine gets impressive fuel economy and has incredible acceleration and pulling power at low and high speeds mostly because of it's very light aluminum construction weighs 4,890 ibs. It has really surprised me in it's performance and i've driven the 3.5 and agree with you that they have similar feel in acceleration, but for someone who tows a lot the 3.5 is an easy choice. The only downside with the 2.7 is the exhaust note I miss from a v8. The ten speed is awesome because the gearing range is massive which means your axle ratio is far less important. 1st gear is like a crawler gear and in normal driving it shifts from 1st to 3rd and then to 5th which makes it feel similar to a 6 speed. I've found you rarely ever need 4x4 low because it has such a low 1st and 2nd gear. The other plus with having a small engine with liquid cooled exhaust manifolds is the cooling system and engine warm up very quickly in the winter and almost immediately blows hot air even on the coldest New England days. I love Ford's commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and constantly building better trucks.

Have one now for 4 years,,, absolutely power. Love it and highly recommend.

I bought my 2019 Ford f150 2.7 ecoboost in 2022 . It had 12,000 miles on it. Now it has 24,000 miles on it . I love it. It's a XLT Sport , in Magma Red . Very nice color , but hard to keep clean .

Nice to hear somebody give the F150 EcoBoost the credit it deserves, I've been driving an F150 with the EcoBoost engines since they came out in 2011, never had a problem because I perform the maintenance. I use full synthetic motor oil and change every 5K now because I'm retired and most of my driving now is short distances. I now have two vehicles in my garage with the 2.7 in them, I get an average 21 MPG around town. Thanks again!!

Got one and love it. 2017 2.7l with 42,000 miles so far and goodies man quick!

I bought a 2018 2.7 black crew cab. Love that truck. I use it to do landscaping, pick up the kids from school, grocery getter, beach truck and drives me to work and back.

I absolutely love the 3.5! I am picking up a 2021 3.5 this Saturday. I still have my 2015 3.5L. Can’t wait!

I had a 2014 with a 5.0 I just bought a 2022 with a 2.7 and I really like it so far I've only had it a week but so far it's been great.

Thank you for your experience with the 2.7, I wanted a 3.3L NA, but went with 2.7 cause that's what my dealer got in with the truck I wanted. The power and acceleration is alarming, This is with 3.55 gear and 20's!

2018 f150 2.7 lariat eco boost. My fav truck so far.

I’m in LOVE with my 2012 3.5 eco boost F150 FX4!!! I have 117k miles on it and (So far) haven’t had to put a penny into it other than regular maintenance. The eco boost motor is VERY reliable!

Great video great insight thanks so much 🙏

My 19 F-150 is awesome but sometimes the check engine comes on and then it comes off a couple hours or the next day and it runs great!🤦🏼‍♂️ it’s a pretty great engine!

My 2019 F150 4x4, 20 mpg city / 24 mpg hwy. Normal acceleration and cruising speed. This F150 has been reliable thus far. No concerns with it.

28500 miles 2018 F150 Average (shows 23.4 mpg) 22.6 actual average, two O2 sensors replaced. 5% towing 95% empty. I'm an old man and easy on gas -- very seldom into boost

I read on internet a lot of CK. Engine lights on 2.7 are due to spark plugs or coils . Nothing serious. Just thought you might want to know. Liked your video.

Most important part of the 2.7 is that it is on a cast iron block every other engine in the Ford lineup are on aluminum blocks.

I reset the trip, 2018 reg cab XL 2.7 at 65mph on i10 for 2 hours got 30 mpg+-

Hey @TruckCentral any advice for trying to remove an over torqued oil filter cap? Without breaking it off?

Nice truck 👊

The 10 speed failed on one of our work trucks, a 2018 f150 with about 55k miles on it. It took 3 months to repair.

I just picked up a new 2021 sport packaged 5.0 and I love it. It has a 3.73 rear end and in my opinion pulls as good as any eco boost I’ve driven. They don’t get as good of gas mileage but that’s not why I bought a truck. But the sound of 6,800 RPM makes up for the loss in mileage. And no it doesn’t use any oil.

Can you make a video of the F150 3.3L

Love my 22 F150 2.7. Just a little concerned about the clunking 10 speed transmission?

When will the 3.5L ecoboost get a compacted graphite iron block and water cooled exhaust manifolds? Heck If the decision were mine to make, this would be the standard for all of Fords turbo charged truck engines. I love my 2.7L ecoboost! Trucks and turbos go together like peanut butter and jelly.

So far so good. No issues with my 2019 xlt 4x4 with the 2.7. The 10-speed is a bit clunky at times but so was my 2017 Tacoma 6-speed. So I don't bother me at all.

To your point about the 5.0 S Sean add to that that the 2021 5.0 has active fuel management so you may have some lifter issues to look at in the future

My turbos went out at 150k. 5 grand. Still love it if u can get it for a good price it’s worth it. Better than 3.5 basically a diesel engine

What type of fuel this truck used? Regular unleaded?

Just stick to the subject, 2019 F-150 2.7L ecoboost..... Thanks.

If you still have this truck, what are your comments about the "Start/Stop" system after several years of use? How is your starter standing up to all the extra work it has to do? Will it wear out sooner than on trucks that don't use "Start/Stop"?

Looks like the pinion seal was leaking a bit at the back idk

I miss my 2017. Saw a local dealer selling a 2019 under 30k👀

What ussualy 10 speed should be good my 8 speed jumps on first gear

I've been to car shows where they had brand new trucks with like 13 miles on them and they had rust forming on the axle already, and that was every brand.

My 2019 Ford F150 XLT Off Road needs a new transmission at $13k at 78K miles. Best of luck to you!

Though to listen to some rehearsals would be beneficial

Im about to buy a 2019 2.7 with 200k miles. Mint condition

I didn’t know that the gear shifter was in the center console on the xlt trucks. I thought that they were on the steering column and only the Lariats and up had it in the center console

Please hold the camera still and not constantly zooming in and out

I’m stuck between this and the tremor

The 10spd is an amazing trans, had one in my 18 f150 5.0 but honestly just gotta let the trans warm up and then it runs smoothly but cold it is good but if you've owned one you know what I mean

Would you use the 2.7 eco boost as a work truck? Lawn care & landscaping. Averaging about 2-3k lbs of towing consistently.

❤️2.7 all day every day.

Good video! I am interested in the 2.7! I need good gas mileage!thx for the info. I’ll be putting a camper in the bed. Do you think the 2.7 will do?

Why do people hate auto stop start? I like not burning gas while sitting at a traffic light. I live in Canada so it never goes off in the winter but on a hot summer day I’d gladly save the $$$

so just get a can of spray paint and prevent the corrosion.

I used to have a 3.5 and now a 2.7 on the way. Very curious to see how it compares in towing.

How does the rear dif being covered in rust not bad for the truck? Buddy I’m pretty sure in 10 years especially in New England that whole axel is done for.

I have 2018 my transmission is slightly acting up

What does this edition all blacked out with that engine cost? Msrp?

‘17 and earlier 5.0 should be great engine. 18-19 I know some had oil consumption problems

Yo truck looks sick, I own a Ram 1500 with the 5.7hemi and I love it, of course fuel is an issue but I don’t drive far to work so I drive maybe 4-5 miles for work maybe a little more but, the engine sounds amazing. I love the red stitching on your truck and personally, I like the column shifter more than the shifter in the middle. Either way, truck looks nice and honestly, if ford brought the prices down on their trucks, I’d take it

Me and my woman are looking to buy our first truck, we are undecided between the f150 or chevy silverado

I have a 2019 3.6 ecoboost biggest compliant .The fit and finished .Great truck but Ford has to do a better job with the under coating

Your rear pinion seal is leaking 🙏🏻

I have some mts on my f150 5.0i get around 12. With those meaty tires. I gwt around 580 miles per tanks Stock tires I got730 miles per tank.

Timing chain issues had a terrible experience personally

I like the 2.7 EcoBoost. My only complaint is that I can definitely notice timing being reduced much sooner compared to other turbocharged engines I’ve tested. I also realized that this is a older design since I recognize more of the torque at the higher rpm’s. Overall a good motor.

Nice truck! What’s the heaviest trailer you’ve ever pulled with it?

Does anyone have drive between 3.5 Tacoma and 2.7 Ford F-150? Which one more faster? I am still with Tacoma trd sport but I am thinking about between 2.7 and 3.5 F-150...I have never done with these..thanks

2.7L or 3.5L? Need help choosing

I bought a 2016 F165 new. I call my F150 with the 2.7 F165 because the engine is 165 cuin. I now have 79k miles and the only problem I've had with the engine is a cylinder heat temp sensor (p1299) went bad @ 69k miles. My front rotors warped @ 2,000 miles because of the pads had too much metal in one spot. I've towed a 96 4x4 Tahoe on a Uhaul trailer 7,300 lbs. It is funny because you have to slow down to get on the hwy. If you ever tow with a ecoboost. You know what I'm talking about.

same engine that they put in the Ranger right?

Get rid of the music or drop the volume down another 25% so we can hear you better

I own a 2020 F-150 with a 2.7 and I have also been a Ford parts guy for 33+ years. The MPG displayed on the dash is a lie. Mine always said I was at 19 or 20 MPG but, the calculator showed I was getting maybe 16.5 at best and most often much less. I even referred to it as the Lie-O-Meter .... Ford techs told me that is just the way it is. I said I don't care what the MPG is but I want an accurate display !!! Anyway after much research I have found you need to adjust your AFI BIAS by default it is set to 1000 based on my numbers from the calculator I had to change that to 940 to get it close. I have a life time average of 16.7 which seems close to real world numbers. This was a great video but when I hear someone mention the high MPG numbers I know that's just the dash telling them that and but the real numbers based on miles driven versus gallons pumped.

Forgot 3.3

what about those tranmission problems thats a class issue?

My 2018 4x4 last 6000+ miles has average 15.2 fuel economy is just shit lol. Great engine tho can pull doesn’t feel slow but fuel economy just no no lol

Tell me you trade this in. Because I just bought this seem exact truck. Used I came on here about the same thing. The 10 speed transmission

From what I hear the 2.7 has a single turbo and the 3.5 has the twin turbo.

Lol typical ford rear end pinion seal is sweating, bottom of the bed is Starting to corrode. Other than that they are not terrible. Make sure and do your oil changes and powertrain service so you don't end up on FTML's channel 😅

Mmm... not sure you were being completely honest about that 10-speed transmission. Sounds as if it would be the weak link in the power train; and would be astoundingly expensive to repair. Why do they even need that many gears in an automatic transmission? Just asking, because I don't know. Thanks for posting.

Always good to take bike to park in back of the truck to ride for fun not to save mun on the GM son Lol😂

When does he stop talking about the motor?

I’m not crazy about the belt driven oil pump. Yes a wet bath belt driving the oil pump. A red flag in my opinion.

I'd hammer down on my coyote all day with 33 inch tires and I'd get 17mpg

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT= WON'T PASS SMOG PERIOD FIX IT OR PLANNED NON OPERATION ...NOT GOOD !

Gtfo my first v8 experience was a 5.3 sle rwd Sierra as well, man 5.7 ram mopar boys would not keep up

I got a 2020 f150 xlt 4x4 2.7 ecoboost with towing package and extra capacity fuel tank, I added the timberline suspension bump stops in the rear , so far my mileage has been really bad, I drive mine 90 percent highway and have never had it over 70. I drive real easy when I am in town and I always use cruise control on the highway, the highest mileage I have even got was around 15.7 I was surprised at the low mileage and if I was towing I could understand but this is just all highway driving , the only reason I got the f150 over a f250 was for the better mileage ,I wish I would have got the f250 now since mileage isn't much different , so I may trade now for a f250 with the 7.3 since I don't need a diesel and I can't imagine getting much worse mileage then I am now I have never had it in for any issues and have done al my own oil changes, but after a year of easy driving and never going over 70 I am ready to get a f250 now

Absolutely not .. between 21 to 22 708k engine's and under investigation 2.7 liters And 3.0 liter turbos

"truck is affordable" a supercrew shortbed XL 4x4 with the 2.7L is $44g MSRP... in what world is that base truck "affordable"

I’d trust that old Sierra you had over the ecoboost Ik those things go 300k miles

If the engines are really that powerful (not only this but nearly all new pseudo trucks) why do they have 8-10 speed transmissions? To make up for the lack of power? I did check DS-TRUCKS page and it's all Ford. Hmm.

5.0 FOR THE F150 NEVER A V6

US ARMY OIL PANS LEAK. HMMMMM MUST BE MADE IN CHINA. 2016 FORD F150 SPORT

Lol! Really rust on the axle! City people. People that actually use these trucks for work that is just part of a work truck. Not a pavement princess. If someone is complaining about this they should have a Tesla.

Fords fall apart saw 5 like this on the side of the road hahaha and there seats rip after 3 months and the paint inside peals off

Screw the ecoboost v6..lol....Hemi 5.7 all day

You're from South East Michigan clearly since you drove through Grose Pointe, I've got the same truck just a lariat, live in Belleville, let's start a club and be 😎 🆒️ Ford buddies😁🤩🥳🙌🏻🫶🏻🖤🫱🏿‍🫲🏻🤜🏻🤛🏿

My 2018 4x4 last 6000+ miles has average 15.2 fuel economy is just shit lol. Great engine tho can pull doesn’t feel slow but fuel economy just no no lol
