You will love the truck! Be sure run good *full synthetic engine oil* & Motorcraft filters every 5mis max. Comes from factory w/semi-synthetic engine oil. Adequate but not best for the high tech TGDI.

I wouldn't think that way, because it is turbocharged. I'd recommend you check fordtechmakuloco youtube channel

Except for the throttle body

It's a very high tech TGDI engine design ..though thoroughly proven in its 2nd Gen. Run good "full synthetic engine oil" w/ Motorcraft filters.. changed every 5k mis MAX (turbos need clean oil) an you be good!

They are excellent high tech engines. Just run a good brand full synthetic engine oil & Motorcraft filters every 5k mis MAX. You be fine. Owned Gen1 - 2.0L in MKZ & Gen2 - 2.0L in my '22 Edge AWD.

@@Davido50 I ran Mobil 1 and serviced mine well including transmission services and srtill ran into serious engine issues before 80k miles. I drive Toyota now and never looking back!

Yep. I finally got my 2022 back in October. It’s now March and I only have 1500 miles on it. I intend to baby this engine as much as possible, no burnouts or stress testing the power plant.

There are plenty of chemicals you can use to de carbon your turbos also using higher octane fuel with less ethanol helps a metric sh*t ton

This truck now has the second generation 2.0 engine and has been improved by Ford.

I think thats just the nature of the beast with the way manufactures are designing these cars , as long as people keep buying engines that have known issues , ( carbon build up) ( exhaust manifold cracking ) (high pressure, low pressure fuel pump failures ) then they will keep building them , I would like to see these problems addressed but according to Ford it’s the owners responsibility to maintain the car properly and not drive the snoot out of it , I believe if you do regular oil changes at 5k on the turbo cars and run a good fuel additive like Lucas injector cleaner and remember it’s not a 1/4 mile race car you will most likely have a good experience with this engine , one other thing you can do is if you have been pushing it hard or towing something when it’s time to park let it run at idle for at least 10 minutes to allow the oil temp to lower before shutting it down ,I did this on my Ford 7.3 and the turbo lasted for ever

@Craig Williams these newer turbo engines don't need to be idled after driven cause they have a system that circulates coolant/oil so the turbo can cool down and not heat soak. I was talking to a ford tech that mentioned it to me awhile ago.

2.0 Ecoboost exhaust manifold is integrated into the head. So basically it's all one piece. The exhaust manifold has a known problem it cracks. Ford is getting had a class action lawsuit against them for it. The other problem is that it is only direct injection and not port injection and direct injection. Other manufactures have both. So carbon will build up on the valves and you have misfires. Good luck .

Seriously! Mountune should make a kit for it.

Theres a lot of aftermarket parts for this engine

High pressure fuel line and regulator over the top. Logic argues the coil pack should be able to snake out from underneath without having to remove all of that. Luckily, 100k mile service interval on spark plugs.

It is a sealed unit without dipstick

Most engines are smaller than the body, it's how they fit inside.

@@TDTVGarage but if it was 3L with turbo maybe better?

It's not against the law. The owner's manual does not ask for it.

Why? They have been in production for well over a decade and are well proven.

@Kaffe Stein I didn't I bought a new Honda CR-V 2022 model..Love it so far already 3k miles on it.

Only direct injection on this engine.

Brake systems are becoming electronically controlled because of automatic safety features like automatic emergency braking which are almost standard equipment across the automotive market. Electric power steering is also standard fare because of pollution and smog issues around belt driven, fluid powered steering. Water damage to electric steering racks really isn't a thing anyway.

Beginning around mid-2019, Ford claimed to stop using the open-deck design between the cylinders and now uses a block design where the slits are the size of a pinhole directed through the cooling jacket. Rather than running coolant through an unnecessarily-wide opening, the coolant travels to a much smaller spot on the cylinder head, significantly reducing the risk of coolant penetrating the head gasket and leaking into the combustion chamber. When leaking does occur, it usually is in the middle of the engine between cylinders 2 and 3 but could affect cylinders 1 and 2 as well. There are loads of 2.0 motors with over 150k miles and are the old design, so I guess it's a roll of the dice with them. Just don't abuse them, add full synthetic every 6k miles and cross your fingers it's all good.

Find a new vehicle without one.

These have only direct injection

Because it is ;)

Lima only builds V6 engines: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lima_Engine

I work at at Cleveland engine. We build the 2.3 for the big bronco. No 2.0. I'm not sure where the 2.0 is built.

Don't know of any mowers with 250 horsepower!

Oh Ron, just because you drive your lawn tractor back and forth to the corner store to get more alcohol, doesn’t make your (powered by beer gut) lawn mower a “powerful vehicle”.

Maybe they should be making flying cars too.
