They are decent compared to the 1st gen coyote 5.0, and the problem ridden 1st gen 3.5 ecoboost, but I've repaired PLENTY of broken valve springs on many 6.2 ford engines. Both in the superduty chassis and the raptors. I've yet to see ANY newer ford gas engine turn 300k yet without major work. I'll stand by my experience, and many others with the 7.3. 6.2 would need serious help working this hard for this long. This old truck is much more reliable, by a long shot, than a 6.2, or ANYTHING newer, from any brand, in any model. Maybe the same era 12v Cummins could be a contender. I've seen more million mile 7.3 trucks than I can count in my career so far... Could not say that about another vehicle no matter the make, model or year. Ever. I have yet to see a million mile second gen dodge either. The dodge truck itself isn't up to the task. Great engine in a shit truck. As I said, and also fact, It's by far, one of the most reliable and industrial engine options ever available in a pickup, and no the 6.2 doesn't even come close in reliability. They certainly don't build them like they used too. - From a well seasoned Ford tech of over 20 years.

I also have an early DOHC 4.6L 95 Lincoln Continental. It broke a valve spring and easy repair. Those are also considered very high reliable engines. 5.7L toyota trucks have the issue too. How many of those spring grenade the engine though? I am sure some, but rare. I believe it happens because the 6.2 has very long springs. There are guys with 4,500K on 6.2Ls. I even thought of replacing mine (probably a sunday of work) but the ford parts guy talked me out of it, he said it is quite rare to grenade an engine and the new spring has a risk too! He said there is one in the bay with 500 miles! Next to the 3v 5.4L though the 6.2 is miles ahead in reliability, but I agree no modern engine is perfect. Even the crown vics can blow plugs. I am not familiar with the truck diesel engines, but they sound very reliable! They also have little emission hardware which causes nightmares. My neighbor has a newer 2019? ecoboost and the phasors were replaced TWICE already. I picked him up once in my truck :lol: It used to rattle like an old chain every morning.

My brother in law has the same engine in his f250. After 600K miles he decided to have a new one installed. He decided on the engine swap ($10K) over $90-110K for a new f250. When they’re not pulling their 5th wheel, they’re pulling their horse trailer. He’s had the transmission rebuilt and last year he had a new 3rd member installed.

Great list 👍🏻 I bought my 2020 Civic Sport Sedan with the 2.0 Naturally Aspirated port injected K20C2 engine paired to a 6 speed manual transmission. Definitely the most reliable way to go for my daily driver, I’m not a fan of the 1.5T direct injection engine or CVT transmission for reliability.

Toyota 1UZ-FE, Suzuki J20A, BMW M30B34/35 (yeah...some might be surprised how reliable this thing was), Honda A20A4...the engines from the 80s ~ 90s were some of the most reliable to this day.

I can attest to the reliability of the Honda 3.5 and the Toyota 3.5. I have owned both and taken them to 200,000 miles with no major issues. I slightly prefer the Honda mostly because I like the Pilot better than the Highlander, but both engines are stellar. The Honda timing belt job isn't terrible really.

I agree. I have owned both Toyota and Honda cars and trucks. My current Pilot has over 155K miles without any drive train problems. The Tacoma I had was trouble free with over 175K miles on the 3.4L V6. We've had a CRV and Odyssey as well. My wife currently drives a 2020 Highlander that should be passed to my younger daughter when she is old enough to drive. I will be passing my Pilot to my oldest daughter within a couple years and getting either a Toyota or Honda truck.

Not a common problem on the Lexus GX. The engines in these really have no major issues before 200,000 miles that can be considered common. Especially with a new 2023 model with over a decade of engine refinement/improvement behind it.

It's too bad that toyota is dropping the v6 in the Highlander. Great engine and very reliable. I worry the 4cyl turbocharged engine is trouble for the future because of more moving parts and working harder.
