Only if you do good maintenance. I have a 2015 with 76k miles on it. I bought it used with 63k on it. The motor just spun a rod bearing due to gunk building up and plugging all the sensors and oil pump. Completely flooding the motor with metal shavings. No low oil pressure warning. No codes. Now it has a jasper reman engine. 🤢 Moral of the story. These trucks are incredible with awesome power. BUT... buy it new so you know the maintenance history or if used make sure you get proof of regular oil changes. (Saying this from a guy who only buys used)

My '16 F150 with the 2.7 , best truck and engine I have ever had in 50 yrs of driving. Keep oil changed every 3500 miles with Penzoil Platinum, cheap insurance. Pulls our RV at GVCW 12,500 in hills and mountains like it is not loaded. 2wd, and a 3.31 axle. Never strains, engine is smooth and rotationally silent. Uses no oil, truck by itself on interstate kept at 65mph gets 25mpg +/-. I am happy with it. I wish Ford would redesign the 3.5 using 2.7 tech so if I ever need a bigger set up a 3.5 max tow would be there. I love it.

The reason they have port injection is not to add more fuel. It is so fuel will wash over the intake valves and keep them from carboning up. The port injection only works at low rpms. At higher rpms only the direct injection operates.

I have a 2018 F-150 with the 3.5 Eco engine. I grew up with fast cars in the '60s and this engine makes incredible power. My only issue was the valve train had to be built at 55,000 (under warranty), due to the "death rattle" as I have heard it called, at start up. I purchased the Ford ESP up to 150,000 for the possible technology problems so, I'm good until then. It pulls my 20 ft. bass boat like it's not ever there. I change the oil every 5000 miles as well, currently 75,000 miles and counting.

Good video. Your best comment was your last one. Yes Ford recommends 10,000 mile oil change. Don't do that!! Reset the oil indicator in your dash to 50% life (approx. 5,500 miles). I am original owner, 2013 F150, 3.5 eco, 240,000 miles, Mobile 1 oil. Pull a 24ft boat almost every weekend, and a 30ft travel trailer in the winter months, other than water pump, plugs, coil packs, and a throttle-body...everything is original!! So, I believe everything that is pointed out in most KZfaq videos, is lack of proper maintenance. Would I buy another? Yes, and I am! The 3.5 ecoboost is one of the most technological advanced engines out there! If you take care of it, it will absolutely "haul-the-mail".

Great video, love your channel. I bought a new FX4 XLT at the end of 2019 and decided to go with the 3.5 eco boost. My younger brother has a 2013 platinum with a 3.5 and about 60,000 trouble free miles. Mine has about 32,000 miles on it and so far it’s the best truck I’ve owned. I heard about the 10,000 mile oil change when I first got mine, so I started researching it. Just about every thing I’ve read, or watched, says absolutely do not do that. I’ve seen tear down videos on the 3.5 showing what they look like when people do that, and I’ve seen videos by Ford master techs saying to stick with 3,500 to 5,000 max. That being said, people should do whatever makes them comfortable, as for me, I’ll stick with 3,500 mile oil changes.

The coking that you mentioned isn't due to rapid cooling of the turbos. When the engine has been working hard the turbos heat up and when you shut down the engine they get even hotter. The oil that lubricates the turbos stops moving and the excess heat from the engine cooks the oil causing the coking problem.

I have a 2020 king ranch I really enjoy driving. Ford advertises the max turbo boost as 15 psi which should therefore provide twice standard atmospheric pressure to the intake system. So presumably you can cram twice the air in which should be equivalent to a displacement of 7.0L or 427ci. That is why the light weight aluminum body combined with the V6 is so much fun to drive and still gets pretty good mileage on eco cruise control on the highway.

Interesting talking points on the direct injection and port injection. I think you missed a critical point of putting port injection in combination with DI. Direct injection has an issue with allowing build up of junk on the back of the valves much faster and aggressively than traditionally port injection. Port injection helps keep the back of the valves clean because the fuel hitting the back of the valves naturally helps clean them. While direct injection is certainly better in many ways you loose this cleaning effect. To say they added port injection on top of direct injection for “extra” fuel I think is a little off. Plenty of DI only engines out there making vastly more power on DI alone and the same can be said about port only engines. BMW and Mercedes ran into this issues on early DI only engines having excess build up very quickly on the back of valves and requiring the valves to be walnut blasted to clean. Adding port injection on top of DI in order to get the better efficiency of DI but also the occasional port injection cleaning action is the real reason and it’s a win win.

He didn’t want to say “all our single injector engines have a design flaw”! That cold start comment about piston lube whatever is untrue. Any cold start lube problems are caused by liquid fuel “washing down” the oil on the cylinder walls, cause excess wear and oil dilution. Problem solved by direct injection.

Ford has obviously told you many of the good points about the 3.5 EB. I owned a '19 XLT EB and put about 49k miles on it including two cross country runs towing trailers. It's a pleasure to drive and gets good mileage, overall. What this video does not cover is the numerous recalls, including can phaser programming updates and engine warranty extensions to help calm owners who are hearing reports of premature engine failure. More than one Ford employee told me my plan to hold on to the truck into high mileage might be a risky decision. But anyone buying an F-150 weighing in under 5k lbs to tow loads over 9k lbs needs to take time to adjust to its handling characteristics, particularly if you're moving down from any HD pickup.

@@ghostwrench2292 Unless your engine is a GDI it's not really a fair comparison. The 1st generation EB engines, like others that are purely GDI suffered because the oil becomes quickly contaminated with fuel. They also tend to see high amounts of carbon build up on the intake valves because there is no fuel to wash the valves. I followed Ford's original 10K LOF interval...a long time ago, and they ended up replacing the cam phasers, guides, etc... an expensive repair at Ford's cost, not mine. I've backed down to 5K and 70,000 miles later no issues and 150K on the motor now. To be fair they've completely redesigned the fuel system by adding multi port injection along with the GDI. The MPI is for normal, lower rpm operation and the GDI is for higher rpm use with better efficiency and power.

One great thing about the 3.5 Eco motor on the f150, the water pump is mounted externally. Not so hard to replace and if it fails it doesn't dump anti freeze into the oil. The 3.5 Eco motor used in the transverse / SUV applications has the water pump internally, which is a far inferior system. I suppose when mounted transverse they don't have the room for the water pump mounted externally.

Just bought my second 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150, first time Super Crew, this time got what fit my life better, Crew Cab, bench front, rubber floor, 6.5 foot bed, FX4, 3.73 rear, my old truck with 3.55 rear and 6 speed got 20.4, this thing with 10 speed gets 22.5 driven mostly in Econ mode, I’m a Grandpaw so that don’t bother me, the new truck rated to tow 10,600 lbs the old truck 7,000 lb. Even though it’s still a lowly STX interior materials look way better.

@@brandonsmith4825 if your not towing a lot or any I’d say 6-7000 miles would be good. 5000s even better but I wouldn’t go 10k I didn’t even go that long on my 5.9 Cummins I was doing 6-7000 on it

That's a lot more impressive on a 2.7 than a 3.5, the 2.7 is nowhere near as durable of a design, worse oil filtration and only uses direct injection instead of dual port, plus being a smaller motor there's just less meat there to deal with the same stress.

It’s an amazing engine when it’s not stretching timing chains and not sucking oil up into the intake manifold from the intercooler.

2018 King Ranch owner here and it’s that spicy 3.5. Only about 40,000 miles and we are getting a bigger inter cooler! I also am adding down pipes. These few things need to be upgraded. I just play it safe. And it goes fine!!

Loved it people need to know, especially women need to know what turbocharged engines do! So glad the old school Racing technology has finally made it way into every day cars and trucks! Just bought my wife a 2.0 turbo. It was A Ford Corporate car. So its Still considered her first owner car .Its a 2019 Fusion SLE All wheel drive. It's like a Mustang with 2 extra doors for the kids lol . Now I don't have to find my Mustang Disappearing as much lol . Thank you
