I've clocked 170,000 miles on my 2018 XLT 4x4, and it's been running smoothly with just regular preventative maintenance. Impressively, I've never encountered the first Check Engine Light. I'm running on 295's and still achieving 21 mpg, and I've yet to experience the transmission shifting issues that seem common in discussions. My truck came with the 36-gallon tank, which I absolutely love, as it allows me to cover 700 miles between fill-ups. In terms of towing, I've done about 15,000 miles in total with substantial loads. The 2.7's low torque curve combined with the 10-speed transmission ensures that power is always available when I need it. Despite initial advice from friends and family not to purchase a vehicle with the EcoBoost engine, I've been thoroughly impressed by the 2.7 and its construction. Even those who were skeptical at first - some of whom bought a model year newer with the 5.0 or a 3/4 ton with the 6.2 - have been amazed. Despite towing more than both, my vehicle has had fewer issues and has proven incredibly reliable. I've been considering getting a tune and fully intend to drive it until it can no longer be driven. This machine has not only met my expectations but exceeded them.

2017 2.7 STX crew cab- 250,xxx miles. Just replaced the evap sensor. Oil changes and tire rotations. Transmission serviced at 200k. 21mpg on average. First Ford, great truck.

I have a 2018 2.7. Coming up on 280k still runs strong

Probably the second or third time I’ve watched this video, I just read all the comments and the one thing a non-mechanical guy like myself can pick up is the key is timely maintenance.Still a great video love hearing from real owners!👍👍👍👍👍, I’m on my second 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150 and just like the first did till I traded at 94k running like a top, I’m so so on the 10 speed though, seems to hunt a lil more and Ford softened the throttle response a little compared to my 17, Absolutely love Broncos, I’ll never have one but their like a super model walking by, can’t take my eyes off them.

This model is gorgeous! it looks more masculine than the newers.

We bought a 2016 F150 Supercrew with the 2.7 and it has been great. Currently 113k and the only thing besides routine maintenance items I might replace is the upgraded oil supply line for the turbo. We make regular 2500 mile roundtrips between Texas and Georgia about 4 times per year now and I’m extremely confident in this truck!

Mine has 211.xxx miles on it. Still has original turbos, timing chain and cam phasers. I replaced the ignition coils at around 205,xxx miles as preventative maintenance. My truck has been tuned since around 100,xxx miles and is currently running on e50. Has run a 12.59 in the quarter mile and has averaged 18.2 mpg over the last 14,xxx miles on e50. 2016 Supercrew 4wd. I have lots of videos, check it out. That truck is still looking good!

I have a 2019 f150 with 2.7l 4x4 and I love this thing. I was worried about a small displacement engine in a truck until I did some research on how the engine was designed and I was sold. Zero issues with the truck and its well maintained. Recommend a tune especially for the Trans to help clean up the shifts. Everyone I know including myself have noticed sometimes the transmission doesn't know what gear to chose. Tuned and no more problems and more power. If your going to run the truck hard upgraded the intercooler to keep intake temps under control. The stock intercooler Robs you of power if its hot out or running the truck hard ie pulling a trailer or wot pulls.

This video was very helpful in making a decision about buying new. the high interest and high prices were bad enough but i still thought about buying at 70,000 but not anymore. Thanks for saving me thoushand and a car payment that equals a morgage.

2012 F150 3.5 ecoboost. Avg mileage 17.3. Smooth as the day I got it. And no rust so far in Ohio. It’s a keeper.

The 2.7 if taken care of can literally run easily over 300k

I have the exact same F-150, appreciate the information

That 2.7 ford ecoboost is built boy . Very good motor

I have a 2015 XLT with the 2.7L. 233xxx miles, turn the key and drive. I do have turbo wastegate rattle but I just turn the radio up and cruise! The 2.7 seems to be reliable and runs strong yet!

I picked up a very cheap 2018 xlt 300a with over 250,000 on it for a winter beater a couple years ago. And it’s as tight as my 2018 5.0 with 45,000 on it.

Just bought a 2017 XLT with 94,950 miles… glad to know i have plenty of life in it!

I'm running 35's with 3.73 gears on a 6" lift averaging 18mpg on my 2020 F150 2020 2.7L.

My friend has a 2015 i believe it is 2.7L with 230k miles no issues

Truck dealer for 30 years. Owned and sold thousands of trucks. My 2022 F150 4x4 crew is the best truck I have owned!

The way I looked at it is according to some info I found it seems the average time a turbo goes out on these is around 140-160k miles if they do go. Ford seems to charge about $1700 for a single turbo replacement with parts and labor. If I can get away with a $2k repair with 140k miles that’s not bad at all.

BTW - if those tires are oversized from the originals, he’s likely getting over 20mpg. Do an odometer check on the interstate with the mileage markers. Mine shows 0.9 miles for every mile traveled (dead on 9.0 miles for 10 mile markers).

I would definitely trust the 2.7 over the 3.0 liter. Although when you said it was an upgrade for the Bronco motor I was shocked. I figured it would be be standard for the Bronco.

22% fuel efficiency decrease is a hard pill to swallow if your not actually going off road. If this thing is just a commuter/road tripper I'd be putting the original wheels and some HT tread tires back on it. Keep the other ones in the garage and just put them on and use them as needed.

That is amazing guys i have 2016 2.7 XLT twin turbo eco. Mileage of 31k plus I LOVE MY TRUCK NOW I HAVE IDEA THAT THIS TRUCK RUN FOR A LONG TIME 👍🏻🇺🇸🇵🇭 thx for the nice video

So many trucks on Craig's list the only say 6 cal. I know that the 2.7 is way better than the 3.5 so I wish I had info on when they use the 2.7 and when they used the 3.5.

Have 84,580 on my 2018 XLT 2.7 Crew Cab 19 city and 23-25 highway. Lots of trips mainly highway driving, oil changes, Tires 275.65.18 and brakes. Made a mistake not replacing spark plugs at 40,000+, it will need coolant and transmission flush soon. don't make the same mistake I did by not replacing spark plugs at 40,000, finally replace at 70,000 and they were shot!

A few of my friends had the 3.5 has had turbo problems leaks

I may just grab a 2.7. 200,000 is the magic number, but with proper care and some luck 200,000 is highly likely. I'm going for a 2012 Toyota Tundra. The Coyote makes me nervous as does the 3.5 EB. I feel like people people are less likely to rag on a 2.7, or Tundra. If we would only think of the next guy when taking care of a truck. That could be somebody's way to work, and through everyday life. I had an '03 F150 that was fine, but I took it through deep water and it wasn'tthe same. At 45 now, I'm looking for a modest bare bones truck with FWD for here in Michigan.

Nice truck, I had a 2020 2.7 f150 4x4 with 3.55 gears and extra fuel capacity, my mileage was never over 16 mpg ,I drove 90 percent highway and had it in the shop 2 times to see if they could do anything about the milage and they said keep driving it its running fine , I did but it never in reased and I finally sold it due to the poor mileage, I was going to see about a shop doing a tune on it to get it running as Good as possible but never got around to it but overall the truck was fantastic, I never had a issue, I changed oil every 5000 miles and was very pleased except for my mileage that never got better , it's good to see the reliability is good and mine was to , I would recommend the 2,7 engine ,I just got that 1 in 100 that was probably not up to par

Nice Rig! I’m hoping to get 300k+ on mine. Consider running AMSOIL Signature Series in it with a catch can. 🤙🏽

It’s impressive he got that mileage while changing oil every 7500 miles. I’d be afraid to wait that long especially with turbos.

Nice video. How is the Bronco doing mpg wise? I had a four door Bronco with the 2.3 engine and could only manage 18 mpg. I now have a two door Bronco with the 2.7 engine and on a recent trip saw 21 mpg, but that was mostly on back roads. Keeping it under 70 mph definitely helps. Thanks.

I believe the 2018 and above 2.7L Ecoboosts switched to a wet belt driven oil pump. I'm really interested in how the new gen engines and those belts are holding up

I'm going to attempt to talk my wife into an STX trim XL for the simplicity. This is an important video for keeping an open mind for long-term. Fords are generally good trucks and if the old 4.6s/5.4s (2 valve) can last over 250,000 miles I don't see why these can't. I just wonder about overall. I'm not concerned with looks.

I came to this video I was worried I just bought a 2018 2.7 xlt 4x4 so far I love the truck but I bought it with 50k miles and have been worried cause post and people say after 60k or 80k miles timing chain needs replaced I have no idea what that cost but I’m sure it’s high and post about carbon build up anyways this is why I checked you video out to see one with high millage and your review sure hope mine does last as long as yours has i traded in my 13 z71 in towards this used 18 f150 I’m loving the 22 mpg I’m averaging so far truck feels like it has more power than my z71 just wondering about reliability I had the z71 6 years 144k miles just 02sensor replacement and HVAC replaced which cost me a boat load and never worked right otherwise I would have probably keep that truck

The Bronco for me(if i had the money😜)..maybe in another color..the yellow Bronco i like. Nice yellow..my taste at least..

I talked shit when the eco boost came out. Got rid of my ram 1500 due to gas mileage reasons for a suv. Now that I miss having a truck the 2.7 is catching my interest especially it being out for so long, it’s iron block, and the high mileage reviews I see

2017 2.7 4x4 factory 20 inch wheels. 17 mpg is normal for me. 3.55 rear end gears.

I hope I’m commenting on this saying zero issues when I have well over 200k miles on my 22’ f150 supercrew 2.7L!

People find it hard to believe a 2.7 will last this long because of old school people like Scotty Kilmer. He thought Ford was going to fail. GM and Toyota has done the same thing. I bought my 2016 F165 new (F150 2.7 aka 165 cuin). It has 97k miles and I replaced a $20 coolant temp sensor @ 69k miles. I change my oil myself when the computer get to 15%. I have gone 8,900 miles before I change the Motorcraft 5w30 synthetic blend oil. I still don't have to add oil between oil changes. I did drop the transmission pan and filter @ 87k miles. The only other thing I did was use HP Tuner to raise the top speed to 120 mph. For some reason, the stop/start don't work anymore but I never liked it anyway.

I am in the market for buying a used truck and as of today I just started seriously considering the 2.7 eco-boost. I’ve found one that’s a 2015 crew cab 4x4 2.7 with 176k miles on it and they’re asking $16k for it. Its a 1 owner clean CARFAX truck. It’s at a lot not a individual so doubt there’s much wiggle room for the cost. What’s your thoughts on it? I don’t really tow at all except for our zero turn occasionally on my dads 6x12 trailer so not really anything at all in terms of towing. Seems like most things I’m seeing are positives on this engine and I only drive about 5-7k miles a year so not much miles getting racked up in my case which is why I’m considering a higher mileage purchase and also I’m trying to stay around that price range. Thanks for the video!

I gotta 2020 f150 2.7 xlt with 45,000 only thing ive done to it is oil change. You think i should do a multi-point inspection soon?

I have a 2015 Expedition EL with 3.5L Ecoboost with 170k. No major problems. Kept up on all maintenance. Original turbos and everything. My engine runs quieter than this 2.7

Dang, u need to rotate the tires on that 150 or a front end alignment.

I have a 2017 2.7 that has 236xxx miles with only a evap purge solenoid changed.

I have the 2.7 on my 2018 STX SuperCab. Gas averages close to 17 (i drive like an ass) and i only have 30,000 miles on it.

What kind of exhaust does he have? I want to do something with my exhaust but don’t know what option to go with.

Just bought a 2019 Lincoln Continental with the 2.7. Is that the same engine that the trucks got? This car only has 2k miles on it. Bought the 10 year ESP and looking forward to many trouble free miles!

I’m planning to replace my 2014 Silverado 5.3 with a 100k mile 2019 f150 2.7, should I stick w a newer Silverado or go for the f150. I don’t haul much just tools ladder saw for work

What is the engine hours/idle hours on this truck

Is there a school of thought that F150 made in a certain plant are more reliable than the other plant, or is 2.7 just a better engine no matter where it is built?

there is a 2016 Ford f-150 xlt with the 2.7l ecoboost for sale near me. It has 162,000 miles and is a supercrew with new tires and oils. Asking 18k. Worth it?

I'm intrigued by the 2.7 I want a truck that do at least 500K miles because I don't want to buy another truck if I'm spending high dollar on one

Not so sure you would get those results in a cold climate like where I live....after a while having to start at -20, -30 or -40 below temps..i think the turbos will probably give it up and i have heard actual experienced mechanics insist the oil change interval must be shortnened...to Like every 4k miles...in order to prolong turbo life...im skeptical....

Did the f150 have an exhaust or was that stock?

son buenas yo tengo una f150 del mismo color 2015 2.7

I got 64,000 miles on my 2016 F150 I think i got a lot of life left in my Truck !!!

did you change transmission oil ?

I have 286,700 on my 2015

Time for the boneyard! It sounded terrible like it was eating itself would not recommend Ford can keep em

What fuel do you use

Is this a 10 speed ?

Have a 2016 with 2.7, have had a turbo replaced because of oil consumption and blue smoke at startup , had the rear differential blow out the carrier bearing as well this all under 80,000 i dont tow and religiously maintain it since new. Purchased it new and am very unsatisfied with it, currently has 90,000 and it starting to smoke again at start up. i payed 45 grand for it and wish i bought a tundra. My warranty just expired and hopefully nothing else goes out because this bastard is nickle and diming me. Oh and almost forgot panaramic sunroof replaced 3 times for leaks and it still leaks!!! last ford ill ever buy....

3.5l or 2.7l ?

Watch out if you own a Gen 2 2.7. They have that shitty belt that runs the oil pump instead of a chain like the gen 1.

Mother law 2018 65000 miles dies on her dies on her turbo replacement

looks like it has the capacity to tow a microwave oven. I wouldn't touch this girlie truck to save my life.

Watch out for the dreaded wet belt failure

180k is not high mileage.

Biggest REGRET OF MY LIFE. I knew better. I Fu@king knew better. But I bought a ecoboost. 2.7 f150. I love the truck. But I HATE THE LOW POWER 2.7. it is trash. 3 months and I'm parking it covering it. Going back to my 2015 v8 XLT. THAT HAS FULL POWER HAS NO LAG. 4x4 is useless on A 2.7. Sounds like a Lil girls car. No top end at ALL. AND 4 TO 6 SECOND LAG ON TAKE OFF. I DO KNOT FELL SAFE ON INTERSTATE DRIVING THIS GARBAGE. The 2.7 struggled to tow my bass boat. In fact did better in regular mod. Tow mod is useless. It is a motor that should never been on a Man's truck.
