My Grandma just passed away and I inherited her 2015 platinum f150 5.0 love this truck gonna have it a long time

Oh man. What a great thing to have. Remember your oil changes every 5k and do the larger maintenance at 100k and 150k.

I have the 2011 lariat, with 214,000 and driven a lot daily! If I ever have to upgrade I’ll get the 2015

Four wheel drive ?

How's it treating you? Planning to get one at the end of this year.

That’s the same truck I want. It’s difficult to find one with the 373 gears and big gas tank.

Not really a fan of the aesthetics of any of the newer 🛻.

Congratulations bro !! You will love it

@@eddroberts1681 oh I do! Lol

I have a 2015 F150 XLT with the V6 Twin Turbo. No engine issues at 160K Miles with routine oil changes. Only thing i have replaced was the start/stop oil pump on the transmission. Has been a pretty solid truck as well. Would however like my next one to be a 5.0

You haven’t had any jerking or clunking with down shifts or up shifts?

42K? That's a lot of sitting after 8-9 yrs.

I have a 15 XLT w/ V6 twin turbo. Has had plenty of power and not had any issues at 160k miles. I will say i do love the Coyote however and want that in my next truck!

This one is way faster lol

Yeah I already have a video about that situation in the library

Take care and save your money which you provably doing already as it just wheels . I have several friends with over 250000 with no issues and regular oil changes . Be well .

@daxd8358 Thanks brother 👍👍😎

If I remember

Another great video, very good point by point explanation of why you chose the engine, and model year pick up that you now enjoy so much. I as a huge fan of yours am very happy for you and your points that you did point out to us were very well spelled out . This is your truck bought with your hard earned money 💰 . Enjoy it . Wishing you and your family a great and happy weekend 😊 bodymanbob from Alabama

When I bought my 18 eco 10speed it was stupid clunky for 2.5 weeks. Once it learned my driving habits it became the smoothest shifting vehicle I’ve ridden in. I’ve done the math. Yes, the v6 ecoboost will likely require a timing job between 100-150,000k. But by that mileage you will have saved more in gasoline alone over the v8, the saving nearly pay for two timing jobs. Not to mention having more power, and less strain/weight on every other moving part of the truck. Suspension, bushings, brakes, tires, you name it.

Buy an aftermarket Raptor grill and have it paint matched for $400 or so all in.

Hows it held up?

@@Sp3rmWizrd , mine has almost 80,000 on it now, just took it in for service after working on a pipeline in Ohio for the past 3 1/2 months. Tailgate handle broke, easy fix, passenger front seatbelt clicker not working, easy fix, video screen for navigation and radio would just turn black about every 3rd or 4th time I started the truck, APIM module behind the radio had to be replaced which would cost about 1300 bucks if your vehicle is out of warranty, Battery was bad causing auto start/stop to act up, OEM battery is about 225 bucks. The biggest issue I had was it was shifting hard between 4th and 5th gear. They ended up having to rebuild my transmission at just under 80,000 miles! I tow a side by side for work and occasionally a bass boat, so I’m not over working it by any means. The service manager at the dealership told me they’ve rebuilt 9 of the 10 speed transmissions in the last 2 months alone. Took mine to a transmission shop while I was in Ohio and had the fluid changed, filter and flush, to the tune of 450 bucks, looks like it was wasted money. Dealer still has it because they are waiting on special “ one time use “ bolts to put the transmission back together. I’ve been driving a brand new ‘23 XLT around for about 3 weeks as a loaner. Guess it could be worse? 😂

Straight six with dual fuel tanks and it needed them 😢

My dad has a 92’ with a 4.9 and just hit 411,000 miles. Original engine. Rebuilt tranny and 100k (it was a work truck prior to us owning it). Just tune ups and routine maintenance.

15 - 17 was prime..... 18 - 20 had oil consumption issues

You’re right on the blue, I have a 17 in Lightning blue and the paint on the roof in the rain gutters started peeling something awful. The tailgate started peeling the same way…

Thanks, you too!

Just watch the oil consumption

Ya i hear that ,i have been watching my oil level and i dont have any oil consumption at all. short drives around town or long hauls 6 hrs or more . I was told about turning off the adaptable learning on the Transmission what do you think about that and the 10 spds have a new tsb out very recently about drum recall idk but the truck i have is great i just hate the auto stop the only thing I hate about the truck. I get 1280 km per full tank on highway which is wow . But anyways keep on making videos i appreciate em cheers

I agree. If you want reliable and cheap hp gains, 2.7 is a formidable platform. Mine is e50 tuned and has been phenomenal. 208K and counting.

If you aren't already, make sure you use fluid film on the frame of your 2017. Takes about 6 cans or you can buy the gallon and a pump setup. Either way, make sure to get inside and outside the frame front to back. Good insurance to protect the frame here in the Northeast. Do it before each winter. only takes a couple hours.

With 35 in tires I am right at about 19 - 20 miles to the gallon

@@FordBossMe my 17 5.0 6 speed lariat will do 24mpg if i keep it around 60mph which is crazy for a 5.0, mine has max tow, sport appearance 4x4 and a few other nice things, it is basically the perfect 1/2 ton truck spec wise. the gen2 5.0 with the 6 speed is the gem of the f150's line up they figured out all the shortcomings of the gen1 before they messed with it again and messed up the gen3 motors. over the years i have found its always best to buy the last year before the gen change as that's the point when they have 99% of the kinks worked out, i never buy a face lift/next gen when they initially come out, they always have teething problems. the other bonus of doing it that way is on average you will save about 10k on a new truck if the new year is already on the lot. brand new 17 5.0 lariat was 53k, the 18 sat next to it was 64k for the exact same spec, i kinda wanted the 10speed at the time but im so glad i let my wallet and common sense choose the 6 speed now ;-)

@@weldchip My shop teacher in HS in the early 90's told us the end of a technology is better then the beginning of a new technology. I find that true still today.

2018 was the 3rd Gen have oil consumption issues

If you're getting a 2.7 L ecobooster pretty solid but the ten speed transmission does have shift issues If you are getting a 3.5 L EcoBoost they had between 2017 and 2020 cam phaser rattle on Startup issues with the timing components and there was a third generation change to the cam phaser to fix the red line startup but not everybody went and got it in time and it also has the 10 speed shifting issue And then you had the 2018 to 2020 F-150 with the 5.0 l and 10 speed transmission that had oil consumption problems and also shifting problems so I typically tell people if you're going to buy an F-150 2015 to 2017 5.0 is your best bet
