I'm so glad i held on to my 2001 lariat 5.4 f50. It has 331000 and has never left me stranded. I had a accident and it was totalled out i bought it back and fixed the slight damage. It still runs great. I was thinking of buying a new one glad i didn't.

The “swooshing” sound you speak of on your F150, are you sure it’s the transmission? I see you have the 2.7 Ecoboost and you might just be hearing the sound of the turbos moving air as the boost increases since you mention it happening while pulling a grade. If this is the case the sound you hear is completely normal.
@theoverdriveconsumerchanne4424 15 сағат бұрын
Its not my turbos. I'm on my third ecoboost truck and none of them made this sound. I'm going to try to capture the sound. I've had a 2.7, 3.5, and my current truck is a 23 -3.5. Thanks for the response.

If you are a coyote guy, don't look under the hood and ignore the exhaust note, just drive the 2.7 and write the check. I've had both over many years, and many times, and I have zero regrets with this motor. I will admit, I don't typically keep a truck for more than 3 or 4 years at best and don't drive more than 10k per year. The 2.7 is a blast to drive .. my two cents.

The CDF drum issue is way more widespread than people know. It’s very disappointing Ford didn’t fix until 2023+, and isn’t supporting the older trucks which are failing constantly. These are fantastic units once that one issue is fixed and the bushing doesn’t walk.

The van is going to have more room and be a little bit more kid-friendly while the Highlander will be higher off the ground and feel more like a truck. It will be less kid-friendly but honestly, both are great options. My wife said she would never drive a minivan again.

@@cigarsgunsandgasoline8032To be fair the toyota 3.4 liter v6 is a brand new motor for them. As with any manufacturer. There will likely be quirks that will have to be worked out overtime. Toyota has always took the time over the years to perfect their engines. I would expect that they will continue to do so. One of the biggest challenges for all automakers today. Is to try and keep u with the constant epa regulations the US government keeps upping. That's why we have 10speed transmissions, turbo 4 and 6cyl engines in trucks. That's why we have these tunes that really kill the performance of our vehicles. That's why we have all of these plastic parts to save weight on vehicles these days. You can blame the government for alot of the bs we have to deal with. @cigarsgunsandgasoline8032

my work we got a 2022 F-350 with the 10 speed with 60,000 miles with zero issues practically a trailer on it it's whole life about 16000 pounds probably around my only complaint is the exhaust break on the 10-speed is absolutely horrible I almost could never get the exhaust brake to work properly on its own without using the manual shifter best way to describe it it's very weak and very faint compared to the 6-speed it's a night and day difference between the two besides that it tows amazing

I have a 2013 Ford Edge SE, 3.5L FWD, a little over 97k miles, had a recall for the brakes booster, was scary and very dangerous but they fixed it pretty quickly, also had to replace the transmission fluid, was vibrating and shaking, my fault though I think because I had a trailer hitch put on and towed the "largest" U Haul trailer loaded down with it from Denver to S. Florida, runs fine now though with plenty of power and drives and runs like new (knock on wood). I love it!
