Scotty I love Ford Motor Company but I want to stay with the years 1987 to 1991 on their F250s and 350s and Ford Econoline Vans 250s and 350s I've been living full-time in my Ford Econoline 250 van and I've owned it for over five and a half years now
I would be interested to listen to your opinion about the 2.7 liter Ecoboost. Especially the 2018-19 model years, I tried and drove one was surprisingly powerful and carried the body with ease, the gas mileage much better compared with the 3.5 not to mention the 5.0.
I wish American car industry every success but once disposable economy was introduced post WW2 American industry has lost ability to make sound products ,which was once the case..
I’ve got a 2011 F-150 with the eco boost engine. I bought it used nearly 5 years ago. I change the oil just as Scotty recommends, every 5k, with full synthetic and I have 158k miles. This engine burns no oil, runs smoothly but gets lousy gas mileage. Probably the best I get on the highway is 17 or maybe 18 mpg. I love it though.
09:45 I drive for Old Dominion Freight Line . Things are not actually flowing well in my division, so I thought it time to get my own trucking business into Operation. I came across your channel two months ago after I have applied for SBA loan multiple times myself to get a new truck and start my business but my application was denied. I decided to pay and hire a Financial Loan/ Grant Agent that help me look out for the best Trucking Business Grant program that suite my business and credit score. I'm very happy to inform you that after Four weeks of application process with the grant agent. I have finally been approved for $187,000 Business Grant. I will be able to get all my business equipments and a 2019 Freightliner T12664ST Sleeper Tractor this January and my business will start it's operation fully. Thank you so much and Happy New Year to Everyone seen this today.
I have a 2016 F150 with the V8...It has 272,500 miles as of today, and it works great! I change oil every 7,500 miles, changed trans fluid and filter twice and a few other things...
Yeah, I kinda notice most of the people bragging about mileage on the EcoBoost are around 130-160K. The 5.0 can go 250K easy with normal maintenance, tons of people have that. Now the rest of the truck ofc may fall apart, but not the engine.
Thats the key is finding something you love!!!! Then its not work but most of us are slaves to the matrix stuck in the rat race, these people are so lucky to work for themselves thats true happiness!!!!!!
Bought a 13 F 150 xl 3.5L with 50,0000 miles 4 years ago for $10,000, currently similar vehicle are now selling for $16,000. Going to keep it forever. Also have a Z71 with over 200.000 miles for when the snow flies.
I have the 2018 2.7L eco boost 4 door. It is my companies truck and I have put 114k miles highway on it. Flawless, gets over 21 mpg. I would say it was bad if it was, since it is not mine. It is a really good well made truck.
Buying a new, full-size pickup is crazy these days, the sticker price is higher than a Lamborghini Countach was in the days of my youth. I'll keep my 2000 Ford Ranger 'til I die, since the BMW I3 I got last year has taken over 98% of the duty.
Im so glad i saw this video from Scotty, I bought the same exact color truck 4x4, 2022. So far im really happy with it. I don't tow or pull, just love the space, height and comfort. Thanks Scotty, for this info.
I bought a 19 f150 with the 5.0, new years ago. Sitting at 55k miles now. Same trim level and fx4 pack. I am so glad I bought it. Been great truck and I am going to run my family around with it for another 4 years easy.
40 years ago coworker had Isuzu diesel American style ,not cab over pickup , bigger than Ford ranger long bed , 40 mpg . Asked if Vermont cold start troubles etc said he wouldn't know glow plug from snow plug just a lucky consumer , he just shows it the key .
F150 advice: V6: Hauling luggage, furniture, or lighter stuff and maybe once a month haul a trailer. V8: Hauling a camper, skid loader, or a few atvs on a tandem.
I have a 2015 F-150 Lariat/well dressed out; 4 wheel drive; 6 cylinder/turbo boost. Have less than 70,000 miles. We are the original owners, it was my husband's company truck. We got a big toy hauler (motorcycles) so I bought the truck out of the company. Excellent gas mileage. Around town 18-19 (I don't have a heavy foot). On the road/interstate I have gotten 27 MPG. Company paid oil changes, etc. so it has had regular oil changes. I love this truck & I have never pulled anything. We had a 22' Enclosed trailer that we pulled our 2 bikes in & carried clothes/tools/etc. & just rented a place to stay when we traveled. It made one trip to AZ (used to have a winter home) hauling the bikes in the trailer. We sold our AZ winter home in 2020. Sold the trailer to our son. Bought a toy hauler so we went back to a dually truck. But I kept the F-150 & have put very few miles on it.
Even if you dont turn the 4 wheel drive on , lots of things like the driveshafts, U joints, etc are still moving and wearing out . Unlike the old school 4x4 with Lockouts on the front axle that disengaged the front axle .
For me I still prefer the Coyote V8 in my 2011 Ford F150 over the EcoBoost V6 for reliability and don't have to worry about religious maintenance on it like you do with the EcoBoost engines.
Scotty your enthusiasm is another Level! Scotty you nailed it, My dad has a 2.7 with 189K miiles V6, Orignal Turbos, yes Synthetic oil change every 5K miles, He is confident to get 250K
Ford truck for sell It’s a 2007 I got in 2021 Issues with the truck: 1) It doesn’t run - needs battery, cooling system repair, all fluids changed. 2) Insurance and registration updated
Bought my 2010 F150 crew cab new, 4.6 3v with 6 speed auto. 166k miles and no problems!! Regular maintenance on time all the time. Cruises at 72 mph on the highway getting 23 mpg... just fine by me.
I too have a 2010 F150 crew cab with the 4.6L 3V. Current mileage is about 175K. I also do the routine maintenance on schedule. But mine only gets 14mpg on good day! What's your secret to getting 23mpg?
I'm crazy about my 3.5L Ecoboost in my F150. The torque is unbelievable. I ordered mine fully loaded with every option. The only gripe I have are the cheap front inner fenders. I had the driver's turbo go out and decided to replace the cloth inner fender well with a plastic aftermarket one. Overall it's a great truck but it's true you better be religious with the oil changes.
@@fishinnewengland4807 Funny you should mention that. I just finished up replacing the phasers Timing chan's, and cams in another 3.5L that didn't change his oil like he should have. It's mostly the first generation 3.5L engine that are having the phasers and timing chain problems. Just like Scotty said, change the oil and it's going to last.
I still kick myself for not buying a used truck. My truck is almost 6 years old now, but I paid almost $40K for the damn thing. Live and learn. There are good used pickups to be had out there for a fraction of the cost.
Yes and no,, you bought new and you know the maintenance and use you did. You buy a used truck that thing could have towed, been off-road, beat on, driven hard by the family kids, etc, etc. Besides $40k truck today is a bargain . Full size truck 4x4, your looking at $60k...
@@recyclespinning9839 True, mine is full size, V8 and 4x4, but spending $40k on any vehicle is just not in my DNA. I had never spent more than $10k on a vehicle before that. I’m out on new trucks today, $60k is obscene.
3.5L is still only 214 cubic inches (rounded up). It's smaller than the Ford 300 straight 6. The biggest Ford V6 is the Essex 3.81L, a replacement for the 300 6, which is still only 232 ci. Those a small engines for a truck. The 300 is almost indestructible and one of the best engines Ford ever made. Small engines as you know generally have to work much harder than V8 engines. All that power in a small engine tends to shorten the life of the engine unless it's babied. Work it like a truck and it's lifespan goes down.
The standard for engine life is 150000-200000 miles these ecoboosts will easily exceed that with proper oil changes, you all can stop your bitching about weak old engines that aren't around any more for a reason.
@@TWEB2010 SUPER! I still have an '81 F250 300 Carbed engine. Still running very well. Also have '91 F250 7.3 IDI with 836,000 miles on the clock. No engine issues at all apart from the occasional air intrusion in the fuel system.
@ericschaefer7378 Have fun in you're overpriced plastic EcoBoost truck till it breaks mate, also my 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 will definitely outlast you're overpriced EcoBoost truck with ease as well.
my v8 had 395hp, id always go with a coyote over twin turbo. got me a F150 2016, been my best friend ever since. great truck never has had an issue aside from where i live they salt the ground which caused my exhaust to rust n snap underneath, 3 inch pipe fixed that though!
i have the 2017 V8 4x4 Supercrew & have only has an issue with the a/c Ford replaced it out of warranty free of charge and gave me 7 years warranty on it this year. When i rent trucks i always go for the V6 because they have lots of pep and fuel economy is insanely good.
Got the 2015 5.0 V8 . Change the oil with full Syntenic @ 6000 miles. Works for me but I don't run my truck hard. It's my DD . I can't drive much harder than an old lady going to church because of deer. I work nights so go about 50 MPH max
He has. I think the emphasis here is for 15k you should buy. Not for the retail market value. Some one said up in the comments. 25k30k for its comparables.
after 45 years I'm on F-series #5, a 2018, all v-8's, carbureted , my last three all bought new, all 4 wheel drive, the only way to go, my old 84 F-250 with a 351 I drove for 21 years, and is still on the road, under it's third owner, my now 18, 5L with 395 hp, no problems towing, plowing, whatever, and other than maintenance, all the Fords I've had have been champs
I got rid of my SXT 4 DOOR 5.0 F150. IT WAS A GREAT TRUCK. BUT IT WAS A QUEEN MARY! MY SANTA CRUZ DOES EVERYTHING I NEED AND STILL PULL MY 19 FOOT CAMPER NO PROBLEM. BUT ! LIKE YOU SAID. BECAUSE OF THE TURBO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE OIL CLEAN. PRASE GOD HYUNDAI GIVES ME FREE SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES.
Scotty thanks for another great video. For all the times you've talked about these vehicles having problems it's exciting to see you show one that doesn't
People in New Hampshire need to learn on this Scotty Four wheel drive is not for ice on the highway to go 100 or 80 when the sign say 65 and you show be going 30 . Most likely the drive is for Massachusetts on a New Hampshire highway
I used to pull a bass boat with a 2WD 1500 and exactly what Scotty said happened. Ramp was slimey and I was sliding back into the water. Luckily someone had a chain and we wrapped around there before I lost my boat and truck. Crappy experience.
I can understand it. When something is new and unproven, he’s warning that you’re taking a massive risk. Wait a while and see if it worked out and if it seems ok, go find a low mileage one for half the cost of a new one. It’s not for everyone but it’s for people who can’t afford to buy twice.
Also 6:00 axle code L9 means he has a limited slip or locker 3.55 ratio. Not a towing ratio but not a non towing one more like a towing but not super heavy towing one. And since I don't see an electric locker in that 4wd switch that means limited slip.
One of the main reasons I hate the eco-boost engine is because of the direct injection. There is no gasoline being sprayed on the valves so with the EGR system they tend to carbon up in the valve, stem, and intake ports. It is very expensive to clean the intake without disassembly. If I recall, Audi and BMW had problems with that type of setup years ago.
I know you like regular keys, Scotty, but I have a keyless ignition in my 2016 Honda Accord and I never have to take it out of my pocket. Couldn't be easier.
i much prefer my 2011 5.0 Lariat with 115k miles. paid $17k for it 2 years ago. naturally aspirated nd far less issues with cam phasers going out. i avoided the ecobeast lol
I got a 2017 outdoorsman ram slt had 33,000 miles now 44000 doing well very good condition put a decent amount down and feeling good. Came from a dodge dakota wish they still made those. Glad I don't need to buy now for awhile.
I agree that the new Chevy trucks are not what the old ones were! But I guarantee you the 4.3 Vortec motor in the Chevy truck will run a half a million miles on a regular basis!
My son paid $15,000.00 for a 2003 Dodge Ram diesel with 300,000 miles on it. King cab, Cummins diesel.He pulls his 28 foot family camper all over the place, Georgia mountains, North Carolina, Florida etc,etc. no problems yet
I'd still take the 5.0 over the 3.5 or any ecoboost at that. Not saying the ecoboost is Abad engine. But that v8 will take more abuse and just simply last longer. NA vs boosted
trailers because they've destroyed lift height and made the beds useless unless you're packing for a longer trip this is why so many are going to sprinters and other small vans for commercial work
HP is isn’t why I’d take a 5 liter over the 3.5 because if I’m not mistaken the 3.5 makes more torque anyone. The eco is too complex and the 5.0 sounds way better.
Ummmmm Scotty these ecoboosts are GREAT for towing. My 16 2.7 ecoboost actually towed my 7800lb camper a lot stronger than my 18 5.7 Tundra and that’s a real world FACT. You got that one wrong, but nailed everything else about these trucks! Love mine!
Hello Scotty you are an absolute best please leave a link on you on on your stuff on what computer you have and what computer you use to analyze the vehicles thank you Merry Christmas
Good to know about the oil with the ecoboost. I have a 5.4 3v 04 f150 which is supposed to be a bad engine and it’s been good to me. I change the oil every 4000 miles. Im interested in a newer f150 or ranger but always been skeptical of the ecoboosts except for the 2.7, I’ve heard they’re real reliable. I already service my trucks under 5k miles so I might be a good match with a ecoboost.
I have a 04 F-150 FX4 and it finally crapped out on me at 140K miles. Im looking for a new truck and dont know which way to go with these new trucks or brands.
I have a 2010 Lincoln suv with ecoboost an it's been a great motor so far got it with 49900 an now has 86000, definitely has power walks away from my brothers 5.0 f150
Yeah thats crazy cheap. He got a great deal from that prior owner. Door sticker says 16, so it's probably a 2017 That's about 1/2 retail price. Sceptical on that price, unless he bought it from a friend.
@@volvo09 Scotty said $45,000 new which seems about right for 2016/2017. Just out of curiosity I did a quick search on Edmunds and the cheapest XLT 4WD I found was listed at $28,000 with 94,000 miles dealer price.
@@elkhunter8664 Yeah I bought a 2013 Chevy Tahoe with like 140k miles and it was like 22k during the pandemic and raised used car prices. 15k for that truck is a pretty good deal.
I'm not really a truck fan but if I ever bought one I would probably get an F-150 with the V-8. Yes I know how good the Tacoma and Tundra are but they are also very expensive and the parts can be hard to come by with the Tacoma. But, the only six cylinder I would ever have in a Ford truck is the 300 straight six. My shop teacher back in high school had one and he said keep changing the oil and they can go for decades.
Except in California where the government is going to make it illegal to buy a truck (or car) with a combustion engine. Pretty soon the only people in the state that will be able to afford purchasing a vehicle will be the very rich. Fuel prices are already so insane that you are spending $130 just to fill up once. Think I will hang onto the 1965 Ford F250 highboy even so.
These Eco Boost are pretty good engines . But around 250000 miles you will have to replace the turbos. This is par for the course with turbo engines, or superchargers . One reason for not going the turbo supercharger route. Naturally aspirated engines are just better in the long run. I currently drive a 98 Dakota with 262,645 miles. 3rd owner. Never had the valve covers off. Tires, sparkplugs, a new wiring harness because 🐇 ate my other one. 😂 Go ahead, buy All The New JUNK You Want, I personally like to change my oil. New Truck is A 🤑 pit. 🙈 Happy Motoring 👈
Anyone who craps on that 3.5 EcoBoost needs to drive one. It’s a fantastic driving experience and you have every ounce of power and torque you need for normal living.
I love my 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles and still going, these EcoBoost lovers can keep they're overpriced EcoBoost trucks and I'll keep my 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 as well my 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it.
Scotty my 2015 F150 Ecoboost with 50k miles just cost me $5500 to get fix. So these trucks are a pile and will suck cash out of their owners' pockets. Yes I have religiously followed my dealesrship's maintenance schedule since the day I bought it for 52000. Sad thing no one will buy it from me. Not the local auction house and I'm pretty sure not even the Grim Reaper.
@Bruce Fredrickson cam phasers,timing chain, water, turbo failures . All very common problems. The taurus sho has similar engine and all same common issues along with the AWD PTU in the SHO
I used to joke about people using a truck as a family mobile. But the roads have gotten so bad a lot of places they just destroy a regular car’s suspension, and the plowing is so bad now days a lot of places it could be a day + after a plow goes down the side streets.
Street punk racer in LA running jap car, replaces his engine after 20 races. He finds a lot of suckers willing to wager a few thou. He admits its a money pit both ways.
My dad bought a new 2018 ford 150 with a 5.0 and has had to put new valves in it and a new rear end at 80k I have a 2002 tahoe with 230k that has never needed anything besides the typical wear and tear.
Mine went into limp mode today in central NY. 76k miles. 32 degrees today. Waiting to see what the shop says. Hope it's nothing major. Regular maintenance and then some.

Defeats the purpose of getting a v6
I have an 03 Silverado V8 5.3 that after 160,000 of towing and hard driving still gets 20 on the hwy and burns no oil.
V8s have almost the same mpg but will definitely outlast in life!

The fact that this truck was about 45K new is actually cheap compared to 2022-23, which is probably around 60K. Great videos Scotty! Keep em coming!

Even if you dont turn the 4 wheel drive on , lots of things like the driveshafts, U joints, etc are still moving and wearing out .
Unlike the old school 4x4 with Lockouts on the front axle that disengaged the front axle .
Very true You would think Scotty would know this!
255,000 on my 2013 5.0. Runs and drives great. 16.5 highway, 14.5 city. I’m happy with it.
For me I still prefer the Coyote V8 in my 2011 Ford F150 over the EcoBoost V6 for reliability and don't have to worry about religious maintenance on it like you do with the EcoBoost engines.
+ all that gas money you “save” with the v6 goes down the drain if you ever have to touch the turbos
@hastings6019 Exactly mate thank you.
Love watching his videos. Have for years. Makes you think.
My 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 I picked up two years ago for $5k and it's all the truck I'll ever need. I bought mine right before prices jumped up.
Scotty your enthusiasm is another Level! Scotty you nailed it, My dad has a 2.7 with 189K miiles V6, Orignal Turbos, yes Synthetic oil change every 5K miles, He is confident to get 250K
Makes me have confidence my 21 2.7 with 16k currently will last. I do synthetic blend every 5k
If he's lucky.
Ford truck for sell
It’s a 2007 I got in 2021
Issues with the truck:
1) It doesn’t run - needs battery, cooling system repair, all fluids changed.
2) Insurance and registration updated
Bought my 2010 F150 crew cab new, 4.6 3v with 6 speed auto. 166k miles and no problems!! Regular maintenance on time all the time. Cruises at 72 mph on the highway getting 23 mpg... just fine by me.
Thanks for watching Massage
me 🔝right away
I too have a 2010 F150 crew cab with the 4.6L 3V. Current mileage is about 175K. I also do the routine maintenance on schedule. But mine only gets 14mpg on good day! What's your secret to getting 23mpg?
I'm crazy about my 3.5L Ecoboost in my F150. The torque is unbelievable. I ordered mine fully loaded with every option. The only gripe I have are the cheap front inner fenders. I had the driver's turbo go out and decided to replace the cloth inner fender well with a plastic aftermarket one. Overall it's a great truck but it's true you better be religious with the oil changes.
Wait until your cam phasers go
@@fishinnewengland4807 Funny you should mention that. I just finished up replacing the phasers Timing chan's, and cams in another 3.5L that didn't change his oil like he should have. It's mostly the first generation 3.5L engine that are having the phasers and timing chain problems. Just like Scotty said, change the oil and it's going to last.
I still kick myself for not buying a used truck. My truck is almost 6 years old now, but I paid almost $40K for the damn thing. Live and learn. There are good used pickups to be had out there for a fraction of the cost.
Yes and no,, you bought new and you know the maintenance and use you did. You buy a used truck that thing could have towed, been off-road, beat on, driven hard by the family kids, etc, etc. Besides $40k truck today is a bargain . Full size truck 4x4, your looking at $60k...
@@recyclespinning9839 True, mine is full size, V8 and 4x4, but spending $40k on any vehicle is just not in my DNA. I had never spent more than $10k on a vehicle before that. I’m out on new trucks today, $60k is obscene.
I completely agree!
3.5L is still only 214 cubic inches (rounded up). It's smaller than the Ford 300 straight 6. The biggest Ford V6 is the Essex 3.81L, a replacement for the 300 6, which is still only 232 ci. Those a small engines for a truck. The 300 is almost indestructible and one of the best engines Ford ever made. Small engines as you know generally have to work much harder than V8 engines. All that power in a small engine tends to shorten the life of the engine unless it's babied. Work it like a truck and it's lifespan goes down.
The standard for engine life is 150000-200000 miles these ecoboosts will easily exceed that with proper oil changes, you all can stop your bitching about weak old engines that aren't around any more for a reason.
I've Got an 87 F150 with the 300 Inline 6 with 286k on the clock and still going strong never loses any oil between changes and starts right up
@@TWEB2010 SUPER! I still have an '81 F250 300 Carbed engine. Still running very well. Also have '91 F250 7.3 IDI with 836,000 miles on the clock. No engine issues at all apart from the occasional air intrusion in the fuel system.
@ericschaefer7378 Have fun in you're overpriced plastic EcoBoost truck till it breaks mate, also my 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 will definitely outlast you're overpriced EcoBoost truck with ease as well.
my v8 had 395hp, id always go with a coyote over twin turbo. got me a F150 2016, been my best friend ever since. great truck never has had an issue aside from where i live they salt the ground which caused my exhaust to rust n snap underneath, 3 inch pipe fixed that though!
Thank you Scotty. I am in the market for a used truck. I appreciate you making this video. Angel from The Bay
I got myself an old 94 k2500 with the 6.5 diesel, it runs great and I love it.
You got lucky because GM had lots of trouble with that motor.
i have the 2017 V8 4x4 Supercrew & have only has an issue with the a/c Ford replaced it out of warranty free of charge and gave me 7 years warranty on it this year. When i rent trucks i always go for the V6 because they have lots of pep and fuel economy is insanely good.
Hi Scotty. I miss my 93 Yukon. Bought it at 9 years old and drove it for 15. 4x4 on the floor, no pushy button.
Keeping my 2010 dodge challenger rt classic put 10k in mods 65k miles 3k oil changed looks & runs new ! Red 6 speed ...bought it new ! ...
On my fifth one of these f150’s currently have a 21 and a 23 and love them.
Got the 2015 5.0 V8 . Change the oil with full Syntenic @ 6000 miles. Works for me but I don't run my truck hard. It's my DD . I can't drive much harder than an old lady going to church because of deer. I work nights so go about 50 MPH max
Own a 2010 4.6 v8 paid 13000 runs great will keep it forever and it's in excellent shape
But it’s turbo charged. You’ve said those engines don’t last.
Sometimes Scotty recommend them which have strong reliable built
Exactly and for me I still prefer the 5.0L Coyote V8 over the EcoBoost V6 anyday.
He has. I think the emphasis here is for 15k you should buy. Not for the retail market value. Some one said up in the comments. 25k30k for its comparables.
.. my wife has a 14 escape titanium with the 2.0 ecoboost, only has 117k but it runs perfect.
@@richsweeney1115 And from what "I've read" on reviews from people who have them, those Escapes are capable of getting up to 300,000+ miles. Not bad.
after 45 years I'm on F-series #5, a 2018, all v-8's, carbureted , my last three all bought new, all 4 wheel drive, the only way to go, my old 84 F-250 with a 351 I drove for 21 years, and is still on the road, under it's third owner, my now 18, 5L with 395 hp, no problems towing, plowing, whatever, and other than maintenance, all the Fords I've had have been champs
I'd much prefer the 89, hands down.
I got rid of my SXT 4 DOOR 5.0 F150. IT WAS A GREAT TRUCK. BUT IT WAS A QUEEN MARY! MY SANTA CRUZ DOES EVERYTHING I NEED AND STILL PULL MY 19 FOOT CAMPER NO PROBLEM. BUT ! LIKE YOU SAID. BECAUSE OF THE TURBO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE OIL CLEAN. PRASE GOD HYUNDAI GIVES ME FREE SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES.
Scotty thanks for another great video. For all the times you've talked about these vehicles having problems it's exciting to see you show one that doesn't
People in New Hampshire need to learn on this Scotty Four wheel drive is not for ice on the highway to go 100 or 80 when the sign say 65 and you show be going 30 .
Most likely the drive is for Massachusetts on a New Hampshire highway
I used to pull a bass boat with a 2WD 1500 and exactly what Scotty said happened. Ramp was slimey and I was sliding back into the water. Luckily someone had a chain and we wrapped around there before I lost my boat and truck. Crappy experience.
Scotty: stay away from eco boost, it’s bad.
Also Scotty: eco boost is a great deal, get it.
I can understand it. When something is new and unproven, he’s warning that you’re taking a massive risk. Wait a while and see if it worked out and if it seems ok, go find a low mileage one for half the cost of a new one. It’s not for everyone but it’s for people who can’t afford to buy twice.
He mostly refers to the 2.3 4 cylinders when he bad mouths them to be honest
Honestly 15k for that truck was a pretty good deal. If you take care of a vehicle it will last.
300,460 miles on my 2008 Dodge 1500, 4.7 liter engine. Best truck I’ve ever had !
But have to be religious in maintenance otherwise NA no sweat
Well that's if you do religious maintenance on the EcoBoost vs the 5.0L Coyote V8.
@@CJColvin the money you spend religiously taking care of the eco is nowhere close to how much you will pay the difference in gas
@@dopey-tbh3156 I doubt it mate.
Also 6:00 axle code L9 means he has a limited slip or locker 3.55 ratio. Not a towing ratio but not a non towing one more like a towing but not super heavy towing one. And since I don't see an electric locker in that 4wd switch that means limited slip.
One of the main reasons I hate the eco-boost engine is because of the direct injection. There is no gasoline being sprayed on the valves so with the EGR system they tend to carbon up in the valve, stem, and intake ports. It is very expensive to clean the intake without disassembly. If I recall, Audi and BMW had problems with that type of setup years ago.
My wife has a 14 escape titanium with the 2.0 ecoboost, only 117k , but runs like new.
If you have any direct injected care. Just install a catch can. Solves the problem
I thought they fixed it starting in 2018 with port injection
@@Iwish4zombies they did from what I read. 2018+ has direct and port injection
I know you like regular keys, Scotty, but I have a keyless ignition in my 2016 Honda Accord and I never have to take it out of my pocket. Couldn't be easier.
i much prefer my 2011 5.0 Lariat with 115k miles. paid $17k for it 2 years ago. naturally aspirated nd far less issues with cam phasers going out. i avoided the ecobeast lol
I got a 2017 outdoorsman ram slt had 33,000 miles now 44000 doing well very good condition put a decent amount down and feeling good. Came from a dodge dakota wish they still made those. Glad I don't need to buy now for awhile.
I agree that the new Chevy trucks are not what the old ones were! But I guarantee you the 4.3 Vortec motor in the Chevy truck will run a half a million miles on a regular basis!
Dreams
I fully agree..best v6 motor ever built by GM..
Better change that oil , the turbo oil feed line has a Pressure Solenoid with screen Filter in it. Don't want that building up junk.
The f150 is my favorite vehicle. Family and work, it can do both
2016, with about 160kmiles at 15k....... i would say thats a fair price for this market actually
My son paid $15,000.00 for a 2003 Dodge Ram diesel with 300,000 miles on it. King cab, Cummins diesel.He pulls his 28 foot family camper all over the place, Georgia mountains, North Carolina, Florida etc,etc. no problems yet
I'd still take the 5.0 over the 3.5 or any ecoboost at that. Not saying the ecoboost is Abad engine. But that v8 will take more abuse and just simply last longer. NA vs boosted
I would avoid Ecoboosts or any turbo equipped vehicle unless you travel mainly highway. Severe stop and go's are the achilles heel.
My 94' S-10 4X4, 4.3L Vortec With 218,000 Miles is still strong. I'd put it up against the Ford Scotty. ❤️
$15,000 😂😂😂😂
My neighbors just paid $14,000 for a new golf cart
Is it Ecoboost?
@@brucefredrickson9677 HA. HA.
I hate that Ford jingle at start up! We have some Ford ambulances, I hear that jingle in my sleep.
trailers because they've destroyed lift height and made the beds useless unless you're packing for a longer trip
this is why so many are going to sprinters and other small vans for commercial work
HP is isn’t why I’d take a 5 liter over the 3.5 because if I’m not mistaken the 3.5 makes more torque anyone. The eco is too complex and the 5.0 sounds way better.
Ummmmm Scotty these ecoboosts are GREAT for towing. My 16 2.7 ecoboost actually towed my 7800lb camper a lot stronger than my 18 5.7 Tundra and that’s a real world FACT. You got that one wrong, but nailed everything else about these trucks! Love mine!
Exactly! Thank you, Scotty. You have been the beginning and end of my research; after prayer of course lol. Thank you!
The moral of this video is NOT to buy 6-cylinder f-150. Instead if you're unfortunate to own one CHANGE THE OIL!
Dude I'm looking to see what kind of truck I'm going to get. Perfect timing! Thanks Scotty! :)
That eco boost is a Walmart and Cosco shopping truck😂
I saw one on another channel with 267k. All original. But it's as you say, it was well maintained and not beaten.
Say hi to me 🔝...
I have a 2002 XLT with 329,000. Some minor issues with lean bank code that I can't find. Other wise a great truck.
my 2017 f150 had a 3-inch lift and I got 14 mpg with my 3.5EB. i have a hemi now. i sure miss the turbos! but the interior in the ram is amazing
Hello Scotty you are an absolute best please leave a link on you on on your stuff on what computer you have and what computer you use to analyze the vehicles thank you Merry Christmas
Good to know about the oil with the ecoboost. I have a 5.4 3v 04 f150 which is supposed to be a bad engine and it’s been good to me. I change the oil every 4000 miles. Im interested in a newer f150 or ranger but always been skeptical of the ecoboosts except for the 2.7, I’ve heard they’re real reliable. I already service my trucks under 5k miles so I might be a good match with a ecoboost.
I have a 04 F-150 FX4 and it finally crapped out on me at 140K miles. Im looking for a new truck and dont know which way to go with these new trucks or brands.
I have a 2010 Lincoln suv with ecoboost an it's been a great motor so far got it with 49900 an now has 86000, definitely has power walks away from my brothers 5.0 f150
We love your positive attitude!
Wow! 15 grand seems like a pretty good deal for a truck like that.
What year was it because I didn't see him say it
Yeah thats crazy cheap. He got a great deal from that prior owner.
Door sticker says 16, so it's probably a 2017
That's about 1/2 retail price. Sceptical on that price, unless he bought it from a friend.
@@dominiicp 🤷🏻♂️
@@volvo09 Scotty said $45,000 new which seems about right for 2016/2017. Just out of curiosity I did a quick search on Edmunds and the cheapest XLT 4WD I found was listed at $28,000 with 94,000 miles dealer price.
@@elkhunter8664 Yeah I bought a 2013 Chevy Tahoe with like 140k miles and it was like 22k during the pandemic and raised used car prices. 15k for that truck is a pretty good deal.
Aren't the 3.5 V6 engines have problems? I thought you mentioned it on another video. Can you clarify
I'm not really a truck fan but if I ever bought one I would probably get an F-150 with the V-8. Yes I know how good the Tacoma and Tundra are but they are also very expensive and the parts can be hard to come by with the Tacoma. But, the only six cylinder I would ever have in a Ford truck is the 300 straight six. My shop teacher back in high school had one and he said keep changing the oil and they can go for decades.
You don’t even need to change the oil in a 300 6. Seen it run without an oil pan, great engine.
I own a 1999 light duty f250 with 4.6 motor 216000 original owner good driving truck .Also own1997 e150 4.2 over 100000 on it
Both of those engines are excellent. Had both, well over 200k . Frame rot did both trucks in
Keyless ignitions ain't going nowhere The old school keys that Scottie likes is dinosaur technology
Except in California where the government is going to make it illegal to buy a truck (or car) with a combustion engine. Pretty soon the only people in the state that will be able to afford purchasing a vehicle will be the very rich. Fuel prices are already so insane that you are spending $130 just to fill up once. Think I will hang onto the 1965 Ford F250 highboy even so.
These Eco Boost are pretty good engines . But around 250000 miles you will have to replace the turbos. This is par for the course with turbo engines, or superchargers . One reason for not going the turbo supercharger route. Naturally aspirated engines are just better in the long run. I currently drive a 98 Dakota with 262,645 miles. 3rd owner. Never had the valve covers off. Tires, sparkplugs, a new wiring harness because 🐇 ate my other one. 😂 Go ahead, buy All The New JUNK You Want, I personally like to change my oil. New Truck is A 🤑 pit. 🙈 Happy Motoring 👈
Thank you Scotty, I am looking for one now I really appreciate you and your knowledge and help 😊
"The big one V8, the 3.5" Scotty my 05 Colorado had a 3.5 and that was a 5 cylinder I don't wanna hear about no baby V8 like that 😂
The 3.5 isn't a v8......
Anyone who craps on that 3.5 EcoBoost needs to drive one. It’s a fantastic driving experience and you have every ounce of power and torque you need for normal living.
Being a longitudinal 3.5 the water pump is NOT inside the engine thank God.
Love my ford Lightning Pro, no gas, no oil changes, all wheel drive, cheaper to drive per mile then a Prius
Lol, and you lose around 40% efficiency when in the cold. Good luck to ya with that thing. 🙂
I would rather have the 89 with 150 hp personally
They were simply built better back then
I agree 100% brother
Me too!
I love my 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles and still going, these EcoBoost lovers can keep they're overpriced EcoBoost trucks and I'll keep my 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 as well my 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it.
Scotty my 2015 F150 Ecoboost with 50k miles just cost me $5500 to get fix. So these trucks are a pile and will suck cash out of their owners' pockets. Yes I have religiously followed my dealesrship's maintenance schedule since the day I bought it for 52000. Sad thing no one will buy it from me. Not the local auction house and I'm pretty sure not even the Grim Reaper.
I never knew that the Eco Boost could produce that much horsepower. 365 hp is plenty. Problem is it's a very complicated engine according to Scotty.
Them engines are trash
@@randomnetwork1995 Because....?
@Bruce Fredrickson cam phasers,timing chain, water, turbo failures . All very common problems. The taurus sho has similar engine and all same common issues along with the AWD PTU in the SHO
Its turbos, not all engine
@@randomnetwork1995 even the ranger back then the turbo shelled with in a years time. TRUTH is turbos are overrated trash.
15K would be a good deal. Dealerships probably wouldn't sell that 4X4 for less than 22K. Scott lives in Houston, which is a good buyer's market.
I used to joke about people using a truck as a family mobile. But the roads have gotten so bad a lot of places they just destroy a regular car’s suspension, and the plowing is so bad now days a lot of places it could be a day + after a plow goes down the side streets.

Yep you got it brother
Street punk racer in LA running jap car, replaces his engine after 20 races. He finds a lot of suckers willing to wager a few thou. He admits its a money pit both ways.
Absolutely, those ford's are bad on oil, they clog up easily. Use full synthetic 0w or 5w weight oil.
I 2nd the not turning on the 4WD. My current and last F-150 was 4WD and I used it between both trucks maybe 2 or 3 times.
My dad bought a new 2018 ford 150 with a 5.0 and has had to put new valves in it and a new rear end at 80k I have a 2002 tahoe with 230k that has never needed anything besides the typical wear and tear.
Mine went into limp mode today in central NY. 76k miles. 32 degrees today. Waiting to see what the shop says. Hope it's nothing major. Regular maintenance and then some.
