    Have the 3.5l ecoboost with 230k miles and just now had to replace a turbo. First problem with this truck period. That's pretty good in my opinion.

    2018 2.7 EB turbo owner here, been over a year and not one single problem, yet lol. Love the power and torque. Fuel mileage is awesome for a truck. Got it in shadow black, crew cab, 2wd, STX with the 3.73 Axle. Absolutely love my truck, best everyday driver. Takes the kids to school, me to work, pick them up, take them to wrestling practice and grocery shopping everyday. Racked up 20k miles and so far so good. We'll see if the engine blows up soon like everyone says it will. Lol.

    I owned a 3.5L for 2 years, 88,000miles. No issues at all, ran smooth, very fast stock in Sport Mode. If you’re looking for the natural deep growl stock then this is not for you. Be prepared to buy downpipes and a catback if you do want to go that route.
    I am currently driving a 5.0. Awesome truck, great sound, reliable sure! 86,000miles nothing but gold. but I do miss the torque of the 3.5. With the 5.0 the power is right there though, no clicking into Sport.
    I am going to be purchasing a new 3.5L though soon. Just loved that truck. If you take care of it, you’re good!
    The gas mileage on both suck for the most part, it’s a truck, not a sedan.

      @@waterzap99 lol bull fucking shit. The technology has come a long way in terms of performance and efficiency. The basic fundamental principle of having a turbo is still going to require more service and care than a NA motor. It is always going to be relatively less reliable. That doesn't mean unreliable. Every mainstream engine these days should run pretty trouble free. That being said, ecoboost still should have a long life. You're obviously not a mechanic..

      Ridiculous, crazy rumor and claim that Ford started suddenly building Ecoboost worse after 2016. The 3.5L was redesigned for 2107, but all redesigned elements improved reliability. The 2.7 had no design changes until 2018, so 2016 model year had no bearing on that particular engine.

    The numbers on the 3.5 EcoBoost are impressive, but I'd be concerned about long term reliability if you were really doing some serious hauling or towing with it. The fuel economy ratings are virtually the same; in my mind, a naturally aspirated V8 just sounds more reliable. I don't know, maybe it's just in my head.

      I subscribe to that same philosophy however being a 3.5 EB owner, I know that 3.5 has enough power to push my 4x4 crew cab around w/o needing turbo around town and keep up with traffic, accelerate up hills etc. Consider Chrysler's 3.6 engine which would be similar to the Ford 3.5 get's good reviews -and it's in Ram Crew 4x4's. Remember that 24V VVT DOHC V6's are making more power than the smaller bore 8's of just 15 years ago. The Ford 3.5 is a 24v VVT DI/PI DOHC, would likely perform admirably w/o turbo, however has the turbo there when needed.

    Loved my 5.0's that i have owned, until 2018 when they matted to 5.0 to the 10 speed and all of a sudden there were oil consumption issues. Ford wanted to replace everything from heads, motor , and the final fix was a "longer dipstick and almost 2 more quarts of oil. Not for me, unloaded it and got the 2019 Limited,with the raptor motor, while i still do not like the way it sounds i can out pull and out run any truck out there. wish they would fix the oil issue.

As the truck approaches that mileage, you will need to make a decision as to whether it' s worth it to replace the turbos.

      @18wheels4life - That's exactly what I'm thinking. Get a V8 and once the warranty expires, add Go-Fast parts from FoMoCo. The problem with V6's is that the fuel mileage savings really isn't true, and there is virtually no after-market for added performance. Like you said, we know what's available for the Mustang.
