@@alb12345672 while a cool option, and indeed rare in the f150, I wouldn't say equal. They are decent compared to the 1st gen coyote 5.0, and the problem ridden 1st gen 3.5 ecoboost, but I've repaired PLENTY of broken valve springs on many 6.2 ford engines. Both in the superduty chassis and the raptors.
I've yet to see ANY newer ford gas engine turn 300k yet without major work.
I'll stand by my experience, and many others with the 7.3. 6.2 would need serious help working this hard for this long. This old truck is much more reliable, by a long shot, than a 6.2, or ANYTHING newer, from any brand, in any model. Maybe the same era 12v Cummins could be a contender. I've seen more million mile 7.3 trucks than I can count in my career so far... Could not say that about another vehicle no matter the make, model or year. Ever. I have yet to see a million mile second gen dodge either. The dodge truck itself isn't up to the task. Great engine in a shit truck.
As I said, and also fact, It's by far, one of the most reliable and industrial engine options ever available in a pickup, and no the 6.2 doesn't even come close in reliability. They certainly don't build them like they used too.

[@alb12345672]

@@georgesrisomsak9650 Thanks for this response. I owned about 15 Ford Cars, have 5 now work on them, not a tech but I know alot. Yes, I know about the valve spring issue . I also have an early DOHC 4.6L 95 Lincoln Continental. It broke a valve spring and easy repair. Those are also considered very high reliable engines. 5.7L toyota trucks have the issue too. How many of those spring grenade the engine though? I am sure some, but rare. I believe it happens because the 6.2 has very long springs. There are guys with 4,500K on 6.2Ls. I even thought of replacing mine (probably a sunday of work) but the ford parts guy talked me out of it, he said it is quite rare to grenade an engine and the new spring has a risk too! He said there is one in the bay with 500 miles! Next to the 3v 5.4L though the 6.2 is miles ahead in reliability, but I agree no modern engine is perfect. Even the crown vics can blow plugs.
I am not familiar with the truck diesel engines, but they sound very reliable! They also have little emission hardware which causes nightmares. My neighbor has a newer 2019? ecoboost and the phasors were replaced TWICE already. I picked him up once in my truck :lol: It used to rattle like an old chain every morning.

My brother in law has the same engine in his f250. After 600K miles he decided to have a new one installed.
He decided on the engine swap ($10K) over $90-110K for a new f250.
When they’re not pulling their 5th wheel, they’re pulling their horse trailer.
He’s had the transmission rebuilt and last year he had a new 3rd member installed.
I too love Ford pickups but we don’t need a big truck for our place.
We’re on our 4th Ranger. They can fit between the rows of trees in our orchard.
Our 11 Ranger is an XLT super cab 4X4 with a 4.0 V6 and a 5 spd automatic transmission with a LSD and tow pkg.
I did add a K&N intake and a FlowMaster exhaust, LineX spray in bed liner, air shocks, running boards.

Now that is a good engine. Vey fuel efficient and reliable.My daughter has one in her Toyota Corolla. Unlike a lot of new engines the 1.8 liter Toyota engine does not burn oil.

[@andrewvillanueva3722]

My lexus ls430 2001 has the 4.3 liter v8. My ls430 has 360,000 miles and has original engine and transmission. Original starter and alternator. I have replaced the timing belt pulleys serpentine belt spark plugs waterpump every 100,000 miles. Just brake pads and fluids regular maintenance

Any plan to review 2023 Lexus UX 250h AWD? Thank you for your great work here..

[@carhelpcorner]

Thank you and yes 👍

[@sidallen685]

The Toyota 4.6L V-8 does have a problem with the rocker housing, Toyota uses a sealant instead of a gasket, it usually starts leaking oil around 80k or more, and it can get expensive to repair.

[@carhelpcorner]

Not a common problem on the Lexus GX. The engines in these really have no major issues before 200,000 miles that can be considered common. Especially with a new 2023 model with over a decade of engine refinement/improvement behind it.

[@walterfick157]

Sad to see the 3,5 V6 go on the RX 350...☹️

[@carhelpcorner]

Yes too bad 😔

[@johnkenneally4662]

Have vehicles with two of the engines mentioned. The 2.5 in my Camry and 4.6 in my Tundra.

Got a brand new 2022 4runner 3 months ago. Hope it can last at least 300k miles

[@sidallen685]

I have a 2003 4-Runner 4.0L with 486k, still runs great with proper maintenance.

[@kr9181]

It will with proper maintenance. 4.0 one of the best Toyota truck engines. Absolutely bulletproof and can reach 500 k miles.

[@pablom007ify]

The Suzuki 1.5 litre naturally aspirated engine is the best, economical and most reliable in terms of refinement and you have not even mentioned it in the list.

[@clover7359]

Honda F22, Honda D15, Toyota AR, Toyota TR, and Ford modular 4.6L V8 are my top 5 engines for longevity.

[@carhelpcorner]

Great picks 👍. This video focused on engines found in new 2023 models

[@alvinsimba734]

@@carhelpcorner I think you are forgetting 1.8 litre 4 cylinder found in toyota engines especially the corollas... yes they may be slow and long in the tooth, but very reliable.

[@roodlyemmanuel4320]

Any Hyundai Sonata from 2005 to 2009 with v6 are great engine they very good in snow. the engine it’s so silence no stupid noise like my turbocharge k5

How about the reliability of a Subaru Forester?

[@carhelpcorner]

Older ones had oil consumption and head gasket issues, but the newer ones are very reliable 👍

[@ronnieott9352]

Best American car ever , We bought a brand new 2014 Chevy Sonic Lt 1.8 liter 4 cylinder we have had no problem 's at all car now 275000 miles not a problem ever only 30 mpg but flawless reliability and I recommend using only full Synthetic oil for that's what we have used since new, Chevy is My brand from now on Quality , great styling and realiable, and American Made, what more can you ask for?

[@TigerKittay]

This list is not a secret. Most car enthusiasts know these cars and I’m one of them. I own 2 on your list: Toyota Venza AWD V6 2009 with a 2GR-FE engine and a Honda Odyssey 2012 Touring with J35Z8 with VCM.

[@mcelroychandler6267]

It's too bad that toyota is dropping the v6 in the Highlander. Great engine and very reliable. I worry the 4cyl turbocharged engine is trouble for the future because of more moving parts and working harder. Will look for another 6cyl toyota highlander 2019 model if anything unexpected happens to my current one.

[@arthurfisch3673]

Feels same way. Will wait for prime hybrid Highlander!! ABF

The Toyota 2.7 4cyl is in my opinion the most reliable easy to work on engine.

[@adamesd3699]

What about the Honda 3.5 liter V6 cylinder deactivation technology that have occasionally caused issues? Is it still a problem or has it been solved?
Asking for a friend.

[@levimagnusson5880]

The only time i have heard of people with that issue is when they neglect common mantainence. I’ve had that engine and have never had any issues. But my sister has had that issue, but the previous owner really neglected oil changes.

[@muhajiratnft7802]

Someone can advise me about 4cyl with port injection systems? 🙏

[@08VaNupe]

Nissan/Infiniti 3.5 and 3.7 V6 engines are good as well. I’ve owned quite a few that racked up many miles with few issues if you use high quality fuel and oil.

[@joo02]

Had two nissans and ended up with bad transmission and engine knocking

[@08VaNupe]

I’ve had 8 V6 Nissans (VQ30DE/VQ35DE FWD and RWD/VQ35HR Hybrid and VQ37VHR) all ran with no issues some even his 300k miles. I used top tier gas, changed the oil ever 3k in older cars 5k in newer cars. I serviced them at the dealer and has good experiences. I’ve also owned cheaper Nissans (Sentra’s) and had good experiences as well. Sorry yours was bad

[@carlclark3618]

Great video! Do you have a video of the most reliable engines from American cars?

[@matttarog457]

Does the turbo charge mazda 2.0 / 2.5 engine included or are only talking about the naturally aspirated engines? Not surs if i'm asking the right question but one car in my short list is the cx5 2.5 turbo. You're comment would be greatly appreciated

[@carhelpcorner]

The 2.5L turbo is a great engine too, but has a higher likelihood of requiring long term repairs due to being turbocharged (more parts and complexity).

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Ford 5.0 👌🏽

[@scottn7694]

If you are going to include the Honda 3.5L, then you should at least note that the VCM models are much less reliable and have had recalls associated with them. I love the Honda 3.5 but you need to know what you are getting into with the VCM issues - and get a VCM disabler put on it as soon as you can.

[@MogulFarmer]

The Toyota 3.5 V6 can easily exceed 300k properly maintained. The 4.0L V6 as well. My dealer said they service many vehicles for their customers with over 350k miles. A couple they pointed out to me while I was there.

[@Glenn-ei3xp]

I’ve got a 2006 4.0l V6 toyota hilux. 350k klms. Only thing I’ve had to replace is a starter motor (about $220). Not bad for a car of that age. Still runs perfectly

The Honda hybrid transaxle has a clutch pack and valve body, and thus is inherently less reliable than the Toyota system.
