Always go with the v8 if you plan on keeping it. And if you do have to work on it you don’t have all that EB plumbing in your way. Yes, the EB does produce power, but it beats itself to death to do it; and the mpg drops below a v8 when using it like a truck. EB is like waiting for a grenade to go off. There’s no replacement for displacement, period. P.S. the resell market is full of EB and very few V8’s... I wonder why..? LoL
ATTENTION FORD F150 FANS: Scotty Kilmer says the 5.0L oil consumption problem ('17, '18, '19) is a Ford class defect that Ford won't admit to. All of Ford's work arounds don't address or fix the real problem..... which is that Ford used an aluminum block on these 5.0 engines, and didn't sleeve the cylinders. They used a ceramic coating in these cylinders (to save a few pennies), and this coating is either failing or it isn't working as it's supposed to, thus causing the massive oil consumption problem.
I had a 2917 GMC with the 5.3 and 6 speed transmission and I had to have the transmission rebuilt twice in 128k. I traded it recently for a 2018 F-150 lariat. It only has 48k on it but they have a really good track record, so I decided to give it a try. Thus far I am really impressed. I originally wanted a Toyota Tundra gen 2, but the gen 3 issues have pushed the price of the gen 2 too high for me. Great review! Thanks!
Hi Bill, My first new Ford was a 69 candy apple red fastback Mach 1 Mustang 351 4bbl. My wife's 93 Thunderbird 5.0 still runs great after all these years. Before that I had a New 66 Vette 327CI solid lifter cam. I am also a Ford shareholder since the 1970's. But times and conditions have changed. Do some research. Ford has a Technical Bulletin out on the 2019 with 5.0 ______ they consume too much oil and Ford is offering to replace the blocks on the high oil consumption ones. Either the blocks are warped or there is too much clearance between the rings and cylinder walls. Mine is consuming around 1 quart of oil per 1,000 miles driven. My wife's 93 T-Bird 5.0 consumes ZERO oil between the 3,000 mile oil changes and it has well over 180,000 miles on it. I am 70+ years old now and drive like an old fart and never push the 5.0 and it is still using oil. And the freaking doors won't close when it drops below freezing. And they occasionally pop open while the vehicle is in motion. This coming winter I am going to call for Roadside Assistance each and every time the doors won't close and murder Ford with roadside assistance costs.. By the way I paid cash for it. My 1982 318 CI 2 wheel drive Ramcharger still runs, has 495,000 miles, original engine and trany (neither rebuilt) ___ and still does not burn oil.
My 2.7 developed an oil leak around the oil pan. Traded it in on a 19 with a 5.0 coyote.. so far fuel mileage is the same as the 2.7 and power is good ..
Hi windell, the 5.0 WAS a good engine. WAS. There is already a Ford Service Bulletin out on the 5.0 now for 2019 calling for Block Replacement if it consumes more than one quart of oil per 3,000 miles. Do yourself a favor and Constantly check your engine oil level___ when the engine is cold before use ___ and do it on level ground..
@@samgentile7494 this is exactly why im not buying a f150 in 2020. they still have not fixed this problem. im not spending 40k for it to be in the shop most its life. im also nt getting a turbo that will give issues too with crap resale value. Toyota so far will get my business because of this. Thats a major issue. Its not a broken seat belt screw.
Love 2.7 Ecoboost STX Crew 4wd, the lil motor will fly, drive gently 20+ mpg. I got what I could afford and after 2 years 27,000 mile I’d buy the same truck again! Sorry called the engine a motor, the can does say motor oil though?
I love Toyotas too. Almost bought a 5.7 Tundra last year. They are very well built. But the difference in fuel economy swayed me to the F150 5.0. The Ford is a lot faster than the Tundra, tows significantly more as well, and I average 20 mpg vs 13 for Tundra. I did the math, and driving 2000 miles per month like I do, the Toyota would use $190 more in fuel per month! That’s crazy. Toyota has got to get their Tundra fuel economy up, WAY up to compete with Ford.
Go with Toyota. I own an F-150 and my next truck will be a tundra. I'd rather pay for a little extra gas than repair bills. Even the guy in this video is reviewing a loaner because his is in the shop.
TED Schmitt 6 cylinders working to move same weight as 8, turbo needs changing out, spark plugs get worn sooner...a naturally aspirated V8 is preferable maintenance-wise
I have a 2019 F150 5.0 and it still has the same bad door latch issue that Ford has had since at least 2012. Doors will not close when below freezing outside. When parking it while it is in auto start stop mode when I pull into my driveway and stop with my foot on the brake the engine cuts off which is what it is supposed to do when coming to a full stop, yet when I shift it into park and take my foot off the brake ___ the engine goes into runaway high RPM mode which cannot be stopped without turning the ignition off. Also watch for engine oil consumption. They use oil. They make use an excessive amount of oil. Ford has a service bulletin about the issue and replacing the Block is a part of their solution. My advice is to disconnect the auto start stop feature ___ because it can result in run-away engine speed when shifted into park when you come to a stop. All of the bells and whistles mean nothing when the Basics are a problem. Who wants a truck they cannot close the doors on when it is cold outside??? Who wants a vehicle that the engine goes into run-a-way mode when stopping and shifting it into park?? On 1 to 10 scale I rate it at 5 at the very most.

@@grimakastatik Hi Jon, My 2019 F-150 is a 2 wheel drive with electronic posi rear and I drive like an old fart at a very steady 55 to 65 on highways in the far right slow lane and drive 50 mile trips without ever touching the brakes because I am driving slower than the other vehicles and so far (10 months old) it has averaged 16 MPG on highway and in the suburbs with virtually no stop and go high traffic driving. My 82 Ramcharger 2 wheel drive 318 ci averaged 19 MPG with a 2 BBL and no electronics and got 22-23 mpg on long highway trips.. The new 5.0 is nice, but it takes GASOLINE to make that HP. Each and ever vehicle uses FUEL to make HP. Expect poor fuel mileage with any higher HP vehicle.
Those goodyear wrangler tires are the worst, they always go bad at around 24,000 miles. My dad went through 2 sets of them and anything will puncture them and the only reason he bought them when he was at sears is because they were the cheapest too.
My God, wear out the tires a little faster if the rear differential is locked when its dry outside. Ya that's going to be your biggest problem. The rear end is going to put under a lot more wear and tear not the tires.
The eco boost did have issues but I think the current generation of 3.5L has been good. The 18' and 19' 5.0L have been knocking and burning oil. I used to love the 5.0 but now I'm leaning towards the 3.5.
Just bought 2019 F150 xlt with the 5.0 V8! I did not want a 6 cylinder with the EcoBoost. It's more that can go wrong in my opinion. 5.0 has almost 400 hp which is plenty for me. Took a road trip and it got 18.9 mpg which is fine. I believe the V8 works less hard than the V6 and should last longer. Just love it! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I own a 2019 and I just noticed that I was a quart of oil short and I thought the dealer had put a quart less when I took it for an oil change, but now I am reading about these oil consumption with the V8. Does anybody know if there is a solution to this?
@@samduran5180 Oh well. I hear the next generation Toyota tundra sounds promising. If they fix the few things people didn't like about it but keep the reliability it should be quite the truck.
yup ad the 2020s!! Already brand new ones reporting same issues and a warp dash board. why in the world would i play russian roulette with a 40+k truck??
@@grimakastatik It really sucks that they are selling their loyal customers this crap. Since 2020 will be the third year of these problems, it seems like they don't care to fix it. They probably won't until people stop buying their trucks. But they sell so many that they probably don't care if they loose a few customers.
Unfortunately those new 5.0s like burning oil, 2 quarts of oil within 4k mile oil change interval. Would be interested to hear if you notice any off acceleration rattle or the infamous BBQ tick/knock they are making also.
Well I wouldn't stress on it too much. You may or may not have the issue. All three of my friends were told by the dealership it's an acceptable amount, which of course is complete BS.
2018 new gen 5.0s where rolled out. Ford has bandaids but no solution, which would be to make a new 5.0. 2018 and newer have oil consumption. A 2015-2017 used is more expensive than a 2018 + used. Enjoy your 5.0 oil guzzling POS.
They are pigz ! ! ! Drove mine that the dealer got in special for me and it waz a pig ! I Waz sooo disappointed that I nearly got sick in my gutz , it Waz my retirement gift to me and like a kid promised an ice cone , then told az they drove past the ice cream joint that their closed , when ya know damned well they weren’t , ugh I still have a hard time with it ! 395 hp doesn’t fall on it’z face , believe me ! This truck did , it sucked and I’m a ford lover !
The high oil consumption has been traced to a bad PCV valve. Ford has redesigned the part. My V8, with the original PCV, was using a quart in 800 miles. After the new PCV, about 5000 miles per quart. Still not ideal, but certainly far improved.
Hi Buck, Ford has a service bulletin out calling for replacement of the block if oil consumption is a problem. I am going to wait to have the block replaced on my 2019 5.0 for 2 years and put miles on it first, but get it done 6 or so months before the warranty runs out.
@@samgentile7494 Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that TSB only applies to 2018 model year 5.0s. I believe the oil consumption issue is related to a change made in the cylinder lining for 2018 model year that was corrected for 2019. I've not heard of anyone with a 2019 having the issue. Is yours a confirmed problem related to the TSB?
Patriot Why stop at doors that won’t open...some wouldn’t latch shut, my hubs are now broken, my PSD is overheating, my engine block heater wire was cut by the dealership due to fire / safety recall, my wiring harness needed to be replaced, etc. All this within forest 44,000 miles.
I like the video. BUT, the XLT is not a work truck. Let's be for real. I'd bet that 8 out of 10 never see any work. And of that, over half spend their life in a suburban drive way.. Nice truck though.
tilley Schmolph I agree the Tundra is a better made truck. But, it doesn’t have near the features the F150 has, or near the power, and the fuel economy is dismal.if you drive 5000 miles a year, who cares about mileage? But I drive 2000 miles per month. At that rate, I calculated the Tundra would use $190 more in gas per month.It wasn’t THAT much better built in my opinion.
tilley Schmolph Heard if you need to rpl a starter, you have to get behind the engine which requires taking the top half off. Wanted a Tundra till I heard that.
Disappointed. Doors are out of alignment, shifts horrible with clunk sounds coming from transmission, and the backup camera is blurry. Bought mine with hardly any miles on it. The only upside is the coyote engine.
I just bought a 2019 5.0 and it just keeps impressing me
No rattle or oil consumption?
tilley Schmolph nope
Hi Mud Slinger, keep checking the engine oil level ____ the excessively high oil consumption will impress you also.
Sam Gentile just checked it and I'm about a 1/4 quart down with 7000 kilometres taking in for its first Change Tuesday Im happy with that ?

Pootie Putin People should consider the morimoto break-in method on gas engines. I believe it makes a big difference in oil consumption.

yup ad the 2020s!! Already brand new ones reporting same issues and a warp dash board. why in the world would i play russian roulette with a 40+k truck??

It really sucks that they are selling their loyal customers this crap. Since 2020 will be the third year of these problems, it seems like they don't care to fix it. They probably won't until people stop buying their trucks. But they sell so many that they probably don't care if they loose a few customers.
@@curtis1951 I've heard it happens on 3.5 turbos too. Not the 2.7's though.
Unfortunately those new 5.0s like burning oil, 2 quarts of oil within 4k mile oil change interval.
Would be interested to hear if you notice any off acceleration rattle or the infamous BBQ tick/knock they are making also.
I did not notice anything unusual on my loaner. I had it for 450 miles. It purred like a kitten.
Burning OIL WHAT I JUST ORDERED A 2019 F150 LARIAT DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THAT ISSUE!!!
Well I wouldn't stress on it too much. You may or may not have the issue. All three of my friends were told by the dealership it's an acceptable amount, which of course is complete BS.

The ticking sound can be fixed with a computer update from the dealership
Automatic 4x4 and adjustable pedals for us short guys
The bed shuttered when the tail gate open, weak cheap shit my work truck 5.0 burns oil bad. My boss swore I wasn't changing the oil nope I was.
2018 new gen 5.0s where rolled out. Ford has bandaids but no solution, which would be to make a new 5.0. 2018 and newer have oil consumption. A 2015-2017 used is more expensive than a 2018 + used. Enjoy your 5.0 oil guzzling POS.
Get a small step ladder $35 don't work too hard??
It is all about the leather!
Wait! How tall did he say he was?!
6'7"
6 foot 7, Man that is tall
No shit
Drop the Whipple supercharger in it.
I would go with the 3.5 EB... Better towing with the 6500 pound trailer that I have.
man that thing is noisy.. sounds like a diesel
Holy cow ur not kidding. Yikes
It's because it's burning oil as we speak. I'm very disappointed in my 5.0 it burns oil bad
sammy duran is a 2019 🤔 how bad is like 1qt per 3k miles or what
They are pigz ! ! ! Drove mine that the dealer got in special for me and it waz a pig ! I Waz sooo disappointed that I nearly got sick in my gutz , it Waz my retirement gift to me and like a kid promised an ice cone , then told az they drove past the ice cream joint that their closed , when ya know damned well they weren’t , ugh I still have a hard time with it ! 395 hp doesn’t fall on it’z face , believe me ! This truck did , it sucked and I’m a ford lover !
5.0 engine is trash. Oil consumption is hitting it hard.
The high oil consumption has been traced to a bad PCV valve. Ford has redesigned the part. My V8, with the original PCV, was using a quart in 800 miles. After the new PCV, about 5000 miles per quart. Still not ideal, but certainly far improved.
Hi Buck, Ford has a service bulletin out calling for replacement of the block if oil consumption is a problem. I am going to wait to have the block replaced on my 2019 5.0 for 2 years and put miles on it first, but get it done 6 or so months before the warranty runs out.
@@samgentile7494 Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that TSB only applies to 2018 model year 5.0s. I believe the oil consumption issue is related to a change made in the cylinder lining for 2018 model year that was corrected for 2019. I've not heard of anyone with a 2019 having the issue. Is yours a confirmed problem related to the TSB?
No but you would buy a Super Duty that door don't open. lol
Patriot Why stop at doors that won’t open...some wouldn’t latch shut, my hubs are now broken, my PSD is overheating, my engine block heater wire was cut by the dealership due to fire / safety recall, my wiring harness needed to be replaced, etc. All this within forest 44,000 miles.
I like the video. BUT, the XLT is not a work truck. Let's be for real. I'd bet that 8 out of 10 never see any work. And of that, over half spend their life in a suburban drive way.. Nice truck though.
5.0 is an oil consuming machine👎
couldn't watch due to the lack of focus
nice job fan boy,, tundra is a far better truck.. way better build quality and will last 5 times as long
tilley Schmolph I agree the Tundra is a better made truck. But, it doesn’t have near the features the F150 has, or near the power, and the fuel economy is dismal.if you drive 5000 miles a year, who cares about mileage? But I drive 2000 miles per month. At that rate, I calculated the Tundra would use $190 more in gas per month.It wasn’t THAT much better built in my opinion.
F-150s last a good 250-300k easy, just as good as Tundra but better fuel mileage, engines, towing, hauling, features, options...
tilley Schmolph Heard if you need to rpl a starter, you have to get behind the engine which requires taking the top half off. Wanted a Tundra till I heard that.
44000$ for a stupid truck...wow ...
Disappointed. Doors are out of alignment, shifts horrible with clunk sounds coming from transmission, and the backup camera is blurry. Bought mine with hardly any miles on it. The only upside is the coyote engine.
