- UPDATE: This truck now has nearly 240k miles. Watch here:
• Is the EcoBoost Engine...
At 200k miles this 3.5 twin turbo V6 engine is still purring like new! I believe this truck is living proof that if you take care of your vehicle, it will take care of you.
UPDATE: This truck now has nearly 240k miles. Watch here: ua-cam.com/video/7IPgxwSiUsM/v-deo.html
Daniel can you name or link the lift/jack you are using?
Doing good, just keep putting the miles on it.
EcoBoost is so gay...
@@inspectorjavert5563 wow.. had no idea a truck can be homosexual...
Hey now, I'm not far behind with 2011 F150 ecoboost at 201k miles. Oil change at 5k miles full synthetic mobile one only. Highly modified and pushed hard. 3.5L twin turbo FTW!
I work at a dealer and I actually saw a 2011 F-150 also with the EcoBoost come in for a 290,000 mile oil change.
That give me hope
My 2011 f150 has 385,000 miles on it now and it’s still running great. It sees 100 mph on a weekly basis, no timing chain issues, no valve issues and no turbo failures. Over all it’s been a great truck. Maintenance is the key.
bro do a video i wanna see how it’s holding up
@@arnuarodriguez8435 I’ve got 460,000 on it now and It’s starting to show some wear. I just had to replace the alternator which wasn’t an easy job but 457,000 miles on an alternator? Wow! The engine is starting to leak oil but it still sounds good, it’s still quiet but the chain is starting to rattle in the morning. All in all what a great pickup.
@stephenbloom2545 that's incredible. Any maintainence tips besides oil changes?
@@jackhoff2189 Change your transmission oil and filter every 80,000 along with the rest of your differentials. Use a Amsoil PI fuel system cleaner every 5,000 miles. At least use a good WIX synthetic oil filter with a good full synthetic oil. Change plugs every 70,000 and gap them at .028. Oh yeah, make sure you don’t over tighten your oil filter, these engines have an oil filter that’s in line with the crankshaft and when it’s too tight it won’t allow the anti drain back valve to seal. 475,000 miles on mine and counting
What's your engine oil change intervals? 7500 miles like manual suggested?
I am currently driving a 2012 f150 ecoboost with 317,000 miles and the original drivetrain. It still runs perfect.
Hows it going now? Any timing issues? Big fixes?
@@samuelyeet6006 It was a company truck and I have since retired. I hear they still drive it every day. Not many problems so far.
I have had many high mileage vehicles 200,000 mile / 320,000 kms. Had a few with more. They were all well maintained and I was never scared to jump in and go on a 500 mile (800 km) round trip somewhere without any prep other than a quick peek at the engine oil. Keep your maintenance up, and enjoy!
Moral of the story is if you take good care of your truck/car it will last long.
Tech Guy Charlie engine and transmission usually will. But new trucks with all the Electronic cray will fail either wai
Suboptimus Lime I have a Vue with 245k miles on the original engine and transmission
Suboptimus Lime 2004 3.5L (Honda Ik) but I've seen 3.0 and the 2.2 get to the same all original
Tech Guy Charlie ford is known to have defects im sure he had several in those 200,000 miles
jldude84 Yeah, they came with a 3.5L j35 v6 from Honda (2004-2007). The previous ones had a 3.0L v6 from GM
"living proof that if you take care of your vehicle, it will take care of you."
Unless you buy a Chevy Cruze...like I did. Lmao
WRB avoid the 1.4 turbo like the plague. the 1.8 is a pretty decent engine
WRB lol that made me laugh pretty good.'it's always good to see someone that can laugh at themselves
WRB I just checked out your channel pretty good videos
Thank you, I appreciate it!
What issues did you have WRB? I thought about getting one of these..
My 93 F-150 has 297,000 miles on it, it lasted so long because it's been well maintained all of it's life. Maintenance is the key.
Kevin Beam Couldn't agree more man.
Kevin Beam I have a 96 Ford F150 with 5.0L Windsor V8 with 204,400 miles on it and it's still going strong. The only thing I replaced on my truck was the starter but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance and cleaned out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since. Most Toyota owners don't nothing about maintenance.
Miles are not what limits vehicles, time and negligence are.
So can any other engine.
Due to negligence... Jesus, is your brain an acorn or what? Look at your comments lol you seem triggered.
I'm not specifically talking about this vehicle and you've completely missed the point. Don't know what you kids are crying about.
Apex Predator Chris Hansen
No it also depends on design and construction/manufacture. If it wasn't designed right, and/or was assembled incorrectly (or something was marginally out of tolerance, etc...) it could have problems after just a few miles.
how hard you are on it in terms of driving habits makes a difference as well
181k miles on my 2011 Ecoboost and it's been running a tune for most of its life. I go about 8-9k miles between oil changes. I've had the o2 sensor go out on mine around 165k. my front rotors are starting to vibrate under heavy breaking as well
Yah 8-9k isn’t healthy at all
@@tippy8358 if he’s using full synthetic it’s not that bad depending on how he drives it
Oil should be changed 3-5k tops in turbo cars
The 3.5 Ecoboost is by far one of the best engines Ford ever made,..those 6 cylinders pulls like a Train and is reliable and low cost maintenance too - I love them !
What year is yours? I just bought a 2017 3.5 with 114,000 miles and so far I love it.
@@nextlevelbjj3083 dude you made a good investment, expect the truck to run great to 200k miles and get ready after that to do some repairs but ITS A SOLID TRUCK WITH THAT ENGINE, best engine ford has produced in a while...
I have a 2013 3.5 ecoboost with 205k.. No real issues. Replaced both turbos and leaky manifold on both sides. Turbos we’re still good but replaced since I was taking them off. Engine is super quiet and she still has lots of power!
I love my 2017 Ford F-150 twin turbo ecoboost! Best truck money can buy when you combine power, torque, hauling, gas mileage, style and comfort. Ford hit it on the mark with this truck. Thanks for sharing! God bless
I got a 2012 Eco boost stock everything. Frequent oil changes 470 000 kms still runs great!
gujada9776 wow
gujada9776 any issues?
I call bullshit. Your driving nearly 100 000k per year?
Do you have an oil catch can?
That’s 292,000 miles that’s possible.
The roller-style timing chain used on the first year ecoboost is clearly a much better design. Ford changed it over to a silent chain the next year and that's when all the timing chain issues started to show up. I wish Ford would go back to the roller chain. Yeah it's noisier but if it improves the longevity of the engine, shouldn't Ford use it? deal with the noise a different way.
I have a 2013 F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost with 122,000 miles and I love it. The water pump had to be replaced due to an intermittent leak and about 4 months ago the high pressure fuel pump malfunctioned but that’s it at this point. I use Ford full synthetic oil and the Ford filter done by the dealer mostly because it’s convenient. I’ve driven cross country numerous times with no problems. Driving from CA to PA on I-80 most of the speed limits are 80 mph some I’m doing 80 mph on cruise control and it’s only turning 2K rpm. 22.5 mpg w/out ac on, I’m not complaining.
Bought my 2016 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi brand new and this is exactly what I want to do with it. Rack up miles owning it forever and doing my part by maintaining it. Man this video is inspiring for me. Thanks!
How much miles is it at now?
@@olin_7 my 2018 Power Wagon has 27XXX miles
i had a 2013 Ecoboost, I beat the hell out of it and it was great! 2016s were lookin good. picked one up. love em!
Jonathon Smith I seriously doubt they'll out last the engines in the 92-96 Ford Trucks.
Its not the miles that kill the seals on the car it is the age. Only being 5 years old this car better not have any leaks.
Pibbles 'n Bits true, it's mostly age
Pibbles 'n Bits ya ypu can put 500k on in the first 3 years thats easy...do it over 30 years
200k miles aint easy on a 5.5 ton truck with forced induction,
Does Toyota,Honda, GM have BALLS to put a Fi engine on such a heavy truck? Hell NO, but Ford has, that says a lot
You dont want gm to do that lmao. Could do that easy with the 5.3 and less psi to boot which means it will run cooler and last longer. Put it on a 6.2 .....shit..... nothing to worry about
Absolutely. That's what will get mine. My '03 F150 super crew 4.6 is now 14 years old. Only 114k. It leaks just a little oil from being old. Other that, normal maintenance. Runs and shifts like a top. And I will have it painted soon. The paint is DONE!
I bought my 2013 f150 new...I beat the shit out of it and all I've put in it is gas, oil and tires 170000km 3.5eco...absolutely no problems. Best truck I've ever bought.
Very good to see another turbo engine making it past 200k..I was always a bit worried about FI systems in terms of long term durability, but they seem to be holding up. My VW is almost at 200k miles.. So far it's treated me well! I'm looking for a truck at the moment, but I still want something NA lol
great video , buying an ecoboost truck soon. Been a gm guy, just sold my 02 silverado ext cab z71, 195k no issues but rust. I buy all my vehicles used , first thing I do when I buy one is as follows. I do most the work myself. change all the radiator hoses, serpentine belt, radiator flush , change out the red antifreeze to the green, change the thermostat, plugs , wires, check trqnny fluid, drain refill the transfer case, battery, and brakes if needed, I've gotten so many miles of most used vehicles I've bough bt doing these things. rust is the reason why I eventually sell them off
Yes most vehicles can be correctly maintained and will keep running in top shape almost forever. But people just don't understand maintenance. MAINTAIN-ance. Right?
But it won't stop salt and rust. Every time the motor heats up, rust gets activated and the vehicle eats itself. By age 18 you are about done.
777jones oil under coat 2 times per year ,touch up paint
Every time I buy a used ford I go ahead and swap out the engine and transmission and then sell the damn thing and buy a toyota
moral of the story: take care yo shit!
I bought one and all I have seen are videos that make me feel like I made the wrong choice. This is uplifting.
I always say. Ford is the best selling truck for over 40 years! There’s a reason for that. If they weren’t a great truck that would have ended a long time ago. They sell more truck now then ever.
Rodfather’s Chop shop tell that to a Toyota owner.. haha I move fords
F150 are tremendous trucks, nobody knew they were beautiful trucks, with tremendous reliability.
The fact that both a deer and a hawk hit this truck is kind of hilarious lol
SPanunu 200,000 miles is a lot of open road haha
whats really hilarious is your brains!
Merica Haha
Statty • My mustang has 210K on it but all that’s hit it are idiots in parking lots :/
AMERICA!!!
My 2011 has just over 210000 miles now and like this one has had plugs, two ignition coils, and the two upstream O2 sensors. I regularly tow a 12,000 lb trailer pulling a tractor. Amazing towing power! My coworker has a 2016 250 with the 6.2 gas engine and mine ties it a lot easier. Amazing engine/transmission combo!
Still have it?
Updates?
At how many miles did you do the spark plugs? I bought a 2017 f150 3.5 ecoboost with 114,000 miles. Looking for advice
@@samuelyeet6006 did you end up buying one?
@@mattcox3373 did you end up buying one? I got the 2017 3.5 ecoboost last week
I got a 2001 Ford Taurus lx with 3.0l v6 vulcan engine and has 325,000 miles and still going strong, the transmission did go out at around 260,000 miles other than that it's been cosmetics and things that go out with normal wear and tear, people freak out when they see the odometer of my car, passes smog check with ease even the smog tech is impressed with how that lil 3.0l still runs.
If you take care of your vehicle, it will take care of you. My 2010 Golf GTI just reached 210k miles a month ago with routine maintenance. Only thing I did was an oil catch can, catless downpipe, and a tune. Still equipt with the original factory clutch
I have a 2011 F150 with the 5.0. It has just shy of 190,000 miles. Seat is in worlds better condition than that one, and also no problems. Who expects major problems in modern cars at 200,000 miles?
Andrew Veatch Please tell me more. I also have the five liter and she's at 150k. Anything I should look out for or keep an eye on? Is yours still running strong?
2NDSIDE
I have not had mine very long. But yes, still very strong, no issues. I (and the previous owner, I have the service records, did the same) just change the oil basically. Mine was owned by an oil company, and they drove the thing tons on the highway, so not a lot of towing or hauling was done with it.
Andrew Veatch Mine was also driven mostly on highways by a contractor out of Wyoming. Thanks for the reply!
Andrew Veatch I seriously doubt those modern vehicles will outlast the engines in the 92-96 Ford Trucks.
did you change the transmission fluid? i bought mine 3 months ago with 60,000 miles
I have had 2 ecoboosts and they have been reliable, and city driving is brutal on engines. I noticed when you first started it after the oil change, you could tell by how long it took for pressure to build, there was no engine rattle from draining the pan on the first startup! Indicates a tight engine. Ive had new engines that will rattle on first start up after an oil change. One thing that I like to do though, and this is my choice, is to prime the engine when first starting after a change. I pre fill the filter, and then holding the throttle pedal all they way down, which is flood mode, crank the engine till pressure is built. Then start it. Its a bit extra I know, and might not make a lot of difference, but it doesn't hurt either. Maybe a little extra wear on a starter motor. Well done video, thanks
SFB starter motor worn> engine bearings worn
Why would 175 people dislike this video? They don't like GOOD news? I say Great truck and a SUPER lesson to everyone who owns one. I also say the people taking care of that truck are the best!
2011. Yes, lots of miles. But, it's only 5 years old at time of this video. I would completely think any quality car would last 200k+, especially if just 5 years old. Now, at 20 years and 200k it may not be in quite as good of shape.
low quality cars can get 200k nowadays if cared for.
Right. Lol. Who cares about 200k in 5 years not impressive
I got a Colorado with 25000 on it. The transfer case went out a year ago but other then that everything else been good. Bottom line take care of your vehicle
mike tandeski how old are you?
J M 100
I just reached 240k on mine; a 2012 xlt crew with a 6.5' bed. He's getting really good mpg. Im averaging 15.7 mpg
gay
Yeah, I have no idea how he's getting that mpg... I'm hitting 17.5 on my '13 3.5L. The owner looks old, he's probably driving it like an old man.
Yeah I have a 2015 expedition I get about 16
Is it 4x4?
got a 2011 5.0 and getting 16.4mpg, had it over 17 for awhile but it got reset at the last oil change by a kid probably going to UTI
I just traded my 2012 in, it was kinda sad, still ran great. Had 250,000 miles and still had the original coil packs. Of course I got another 3.5L ecoboost
Saul Moreno I’ve had a 2001 and 2007 F-150s, both with 4 speed autos. Drove the 2001 to 200,000 miles before selling it. Never touched the motor (4.2 V6) did have to do some trans work at 150K, but that thing was worked as a landscaping truck in hot ass Las Vegas it’s whole life so I can accept that. Ran fine when I sold it.
I’ve got the 2007 with the 5.4 now, currently at 140,000 miles. No major work done to it, just fluids, brakes, plugs and tires. Also used as a work truck 80% of the time. Plan to keep it to 200,000+
Synthetic oil changes with a motor craft filter every 5,000 miles religiously. All of my other fluids and filters done on time too.
I’ll buy another F-150 within a year or two, just not sure which motor to pick yet. I wouldn’t want the first year of any of them if I could avoid it, but I feel that way about most things. Let them work the bugs out first. I am looking forward to the 6 or 10 speed transmission, as the 4 speed is a bit of a clunky dog.
I had a 89 F150 5 speed standard straight 6. OD froze at 300k miles 6 years ago. My little brother still drives it around for his fence/welding job
I have two at 116,864 and 111,990 miles on my 2011 Ford F-150 EcoBoost. I very happy with the trucks. Manly family vacations, lots of trailers hauled 5th wheel and standard trailer haul. Gas mileage and performance have been the same since bought in 2011. Only regular maintenance (brakes, tires, oil and spark plugs) is all I’ve ever had to do and it runs like a dream. I make sure to take them to the same mechanic every time too. He’s great and has worked on all my vehicles. One of the only people I trust to work on my equipment beside myself. Thanks for the videos.
I've got a 2012 EB F150 with 75K miles on it and this reassuring to see.
Still have it?
That's dedication! at that mileage he was doing oil changes about every month and a half
Runs great though so proof good maintenance is key
My 2004 f150 has 219,000 miles and it runs great! I love my truck
still runnin?
I have a 2007 F150, Lariat, 4 x 4 with the 5.4 V8 with over 130,000 miles, same color as that one. I have changed oil every 10,000 miles, replaced front brake pads once, rear brake pads recently for the second set, and am on the 3rd set of tires. I did my spark plugs at 80,000 miles and have had to replace 3 coils. All of this is regular maintenance. The only issue I have had with this truck is the air bag went bad and had to be replaced. Everything is bone stock and still looks great inside and out. With the exception of my Nevada Pin Stripe, from a few years of hunting and some pretty rough terrain, the paint looks great, too. A lot of people are surprised to know it is 10 years old. I average about 15.8 MPG mixed city highway driving and have gotten up to 23MPG on the highway if I keep it at 65MPH. I love this truck.
I've got a 2014 Ford F150 Platinum 3.5 Ecoboost. I'm the 2nd owner. I bought it August of 2021 with only 31K miles on it. Still looks and smells brand new. It came from Arizona. I'm in Tennessee. A expensive Invisabreak was installed on it. I do believe it was mostly pulled behind a very large RV. Reason being for the Invisabreak, pig tail on the front bumper and the factory chrome tow hooks replaced with different style anti-sway tow adapters. A Retrax aluminum bed cover was installed and a bed extender and it a 6-1/2 foot bed. I use it to drive to town when I need to. I drive it to doctors appointments and I pull my 17.5ft aluminum bass boat. I'm only getting 13 mpg hauling my boat and 16 mpg city. And I absolutely baby the throttle. Just every once in awhile I'll make the turbos work. Just to clear it out and work the waste gates. I have just recently put a S&B cold air intake on it. To see if that would help my meg's. Not much added so far. Then I bought a SCT Livewire TS+ with a 5 Star custom 87 Eco tune loaded to the ECM. And still getting right at the same mpg. Am I missing something? Since the 2011 F150 3.5 Ecoboost in the video is getting over 20 mpg plus. While also pulling a 16ft box trailer? Thanks
shouldnt be a suprise to see a modern day engine with 200k
yeah but all these ford owners are shocked and proud because a ford can actually reach 200k miles with no major problems
yeah but all these ford owners are shocked and proud because a ford can actually reach 200k miles with no major problems
Its more about the truck not being naturally aspirated thats important. This truck made more HP/TQ, had better gas mileage and performed faster and more efficient under a 8,000lb load than the rest of the 1500 class at the time.. The naturally aspirated 3.7L, 4.0L, 4.6L and 5.0L have all reached 1m miles under Fords care as well. Nissan and Toyota have spent upwards of $50m investing in a custom patented Cummins diesel just to out perform the Ecoboost models, that should say a lot. Not many people have the intelligence to realize the trucks are on around 14-20psi daily unlike the naturally aspirated engines that struggle for power.
gt350 dude I seriously doubt those modern vehicles will outlast the engines in the 92-96 Ford F-Series trucks.
If you could keep the spark plugs in the heads, that is. It's hilarious watching you throw that "14-20 psi" bullshit around like it's a turbodiesel seeing maximum boost for hours on end. And apparently you don't keep up on EcoBoasts these days, seeing as how Ford is getting sued for the junkpile pieces of shit.
my 1st ford. 2006 f150 4.6 V8 bought brand new. now has 212,000 miles. From the start switched to royal purple oil and filter. Changed brakes twice, spark plugs once, throttle body twice. Absolutely hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned. I'd like to buy a new one just because I like Fords now so much but I'm kind of curious how long can this truck last.
130,000 miles on my 2015 F-150 Ecoboost. I drive it daily and on the weekends I drive it through some of the roughest roads on the Navajo reservation. 🇺🇸
I'm 29 now and I bought a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder when I was 16. It had 89k on it then and now has 480k on it(I went to college a long way away from home). I replaced the alternator, starter and clutch(stick shift), that's it. Burns a little oil but I would still drive it across the country. I have since bought a Nissan Titan but that little Pathfinder still gets driven an hour a day for my commute. Take care of your vehicle and it won't die.
In engine manufacturing modern times, the 3.5L twin turbo is the Roll Royce of the V6 engines when comes to HP, torque, longevity and fuel economy. This engine will last 400k miles.
Antonio, El tracto Mula
Tf you talking about. No replacement for a good ol V8.
@@andybub45 v8's will be obsolete. Welcome to the future.
I have 89 Silverado with 674,000 miles
Frank Mischler yes I do it's a 1989 with the 350 it's had the transmission placed once and it burns a lot of oil but yeah it still runs it's been hit by a log truck on the bed also. we bought the truck 9 years for $1200
It had 200,000 something when we bought it
amazing! That thing is a keeper, try and make it to a million!
Creed DiMarco nice. I love chevys for just that reason.
that's awesome
I've got '92 Huffy bicycle with 10 trillion miles. Goes to show if just take care of it, it will go forever.
I've only replaced the wheels, tires, frame, gears, and seat, but its the same old trusty rusty Huffy. Tassels, bell, and basket are all original.
Bob Ross the frame replaced. Itsvanothr bicycle now.
I have a 98 f150. I'm pushing 230xxx miles and it runs fantastic! A good truck is always a good truck.
Your videos are really interesting and informative. You definitely deserve a larger following.
Not surprising since it's only 5-6 years old. Time is much harder on vehicles than mileage in my opinion. However it's very nice to see these trucks with a lot of miles and still in great shape.
It's not really time or mileage IMO. It comes down to driving style day in and day out and excellent maintenance. People beat the hell out of their vehicles and expect something mechanical to last forever. Drive it like you care about it and it should last.
It's normal for the injectors to be a little "ticky", but sometimes if you lift the injection pump and lube the tappet that rides in-between the pump and camshaft you can get rid of louder knocking noises that some people attribute to engine wear on these EcoBoosts. Just a tip from tech to tech.
Umm…. That tappet that rides on the cam lobe IS lubricated with engine oil already
My 96 Jimmy has over 300,000 miles, brakes, brake lines and a fuel pump. Certainly can't complain.
I'm liking my 2015 3.5 Ecoboost. Ford did a great job on them. Yes, some problems as in all man made things, but solid trucks.
Do you still like the ecoboost? I bought a 2017 f150 3.5 with 114,000 miles and am looking for tips. I spent 28,000
Dodge on that mileage will leave 20 pounds of Rusty pieces every time you leave the parking lot 😂
*YOU"RE COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!!!* You left out Jeep and Chrysler.
G POWER DRAGON so true!
Just imagine the fuel savings you get from all that weight reduction!
cadillacphxful Only a matter of time before the transmission explodes
I have a 2011 Ram with 290,000 miles on it. Has original engine and transmission, no rust, and runs like new. The only thing I've done to it besides oil changes, filters, brakes and tires is resealed the rear differential, replaced drive shaft carrier bearing, and front ball joints.
No stupid lift kits or go fast mods, and performed regular maintenance. Bravo sir.
2014 f150 3.5l: 67,000 miles…warped front driver side rotor from the brake guide pin sticking, went into limp mode from bad electronic throttle body reading so I had it replaced. Truck is quiet, pulls my trailers with ease. Mpg pulling: 7.5-10. Mpg hwy: 16.9. Mpg 55mph roads: 18.5-21.0
synthetic blend oil !? Turbo engines should only be fed full synthetic oil ! I'm impressed the turbos are still factory units. Speaks volumes of that engine.
Ford turbos are not great i just left a dealer after about a year and i swear there was always at least 2 cars getting their turbos replaced due to leaks either it be internal or external.
1992 ford explorer sport with a manual 632763 still running strong
Nice! I've got a '02 f150 manual, 280k with orig. clutch. V6 though.
The 4.0OHV and stick can outlast the owner. I may end up putting a stick in my 96 OHV.
just be thankful you got the explorer before they added the 4.0L SOHC Engine with its timing chains, jack shaft, balance shaft bullshit. My 97 and 04 both have that engine, and they do not last. Now, my 04 has 200k miles on it, but the body and axles. The trans lost overdrive around 140k, the timing chains failed after 150k.
our 2013 f150 eco boost has 150,000 miles, no issues, also use motorcraft filters, and change at around or before 5,000 using motorcraft 5/30 synthetic blend, only thing replaced was front rotors and all around brake pads, great video!
I have a good friend that works for Pace Bus, that use the 3.5 EcoBoost in some of their newer units, and they have been proven to be terrible. Despite switching from 5k oil change intervals, to 3k, they have lost 4 engines at around 100k. Every single 1 of them have had turbo failures as well as multiple ignition failures, and nearly constant check engine lights. Down time is really bad. By contrast, the older V10s have little to no issues. The diesels have had vacuum pump failures, but other than that have been trouble free and give considerably better mileage, compared to their gas counterparts. He told me that by '19, they would be switching to an all diesel fleet.
these engines are very special i was taking my 2020 to jiffy lube and they use medallion motor oil and every time i started my truck engine would make a rattling noise i decided to stop using them and do it myself i use royal purple nor every time i start it man it just sounds like a new engine and runs so smooth its amazing and im at 73,000 miles
I bet his main problem is his
It's called "Ford Tough" for a reason. I just retired my 98 F150 and bought a 2017 ecoboost
Welcome to bluetooth.
I gave my son my 99 f150 instead of getting$500 trade in.he beats the shit out of that poor truck still runs great
I have a 2017 F150 Eco EcoBoost, I just love it! I used it last week to pull out 3 - 6" diameter tree stumps!
@Andrew Smith The story isn't finished so why are you being so negative?
I never had a problem with Toyota. Bought a 2019 5.0 and in the shop for the second time with only 6k miles. Uses oil and motor sounds like a 95 Cummings.
If the 1st gen 1 is this good the 2nd gen is gonna be even more awesome
Oh yeah plastic oil pans are awesome. Go Ford!
@@andybub45 oh..really..cylinder deactivation locking too is awesome!!
This gives me hope. I just bought a 2017 3.5 Liter Ecoboost with 114,000 miles. I am hoping to take care of her
I have a 06 Toyota Tacoma with 250,000 plus with zero repairs! I would say 50,000 off road miles. It’s a miracle that your Ford still exists! Even you are shocked.
Sure, and the moon is made of cheese.
That's Awesome! Please do a follow up at 300k! LMAO
Mine has 59,000 and I’m on my 3rd engine (entirely paid by Ford however).
All maintenance was done on time
Ya...this guy probably has the world record for longest lasting Ecoboost...They typically have pretty shitty longevity, compared with a 5.0, or truck v8s in general
Ford it is a nice place to sit.. LoL.. sit along the road.. Toyota sales our going to sore.. They are building quality .. Ford is building for Wall Street
What went wrong with yours? I'm about to light mine up. Keeps on overheating, but nothing is overheating??? About to buy a rebuilt motor and get rid of ford for good
I'm calling BS. Don't be a hater.
@@artcarr1 , to add to his story, or my own i should say... still on my first motor, but blown head gasket. Timing chain, cam phasers and cam solenoids x 2. Worst of it all... waiting on darn parts. Hell i can do time chain kit these days in 5 hours. Thats how often i had to fight this darn motor. When it goes, it does... but it's ain't the so called perfect motor. You want a good reliable motor, get a 2j. I'm $2k into parts on the 3.5eb and i am so afraid to plan n trip past 100 miles... not shitting you. Ford did not come through on this.
So in my humble opinion.... i feel you can just as well take a motor plan with a 3.5eb truck... it's a motor waiting to blow up. To many people with this issue.
My brothers 88 CRX Si gave 479,500 Kms and still started like new . Rust YES ! Proper maintenance does work !! You don't have to use factory parts either as they are marked up way to high .
I just bought a 2019 F150 XLT with a 2.7L ecoboost. My first new vehicle since 1986. Even then, it was at my wifes urging. I hope mine lasts as long.
that 2.7 will prob outlast all the other motors ford offers in half ton. They are built to handle wayy more power than they do.
but can it run crysis?
Does it take glock mags?
Only at 35 fps.
Crytek engine 240k
I believe so on low settings
For the idiot(s) who don't know, the ticking is the direct injection fuel system, it's running as good as new.
hmmm i would of guessed it to be the the valve lifters. but i know nothing about the eco boost engines.
BronzeChicken that's the direct injection pump and injectors making noise.
BronzeChicken it sounded real bad i mean i guess the guy doing the video was there and not concerned but that sounds bad like more than. injectors
+James Holbrook no nigga
Yeah that sounds like the injectors and mechanical fuel pump. The 2014+ GM V8's have DI and make a similar noise.
This is why the f150 has been the best selling truck over the last 30 years I enjoy the hell out of mine!
Update, my 2011 f150 3.5 ecoboost has 458,000 miles on it now, it’s starting to show some wear but overall it’s been a great reliable pickup and I plan to buy another after this one hits the 500,000 mile mark.
I know the feeling on the filters. Have an 07 ram with a Hemi, when i bought it, chrysler said to use either a Mopar or Wix filter (wix makes the mopar ones), and to never use fram... after fram had the problem with anti-drainback valves failing and getting sucked through the engines... i think chrysler will still void your warranty for installing a fram filter :)
Jeff L we have ran Fram oil filters on our 06 Ram 2500 hemi ever since the day it rolled off of the lot in late 2005 and we have never had any problems. It now has just shy of 100,000 on it.
Consider yourself lucky. Google "Fram orange can of death".
My local dodge dealer showed me a pile of fram filter equipped engines that were junked when i bought my truck. Chrysler still hates them
Steven Vanheel The Mopar filters are available at Walmart for about $5 each, pick one up, it even feels like a more substantial filter.
Hubjeep what brand of filter would you recommend for my 02 silverado?
He got one built on a tuesday lol
egn83b yep
Mine was built on a tuesday .
mine was built on Thursday
more like his F150 was built in japan lmao
asdflkjh More like Kentucky truck plant. so keep on laughing.
My 02 4runner has 300,000 on it and has had very similar maintenance but with the timing belt being done. And it has been poorly maintained by recent owners. And it still runs amazing
My 2011 f-150 3.5 eco lariat hit 206,000 the other day and I finally traded it. It needed the timing chain and phaser fix along with some other issues, so I decided it was a good time to trade. I hope my new 2016 lariat will make it to 200k +!! Love that truck!
Thanks for the video, I am the owner of a 2011 F150 EcoBoost and my combined mileage is right at 16.5 and 22 on the highway. The miles per gallon that I get is pretty much what is printed on the internet . My truck also has a hundred and thirty-two thousand miles .Would like to know how your friend got up to 20 miles per gallon on a combined? Would love to get that!
Did you ever figure out your mpg fix?? Looking at used who averages 15-16 and not sure I’m interested
Takes 6 quarts of 5w30 for those wanting to know. I use full synthetic Amazon brand which is made by Warren. It’s sn plus rated. Give it a try.
The company I work for has a fleet of about 50 F-150’s for salesmen. Most of them are 3.5 Ecoboosts. Most of the truck are well north of 200,000 and we RARELY have any issues come up. Every once in a while a throttle body will go bad or something but they’ve been bulletproof.
My father has a 2012 F150 Xlt with the 5.0 that has 308,000 miles. Only issue so far is a slow rear main leak that loses less than a 1/2 quart between oil changes.
Keep posting updates I’m interested to see how far this one can go- my 2012 has 188,000 miles - still looks and runs like new
Mines about to turn 180k. Looks and drives like new!
I just bought a 2012 with 73k miles. I hope I get the same mileage as you guys
@@r6master69 how is it now?
And now?
@@samuelyeet6006 206k and the same. Love my truck
So a new truck can last as long as one built 30 years ago! This is progress guys!
Alex's Bikes and Motors just barely
Blake Montz My Dad's 2011 F150 XLT with 5.0L Coyote V8 has 105,000 miles on it and it's still going strong.
CJ Colvin Those 5.0s will last forever. I had one in my 97 Explorer. Lasted till 320k when I sold it and it's still driving around town.
XxViciousxX whole different engine design, not same engine family. but I have a 5.0 gt40p with 260k also.
XxViciousxX That's sounds awesome man.
Ecoboost motors are great. I have 120,000km on mine so far and i get better gas mileage than im supposed to. Never selling my truck. Ever.
Righty Twoguns Yea but seriously doubt they'll outlast the engines in the 92-96 Ford F-Series trucks.
On top of good maintenance, a key aspect of keeping an Ecoboost engine running good is airing the ol girl out once in a while. I try to hang her out to dry at least once every drive cycle. ‘11 Ecoboost FX4 w 3:73 gears currently at 113k miles. I also switched to Euro A3 rated oils, but kept on using Motorcraft FL500S. Castrol Edge 0W-40 @5k oil change intervals has worked well for me. At 110k changed trans filter and fluid and transfer case oil. Numerous plugs and air filters. Sway bar end links @ 111k. That’s it. Coming up: front rotors and pads and diff flush. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned.
This is great to hear. I own a modified ecoboost Mustang and hope to see this many miles and more.
In the video, the turbos weren't mentioned at all, so I'm guessing the stock turbos are still running after 200k miles? That's a lot of miles on a turbo.
Scotty Kilmer said that the F-150 was the best truck you can get because of how long they’ve been building them.
(Reminder any vehicle can be an absolute junk heap if not maintained properly.)
Scotty Kilmer doesn't say anything HE SHOUTS IT ALL! BECAUSE ITS MORE IMPORTANTER THAT WAY! lol... he's so annoying.
Scotty Kilmer also recommends against buying this engine and going with the 5.0L
That makes no sense. Both companies have been buidling pickups for the same amount of time.
Andy's Shop
Exactly. Yet for some reason he says Chevys and Dodges are garbage??
@@francesco1998 Dodge is theri trannysbreak alot terrblie dash bad wiring alot
2018 F150 with 110k when I got it (March 2022, payed 30k).
Cam phasers are messed up, starter needs replacing, vct valves, timing is slightly advanced...
It was messed up when I got it, but I ignored the noice.
Dealership where I got it from wants 5k for the repair, luckily I got a 3 year (25$ a month) warranty that's covering about 80% of the cost.
It's in service as we speak, good luck to me.
Anyways, I love the truck but if you're buying used, make sure you don't hear that rough start for about 3 seconds, bad news potentially and get warranty if you can.
My 2004 is at 111,000 miles with the 4.6L V8.
Runs like new. I'll be keeping it for several more years.
I got the exact same 4 door.
In my case with my 14 f150 ecoboost which I bought brand new, I’ve taken good care of it, I didn’t have good luck... leaking rear engine seal, leaking oil pan, transfer case seal leak, leaking/ warped exhaust manifold, stretched timing chain, both rear doors have been fixed multiple times by ford and are once again not opening. Sure makes a guy want to buy another ford.
I have a 2011 f250 6.2 with over 160000 drives great I take good care of it, they are very expensive to replace!
2011 f150 ecoboost here.....109000, going strong
At 122k I just had the cam phasers , chain, and guides done. $1800 at my local dealer. Service writer did all the parts through his employee discount. Other than that, my ecoboost has been fantastic. Mileage sucks, but I'm 4x4 with lift and 33's so its as expected.
Had my timing chains replaced at 140k on my 180k Ecoboost. That was $2600 tho. My buddies ecoboost has 216k miles, and is on its second set of timing chains/guides. This engine aint the most reliable in my opinion. Rather drive my Silverado with the trusty LS.
People are quick to comment and compare a naturally aspirated engine to a Forced Induction v6 that handles 14-20PSI daily from 2 turbos. When will the internet learn common sense.
gt350 dude even the base model v6 can handle a turbo and 6lbs all day every day. got to love boost
gt350 dude I remember Chevy had a great 4 cylinder engine and then thought hey why don't we add a turbo...
melted pistons
Jonathon Vince Doesn't the Duratec 35 have the same block as the Ecoboost 3.5?
When will EcoBoast fanboys wake up and realize that if you're bragging about how well that twin-turbo V-6 lasts in a light-duty half-ton pickup driven like a car you're not helping your case. I've seen GM 5.3s getting similar use go 500,000+. But we're supposed to fall down and worship the overhyped and overstressed CAR ENGINE because its going a whole TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES? And if you give me your EcoBoast I'll subject it to 14-20 psi daily and we'll see if it goes 200,000 miles. Highway driving that engine isn't seeing half that much boost.
And by the way, if you didn't hear how SHITTY that thing sounded "purring" and running "like new", you're just smart and mechanically-inclined enough to be an EcoBoast fanboy. Which is one step above "ricer" these days.
Um, don't you idk, design the motor to deal with that boost? lawl... Not really "eco" if the motor dies early. WAIT A SEC... diesel engines, all boost... millions of miles. Right, boost means nothing.
pro tip: when changing the oil add 1/2 quart while it is draining to flush the bottom of the pan.
Thats stupid
Good idea just to get rid of some oil I don’t need anymore.
I brought up the same thing years ago and was called stupid. I still do it anyways
a suction gun reaches in there
2019 Transit with EcoBoost. 112k miles, 2 sets of coils, set of injectors, dealer had to pull head to remove one of them, now has coolant disappearing 100 miles after it got back from the dealer.
My 2013 platinum 3.5 has 400k it's a Michigan truck all original and worked construction everyday of its life. Purrs like a kitten still
original timing chains and cam phasers? i'm shocked
trigga ville me too frankly
Our 7.3L has EVERYTHING genuine orginal from 1999, 277k miles. We use and abuse it on the farm too. Only thing has had to be replaced was the alternator.
trigga ville me tooooo
Those fresh oil changes serve you well.
Motorcraft oil and filters.
I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4 with the 4.7L 428901 miles and I worked in the oil field and it would run for days with out shutting off, I always use Mopar Oil and Filters
Lyle Morrison my 2004 ra m 4.7 had 320k on it when i sold her..all good except when it reaches below -38c ambient temp and the pcv valve freezes open sprayin all of the motor oil all over the engine....has to be -38c or colder though
The 4.7 is a bulletproof engine. They put it in Grand Cherokees and everybody admits it is superior to old the jeep 6 in every way. They are both bulletproof but the 4.7 actually makes power as well. And leaks less.
Lyle Morrison. Hello Lyle, glad to hear about your Dakota, I have a 2000 Dakota with the 4.7 and I am very carefull about oil changes and maintenance. 205,000 miles and running strong, and smooth. Mobil 1 every 3500 miles.
The 4.7 was ABSOLUTE garbage.
the four people above apparently disagree.
Got 150,000 on my 2018 maintenance maintenance maintenance that’s what keeps them alive got 220,000 out of my 4.6 L and it was still going strong when I sold it.
i have an 04 crown victoria with 180k and i always tell everyone to just fucking change their oil
kinda biased but from what ive seen ford is the only manufacturer other than toyota that actually knows how to make a good efficient engine
GM has the LS but then they added AFM and now most wont last past 80k
I have a 2012 3.5 Ecoboost with 170.000mls and it just keeps on and on. Mobil Full Synthetic oilchange every 5000mls w. Motorcraft Filter is crucial for babying this fantastic Ford Engine. The best Ford ever made I think !
