The reason I got it was big daddy Nathan’s smile when he took the 2.7 to the race track, I thought Nathan has drove everything and loves it, I’m a grandpa with a pretty Red Truck that will fly and looks so good when me and my beautiful lady for the last 37 year go on our weekly date night, we’re kids again in my ole 67 fast back mustang, I call it my pony truck!

I have a 16 F-150 3.5 Eco, I regularly get 19-20 combined. On the highway I get 22-25 mpg. Over the life of the truck, from 2016 to current day I am getting 18.6. If you cant get the mileage you aren't trying. Keep in mind, I do NOT drive the speed limit. Usually 5 to 10 over. When I tow I get 12-15. I love the best they could come up with as a negative on the 3.5 was the augmented sound. Get over yourselves! I love my 3.5 Eco and would recommend to anyone!! I have had 2 and both were awesome!

Marty Wilkinson good! Glad to hear.

I think the 5.0 Coyote ist an outstanding engine, and I'd always prefer a bullet-proof V 8 over a turbocharged V 6, even if it is more powerful! 395 hp are a decent number in this class, even perfectly appropriate for a Raptor! For those who want more: Just tune it up a bit, 450+ hp coyotes no problem at all!

I have the V8 in a 2016. It’s been great so far.

A small jumper wire on the start stop switch disabled mine. Cost me about 20 minutes and an 2 inches of 24 gauge wire. Worked like a charm.

I have a 3.3l in a reg cab 4x4 long box and it gets 11.3liters/100k. 20 mpg. It has enough power to pull my Lincoln welder. In the 80’s trucks a lot heavier where being pulled around with less. I like the extra room under the hood and the lack of turbos should make it last longer. So far so good!

Motor companies wouldn't make the investment in software and drivetrains if there wasn't a gas mileage or emissions benefit, it makes no economic sense to do so. The savinffs all depend on your drive cycle. A lot of highway driving of course would see near zero benefit, but a standard commute with stop lights will net larger returns. As far as engine damage, that's nonsense from biased/old school 3000 mile oil change people. The engines are modified to retain oil near friction points to prevent wear, which is minimal in a warmed up engine anyway. And there is no physical way for starting your engine to increase oil consumption. The puff of blue smoke from a worn engine is due to the time the oil has had to slip past seals, it is still consuming oil through worn seals during operation, but you just can't see the smoke due to the amount.

The next day I brought it to the dealer and no codes ! It was like it never happened ! It had to be a computer thing . Other than that one incident , I’m 100% 2.7 !

Thanks For The Info Guys 👍

from what i have figured out is that you can order fleet trucks through third party vendors , typically in my experience you can buy trucks from industrial supply companies for example fastenal. SO im curious if you could order the base diesel f150 through them since they are a fleet buyer.

Dalton Michaels Got mine at a dealer that had a fleet ordered truck that wasn’t taken. I got a great deal on it.

2016 5.0 with 47,000 miles been great wanted a 2.7 but ended up with a 5.0 xlt 302A basically a lariat without leather been really good wish for better mileage not bad now and better hauling capacity. Bought with 7400 miles

roger lopez I did have a warranty claim for my 4x4 it basically grenaded and had to be replaced probably due to over use on icy roads due to shit tires

Very happy with 3.5L eco in my 2020 Lariat. Great performance in the Rockies at altitude and it tows nicely up mountain passes with enough torque. No issues so far at 50K miles, but I change oil religiously.

I drive a F150 crew cab 4x4 with the Ecoboost 3.5 . I pull a 7500 pound RV Laredo. I pull the high Lake Charles La bridge and never slowed down. I got 10mph pulling and average 18 local not pulling and 21 Hwy! Great engine. Use a Husky Centerline Hitch

Best engine is hands down the 3.5 ecoboost. Period.

After 60,000 miles of towing, it will be worn out.

2.7 for me

ok so I plan to haul around +/- 1200lbs payload regularly, with occasional increases. no/rare towing. considering RC XL. which engine is going to be the most efficient for this?

thank you, just what I needed to decide!

No matter what everyone thinks or says, the 2.7 EB with 10A is the best engine for 90%+ of pickup truck owners! Unless you want to tow more than 8000lbs regularly, nothing beats its efficiency (without a load), its overall power, torque, etc.

Eric Josey no, the manual says minimum 87 octane and if towing close to max load for an extended period to use 91 octane, but other than that I have not seen any difference in my truck in terms of performance or MPG with either type of gas despite many trials in hot and cold weather.

We have a 2018 King Ranch with the 3.5, just hit 25k and avg 17.1 MPG from new. We have never reset the trip screen. About 2k is towing a 10k camper and my wife is a lead foot.

What are the chances they will or can put the diesel in the upcoming Bronco? Also how do you think the arrangement with Rivian will effect the truck line?

Powerstroke has peaked my interest. My dealer said to go ecobost. I want the mpg and a little power for the mountains.

I have a 19 2.7L XLT ecoboost with the Fx4 package its all the truck ill need.

I'm leaning towards the 5.0 and adding forced induction but if I was a person who was just going to leave the truck stock then the EcoBoost would definitely be the best choice. People who talk smack about the 3.5 EcoBoost have never driven one. I had one for work. it's quicker and more powerful than any stock V8 truck.

@@williammartin2374 Here's the story William. I buy a 2019 Ford F150 Platinum with the 3.5 Ecoboost engine. Lovely truck. Second day the miss starts. Try to hold a constant speed and the engine is missing. You can actually watch the fuel consumption gag jumping. So I go to the dealership. We fixed it they say; ambient air sensor in the rearview mirror. I drive home and it happens again. I make another appointment and the dealership gives me a rental. Another 2019 F 150. I head home and it's doing it too. So I get a call two days later "come get the truck" I go to the dealership and they are embarrassed. They said they couldn't fix it and found the problem with others on their lot. I'm told that Ford is trying to fix the problem but nothing so far.I'm told I'm going to have to live with it. I talked to the service manager who tells me to go behind the dealership and see the Rams sitting there. "They belong to the mechanics" I'm told. So I get in touch with Ford who reveal that it's true. They tell me they will get a fix.They call me in two weeks time and say there is a fix and "we mailed the disk to the dealership". Right. Two weeks later and it still hasn't arrived. I call bull s**t and they help me buy a Ram. They arranged the deal and I traded in the F150. Now drive a Ram. Too bad because I loved the Ford but that dead miss (like there's water in the fuel or a bad plug) was too much to take. Maybe they fixed it, I don't know and I don't care anymore. Cost me 4K to up-grade to the Ram but the truck is flawless so far.

My 2017 5.0 V8 has been flawless, I love it

Really like these trucks. The 5.0 sound is enjoyable all the time. The power difference only shows up periodically. Plus i can't remember the last time i really raced some body, being and old fart.

When will Ford catch on that everyone wants the 5.0 in the Raptors??

Well done, gentlemen! I am purchasing a 27’ Airstream travel trailer whose dry weight is 5,900 pounds and whose gross weight is 7,600 pounds. I was leaning towards the Ram 2500 4x4 diesel Laramie until I watched this video. I plan to crisscross North America, including mountain states. 1. Do I even need to be looking at the 250/2500 class of trucks? 2. Do I need to be looking at diesel engines? 3. HD and/or towing packages? Thank you very much! I am a rank beginner with trucks.

That $2600 for the 3.5 EcoBoost also upgrades the rear axle from a 8.8" to a 9.75"

I have a 2018 f150 with the 3.5 EcoBoost. I commonly haul upwards of 3000 pounds in the bed. ~$350 for airbags in the back + the max towing package... I like it way better than the coyote with the payload package. Has better fuel economy and having adjustable suspension (rear airbag suspension) it rides smoother empty to

I have a 2017 f150 3.5 Eco SCREW 4x4 with 10 speed w22k miles and I love it. Does everything I need and leaves a smile on my face. I get 17mpg city, 21 mpg hwy, 11 mpg towing 7.5 x 16 cargo trailer. I have driven it across country at one point driving it 31 straight hours with my buddies rotating driving without a hiccup. My only mechanical issues have been 2 lug nuts that ruptured and wobble in 5th gear that’s happened a couple of times. I did have issues with towing my enclosed trailer (weighs 5k lbs) specifically on the highway when an eighteen wheeler passes I got sucked in but added an Anderson Sway Control Hitch that solved it. I paid $38k for it (MSRP was $53k) with the XLT and heated seat package. My biggest concern is durability out of the engine but I will change the oil every 5K, so time will tell but I love it.

Good numbers! Sometimes people forget it is a Lariat with more weight. My real-world highest was 28mpg but I had to drive slower.

I looked at those Engines and went with the 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 Crewmax.

The good old 5.0 coyote

As much as I like the power numbers of both turbo charged V6's I would most certainly choose the V8. Hands down best motor overall. The best balance and is going to be much more reliable and better sounding. Hope Ford continues to offer V8 options. But I can certainly see the attraction to the turbo charged V6's.

I agree with the sound, but the rest goes to my 2015 3.5. Best truck I've ever had. Never a problem, and it pulls much better than the 5.0. Hauls a camper on a weekly basis (in east TN mountains) and doesn't burn or leak an ounce of oil. Every one I know with am EB loves it.

Out of the Fords, the 5.0L is the best engine? For transmissions is it the 6 speed auto or the 10 speed transmission?

Let’s not forget you can get the Ford Flex with the 3.5ltr ecoboost in it with all wheel drive. I drove one and I’m telling you now it’s pretty quick for what it is.
