200,000 Mile F150 EcoBoost Review 

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!

That give me hope

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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..

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!

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

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!

Jonathon Smith I seriously doubt they'll out last the engines in the 92-96 Ford Trucks.

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.

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.

Still have it?

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!!!

How much miles is it at now?

@@olin_7 my 2018 Power Wagon has 27XXX miles

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

SFB starter motor worn> engine bearings worn

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.

still runnin?

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

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

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

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.

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

Tf you talking about. No replacement for a good ol V8.

@@andybub45 v8's will be obsolete. Welcome to the future.

Runs great though so proof good maintenance is key

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.

Oh yeah plastic oil pans are awesome. Go Ford!

@@andybub45 oh..really..cylinder deactivation locking too is awesome!!

Does it take glock mags?

Only at 35 fps.

Crytek engine 240k

I believe so on low settings

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.

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

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

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.

Umm…. That tappet that rides on the cam lobe IS lubricated with engine oil already

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.

*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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Did you ever figure out your mpg fix?? Looking at used who averages 15-16 and not sure I’m interested

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?

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.

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.
