Is the Ford EcoBoost Reliable? Owners Tell Us All! Dude, I Love or Hate My New Ride @HomeEdition 

Hey all! Thanks for watching! We know 70,000 miles isn't all that "high mileage". These are the oldest and highest mileage 3.5's we received over the last week or so. This is where YOU Come in. If you have a high mileage ecoboost (150,000+) we want to hear about it. Send us a submission: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pfAwYr3szVM.html We'll have more detailed instructions soon but we specifically want to know about reliability and longevity. Hope to hear from you soon! -The TFLtruck Team

You guys can’t find trucks with +200k? I’m sorry but 70k isn’t high mileage.

My friend has a 2011 F150 Ecoboost, and it's has 310000 miles on it. With regular maintenance, he has not had any issues at all, and he tows a trailer daily about 120 miles each way for work. Trailer weight is 7500 pounds. As longs as you take care of your vehicle, it'll take care of you.

America needs to build Fords like they build them in Australia! Bring back The 300 cubic inch straight 6 too!

I do have a 2012 XLT ecoboost with the 3.5 engine, i got it new and i already have 150,000+ miles on it and no issues so far except for the regular maintenance. So happy to have this truck.

My 7.3L Powerstroke still has low mileage at 225K

High miles starts at 200k, not 70k

I have a 2014 3.5 with 115,000 miles. I changed the spark plugs as well when I started having a misfire - cylinder 3 as well. All of my plugs were at various gaps. Used the updated plugs from Ford and it’s been great ever since. That, Oil changes every 5,000 miles, and an O2 sensor is all I have had to do. This engine with the 3.73 gears is incredible to tow with. I’d recommend an EcoBoost to anyone, and that’s coming from someone who was dead set on a 5.0 until I drove the Eco.

We have a 2011 with modifications, tune, intake, downpipe‘s, etc., and it is an absolutely solid truck, 224,000 miles and counting and still runs like it has 50,000

I used to work at a dealership and we had a 2014 f-150 lariat 3.5 ecoboost with 230,000 miles. Even with that many miles the truck drove like a dream!!

I totaled my 2011 F150 3.5 L Ecoboost XLT 4x4 Supercrew can 2 weeks ago!! 285,000 miles bought August 2011! I am completely heartbroken over this truck!! Catalytic converters were removed, adding +_ 50 horsepower, ECU towing tune!!! I’m just a single mom working the night shift nurse life!!!! Best damn vehicle I have ever owned!!

Minimum is 200k to be even considered high mileage. Don't be clickbaity

Closing in on 200K Miles, transmission is perfect and shifts smoothly. Super quick truck. Love it.

A laundry list of problems? I think everyone agrees that was NOTHING and goes into the column “Regular Maintenance.”

Oh I was expecting like 300k miles lol

My 2015 F150 3.5 Ecoboost just turned 200k miles and runs great. I often get asked how I like my new truck. Aluminum body was a great move by Ford. Truck has zero dings or corrosion and is driven on harsh MN winter roads.

I had a 2012 EcoBoost until Dec. 2017. It was equipped with the max tow package and I installed a B&W gooseneck hitch. I often pulled a 25’ deck over, 20’ stock trailer, or 27’ boat. It was worked harder than any F150 I know of. It had 180,000 miles when I traded it for a F250. Nothing was ever done to it beyond routine maintenance. I loved that truck, how it drove and handled. Engine was powerful and responsive. Not really any more economical than the 5.0L, but tons more power

71k is not considered anywhere near higher mileage.

The F150 EcoBoost engines can hit 200k+ miles easily if maintained properly. That so called “laundry list” of problems was just maintenance. And that rattle noise is the phasers, not the chains. Plenty of room between the front cover and radiator so it’s not too bad of a job, plenty of room to work. I’ve done phasers on a handful of EcoBoost trucks, can easily be done in a day.

I worked on a first gen Ecoboost 2011 F150 just the other day. Came in for a timing chain job. Guy said it's never been touched except for tune-ups and oil changes. Truck had 415k on it. After replacing the timing chain and guides I took it for a test drive. Thing ran like the day it was new.

Have a f150 fx4 3.5 I bought new in 2011, with 186000+ miles, change the oil every 6000 miles with 50-50, been thru 2 sets of brakes, Trans rebuild, replace 2 sets of plugs and I still love this truck.

184,000 on '11 3.5eb Lariat. Hauls regularly to dump, EcoBoost power no joke! Truck is in work fleet now and still abused regularly, holding up fine!

I have a 2011 eco Boost i bought it brand new and the truck has 200155 miles. The only trouble i have had was coil packs but it was still under warranty and i still love my truck

I have a 2.7 ecoboost (2017) with 118,000 miles. It is my daily work truck that I cover the state of NM in. It has been great and reliable! Only regular maintenance. Brakes twice, one set of tires and regular oil changes, tire rotations and one set of plus. I haul about 800 lbs constantly with all my parts in the bed. Runs like a champ still and pulls strong up the mountains!

I got 2013 ecoboost with 210,945 and counting is my daily drive. I live in KC where the weather is so cold in winter and so hot in summer. It’s tuned making 330hp and 418 torque with stock turbos. No leaks, no problems. Original timing and original timing tensioners. And one time I went to Miami, Fl from KC my dad and I drove 25hr straight didn’t shut off the engine and another 25hr back. Do the oil change every 5000 with the best oil in the market.

I guess when you are TFL and used to driving demos with only 100 Miles on them 70k is a lot.

I've got 137,000 miles on my 2013 F150 FX4 Ecoboost and I've never had a single issue with my truck. Always used full synthetic Motorcraft oil and filter and nothing has been modified. Interior is still in perfect condition as if it were new. I actually traded off the truck and then shortly after bought it back because it was such a good truck to me and I knew I made a mistake getting rid of it.

2011 f150 4x4 260,905 running strong on Regular maintenance. Lifted on 35s. Owned it 7years. Bought it with 39,000miles Still hasn't left me stranded. Hauled over 13k multiple times

Got 186k on my 2011 EcoBoost. Had a slight coolant leak from a fitting on the head at 185k - cost me $200. Aside from that, nothing but routine stuff.

2013 230,000 miles on it no issues

Turbos have been used all around the world for nearly 60 years and have improved dramatically in the past 20 years. For turbo diesels in Australia one thing we watch closely is exhaust gas temperatures as turbos on boost towing up a hill can get extremely hot. Modern diesels will cut fuel if they get too hot, so it will be interesting to test the cooling capacity and time before the motor goes into safe mode. Trucks driven within Ford's specified towing limits, serviced regularly and given time to warm up and cool down after intense driving should have their turbos last 150,000 miles+ before wearing out.

I should’ve sent y’all a video of my truck I have a 2012 150 with a 3.5 has 278k miles on it. Great truck

You asked for 150,000 miles or over, but my 2013 has 112,000 and always keep my maintenance up to date. Thus far no issues and the only thing that was out of the norm is my vacuum pump seal has a slight leak, so I’ve ordered my new OEM seal that cost me $8.00 and will be replacing it soon. Other than that it’s been spot on...

115,200 miles on my 2015 Expedition ecoboost, never any problems.

I have a 2014 FX4 eco boost with 267000 miles. Runs like a top and the only major thing I have had to replace are the O2 sensors.

My truck is a 2012 F150 fx4 with the 3.5 eco boost. It currently has 230,784 miles on it, i work in the tile industry so I have to load it up with a trailer; and to this day have had no major problems with it. In fact, since I’ve owned it my “major problem” has switching out 2 spark plugs, that it.

My gf’s uncle has a 2011 Ford F-150 with the ecoboost and it has 275,000 miles and it’s still running pretty good. Engine and transmission are still strong. Feel like that’s good info to add to the video 🤷🏻‍♂️

This was a joke. A laundry list of problems seriously that's regular maintenance

I’ve got a 3.5L with 215k lariat all I’ve had to do is breaks and oil changes. I use it for work (construction) and it is the love of my life.

I have a 2014 XLT 3.5 with over 240,000 miles. I love it and have had very few problems. Front hubs around 120,000 a new battery after six years, four sets of tires and three brake replacements. A O2 sensor and three sets of plugs. Getting ready to replace a vacuum pump leaking oil.

I’ll say this. I work at a parts shop and in my area which is central Texas the turbo 3.5 keeps having misfires due to condensation in the Intercooler which fouls out plugs only happens during the winter and spring times and I also keep seeing mass air flow sensors going out other than that I think it’s a decent truck.

My 2011 3.5 eco boost has 263K miles , no major issues and still running tough

I've got a 2012 ecoboost with 208,000 miles on mine so far, 194,000 of which were in its previous life as a highway construction contractor's vehicle. The transmission can shift a bit rough from time to time if I'm really trying to put the pedal down, but considering its age and heavy useage over the course of it's life, it honestly runs pretty well.

I had a 2015 2.7 ecoboost. Kept up with maintenance. Put 186,000 miles in 3years, over 100,000 of those miles with a loaded 16ft trailer. Had the 6speed trans. Not 1 problem. Trans still shifted like new & all the power was there. Traded it in for a 2018 STX with same engine & 10speed trans. 68,000miles so far. Most with a trailer. 0 problems. Chevy will never get me back unless Ford makes some really bad decisions. Lol

With dual scroll twin turbo engines its essential to flush the coolant every 30000 miles. The turbos cook the coolant at shut down. Also you do not want to use the 10000 mile interval on oil changes. I would recommend 5000 miles or less with full synthetic.

I had a 2011 that was a really solid truck. I traded it in with 155k on the clock. I never had any major issues with it. I would get misfires and have to change the plugs. I was running a tuner and read that this could cause plugs to foul up quickly. I used to change my plugs every 25k so it wasn't much of an issue. The plugs back then we're only about $4 each for the Motorcraft plugs. It only took about 20-30 minutes to swap all of them. Ultimately I made the mistake of buying a travel trailer that was way too big for the truck. It was a power issue, it was a tail wagging the dog issue. In windy conditions that truck would move around a lot. You could definitely feel the weight. I traded it on an F-350, and now I never feel the weight.

I put new cam phasers and a timing chain on my dad's '11 f150 ecoboom at around 60k miles. It's really not a bad job to do, you don't need to pull the front clip , just intake/coolant piping and you can pull the front cover. It's also his own fault for ruining the phasers, going ridiculously long between oil changes and on cheap oil.

I have a 2013 F-150 EB FX4, bought it 3 years ago with 27k miles, now about to pass 123k. I use it regularly for work running swimming pool routes. Every once in a while if it sits long enough like for 3 days strait, it'll have the cam phaser or timing chain rattle at startup. Doesn't seem to affect how it runs. The only remote issue thats ongoing right now is the front timing cover leaks oil right at the top corner where oil is able to get on the exhaust manifold, so sometimes when sitting still and idling I'd get a wiff burning oil through the vents. Otherwise hasn't seen a shop visit for any kind of mechanical failure. I know they've been kinda hit or miss with some problems, some have stretching timing chains, cam phasers going bad, turbos failing or leaking coolant, intercoolers filling up with water on the first couple year models. Oh yeah cant forget about carbon build up on intake valves but that's real common on direct injection engines. But as for deeper inside the engine itself, I haven't heard a single thing about one non-tuned blowing a piston or something along those lines, because that's all what a lot of truck guys were preaching on about when these first hit the market. "It's a small over stressed turbo engine that will blow up in no time, tough and strong v8 or bust!"

168k on my 2011 F-150 3.5 ecoboost, still going strong with no problems

I had a 2011 F150 Lariat with the 3.5 Ecoboost. Sold it at 219,000 miles. I had two issues, the first was the timing chain, the second was a coil pack failure. Averaged 18.2 MPG. I simply loved the power towing trailers, mostly boats. I purchased the 2011 used with 70k miles on it. I replaced it with a 2017 F150 Lariat with the 3.5 Ecoboost as well. I have put 30K trouble free miles on the 2017, averaging 19 MPG on it. Great trucks, all the power, tow like crazy. Change the oil regularly and it think the tubos will be ok, at least that is my experience.

My 12 platinum 4x4 1st Gen Ecoboost has 155k on odometer. Still running great. Zero problems what do ever

IF you run them reasonably hard such that Intercooler condensation doesn't build and you change the oil meticulously - it'll last forever The IC was just too big until the 2015 design and the Direct Injection causes fuel dilution that resulting in the timing chain stretch if you extend the oil change intervals I've not had fouled plug issues but I change them every 60K KM. I believe the Gen 1 Motor was the best one, as long as you: Drill the IC if necessary Change oil every 6k KM using a good synthetic Change the plugs more often Catch Can if you want Plug in the Truck if it gets colder than -15C (again to prevent timing chain stretch) The Gen 2 - I've been told has even worse timing chain issues even though they changed the routing The big Shop in town has said the Gen 1 eco has been the BEST motor they've seen, even tuned hard... there is a lot to day about the Mazda/Ford 3.5 Duratec motor design fdfIts like the Gen 2 is the new version of the 2nd Gen 5.4 triton with the 3v - just using the F150 as a platform to play around, while the 2v 5.4 was used in the E350's since 97 this Gen 1 was put into so many platforms including the current Transit - detuned to 310 HP but still absolutely a beast in its application. Again, its just a DI and boosted version of a Duratec which clearly was engineered right.

I had a 2013 F150 with 248k on it when I Got rid of it 1.5 years ago. It was a solid truck, only issue I had was related to the PCV valve would clog up with oil and drop in to the spark plug well and eventual drip on to the exhaust manifold, looked great pulling a 22ft pontoon boat and the engine would start smoking at a traffic light lol

I’ve seen many with over 200k miles. Change the oil and give it the beans every once in a while or tow with it so the turbos spill plenty and stay clean, they last a long time

I had a 2012 f150 platinum new. Drove it to 177,000 miles and had an accident that totaled it. Only problem with the engine was two ignition coils in that time and it was still running strong. I loved that truck! Needless to say I do miss it. I will be getting another one but it will be used this time.

I have a 2012 3.5 ecoboost. 138K miles. Had to have the intake cleaned twice. Spit and sputter at acceleration. Added a catch can and took care of that problem. Other than general maintenance it’s been flawless. No rust and plan to keep it. (8/21)

Great video guys. Appreciate all the work you put in to make this such a GREAT channel. As for me, I love a naturally aspirated V-8 truck.

161,000 2013 from Texas fx2. Recently needed O2 sensors and next i will need to fix the leaking gasket. Other than that the truck serves me more than great and pulls my 2500 pound trailer like its nothing. Love the truck

I think chrome looks nice plus his laundry list it's just normal things wear and tear I think it should have got a 9

Ford f150s are known best for being the most popular vehicles on the road, period! I have a 2003 with 5.4l with 210k, still running great, and a 2013 with the 3.5 Ecoboost... Looking forward to pushing the Ecoboost to 200k+.

I drive a 2017 f150 4X with a 2.7 eco boost, this is a employer provided vehicle and took possession of the truck with 50,000 miles on it on March of 2018. Since then, I have managed to log on a little over 100,000 miles. Fast forward to 4/2020 and at over 150,000 miles now on the odometer, the only repairs that this truck has needed so far has been just the basic maintenance needs, ie oil services, tires, transfer case, differential service , etc... no water pump, power steering or external part issues or failures, Haven’t even had to do the brakes yet, but have to say that they are close to needing to be replaced. I wasn’t a Ford fan prior to acquiring this truck but this truck has certainly changed my opinion on Ford trucks!

Thanks for the video, sounds similar to me. I have a 2013 FX4 with the 3.5 Eco with about 94k miles on it. It’s been a great truck for daily use and towing. My wife and I took a 2 week camping trip to the Rockies (we’re from Central Illinois) towing our pop-up camper the whole way and the truck did great the whole way, averaging around 13mpg towing 3000lbs cross country and in the mountains. I tow farm trailers at home sometimes and it has no problem. I actually convinced my dad to upgrade from his ‘04 F150 to a 2020 Lariat with the 3.5 and he loves it too.

My 2001 Tacoma with 437,000 miles with original engine and transmission. Start every time never broken down.

Work at a ford dealer seen 3.5 eb with over 300k miles. Just in for plugs and oil change eb are actually Damn good engines

I have 2013 eco screw lariat 4 x 4 with 119k. It runs like it's new. Besides regular maintenance all I've had to do was change the throttle body at 112k. It tows well on east mountains and the Rocky Mountains. No complaints. I have after market stuff.

I'm a mechanic and we see alot of these in the shop. Fairly reliable. Highly recommend doing timing chains before 150k and the turbos like to leak on these.

Only a 170k miles, thats nothing. I have seen a 2012 Eco Boost up here in Calgary with 730,000 km (453,000 miles) with only routine maintenace done. The key is the Catch can for the direct injection and Syntetic Oil for turbo life. Extended oil change intervals are killers of turbo's.

I have the exact same truck as in the first clip except for gear ratio is 3.55 and I currently have 98,800 miles. I have not had any issues what so ever with mine. I did get mine as used truck back in 2019 and the truck 61,751 miles on it. I’m very pleased with it so far and the truck runs like a top. I did change sparks plugs around 88,00 miles. I’m hoping 3-4 four hundred thousand out it.

I have a 2013 F150 4x4 Lariat. Ecoboost has 98,000 miles. I have only changed the brake pads, battery and transmission fluid! Never had 1 issue!!! I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!!!!

Everything was regular maintenance the question is the turbos and they seem to be okay

I have a 2017 explorer sport with 55k and I change the oil every 5k with synthetic. Drained and refilled the PTU at 40k. Never has been to the dealer for anything. Love this vehicle!

They need catch cans. I have torn down 2 engine cores for that I can’t say for sure but carbon and gunk buildup I would say 170 to 200k. They were both 2013 to 2014. I just finished rebuilding my new work truck 2013 with 148k. Blades on turbo’s were pretty gummed up and internally gritty. One had a cracked housing on exhaust side so that was interesting. No others I broke down had that of 6 turbos total. Valves were Horrible! Lots of time cleaning valves. Chain had grown just shy of 3/4 of an inch over the new timing chain. New cam sprockets and just about everything else while I had the engine out. Also rear main seal was leaking but most of that was actually coolant line seals at the block for the turbos and some from the vacuum pump. Corrosion seems mild to major. Would be much better if things were ceramic coated and other things just better paint. My next project is to put an 3.5l eco boost in my 06 along with 2013 interior. Can’t wait to figure this unicorn out.

Where I work we use F-150 Ecoboost 3.5 L starting from 2012 up to current year. Most units are over 90k and under 170k. They work really good and still have fast acceleration and power.

What a joke. 70k is high mileage? Lmao.

Ecoboost engines are very reliable I just have one 2012 XLT 4X4 and drove it till 187,000 never had any issues with the truck

I had a fully loaded ecoboost fusion for 6 yrs. The engine was the only thing that gave me no problems. Now i own a 2018 f150 xlt with the 3.5l ecoboost engine. Had it for a yr. Again, no problems with the engine other than i wish my truck sounded more like a truck. And this time, theres no problems with the vehicle because i purposefully got a truck with no features. Love the thing. Best vehicle i ever owned.

Tommy's reaction to Roman's nonsense at 8:15 may have been the greatest moment in tfl history. I was wondering where Roman was trying to go with that.

So far I'm pretty impressed with my 2.7 ecoboost. My wife smoked an Audi in it, and he looked perplexed. It tows well, handles a full payload quite well. Hopefully it has years of reliability left in it.

I have a company vehicle, 2017 f-150 with the 3.50 eco boost. It has 140,000 miles. I had the same issue with the spark plugs. Other than that it has been problem free. I’m ordering a new one soon I’m getting the exact same truck.

2015 3.5 eco boost. Just rolled 84,000 miles. Service schedule is set and maintained by my dealer. Literally just a new belt at 50k ish brakes at 65k and my 3rd set of wipers... truck is all stock. Got over 55k on the original tires even.

I've had my 2012 3.5 EcoBoost crew cab for about a year now. Had a 120 thousand miles when I bought it... about 135 now. Not long after purchasing I had a coil pack go bad. Was completely stock when I got it. Recently I've added catback exhaust.. coldair intake... SCT tuner with mpt prx93 tune. Absolutely love the truck.... will absolutely embarrass any 5.3 or 6.2 chevy... and will gap new 5.7 dodge rams. The only truck I've had stay with me was a highly modified duramax... but was still outrunning him. I am having the rattle issue on start up sometimes...

My 2011 3.5 EB has over 100,000 miles and runs like a top. It had the typical timing chain wear fixed under warranty and EPAS failure just recently but apart from regular maintenance, all is good (knock on wood).

Ford needs to make a Twin Turbo V8!!!

2013 3.5L. Brought new in Sealy Texas. 84,000 miles’. Changed Spark Plugs, Cleaned Fuel System, replaces Front Brake discs and new Bilstein 5100 shocks at 80,000 miles. Other than that nothing but new tires and Oil changes. Love my F150

The second GEN 2.7 fixed a lot of the problems from the first GEN. It is a much more reliable engine, now more refined.

I loved my 13' F150 Ecoboost all the way up until about 100K miles. I did plugs at 60K, did front rotors and pads around 60K as well and changed my oil and filter and that was pretty much it for Maint. Zero issues up until that point. Since then I've had to change the timing chain due to the startup rattle ($3K job), I have recurrent engine misfires on cyl 6. I started with replacing the coil and all the plugs again and gapped to .30" and I'm still having missfire issues. I even drilled the weep hole which leaks like crazy. I'm getting close to losing faith in this engine. I'm going to try and clean out my MAF sensor and throttle body and clean my CAC to see if that makes a difference. Up until 100K miles I absolutely loved this truck. It tows like crazy and has so much power but with the constant issues I don't trust it anymore. If I do another F150 I'll go with the 5.0 Coyote. I've heard the newer eco boosts are trouble free but I just can't get myself to trust that engine. Sorry Ford.

These are just Great videos...Really love this new Home edition series...Some serious nice trucks..Thanks so much to Roman n Tommy for taking the time to put this show together.

I have 260k km on my 1.0 ecoboost. Dream of an engine. Not a F150, but still some feedback on a member of the ecoboost range :)

I have a 2013 that I bought in 2012. I have been surprised by not having a loss of power. Still runs great at 119K miles.

I have a 2012 eco-boost with 112k. The most annoying issue that I have been dealing with since I bought it last year is the slip yoke binding and kicking. Removing the drive shaft and lubing the slip yoke fixed the issue so far. I was worried it was going to bitch up my rear diff.

I know this is a bit late, but to the fella with the 2nd white truck that had overheating issues, having the license plate mounted on the grille instead of the bumper will decrease airflow through the radiator and make it harder for it to keep the engine cool. I'm sure the sticking thermostat was your main culprit though. Just food for thought, truck looks great!

Let's see them reach 300k with no engine problems like my 1998 F150 4.2l single cab. I've hauled plenty of loads of wood, coal, water, and gravel a bunch of times. She rattles a bit with old oil, but still hauls ass. I've had one trans rebuild, but everything runs good.

Original owner, stock 2012 lariat 3.5 ecob. 4x4, 208,000 miles, no repairs, just maintenance. X-replaced rotors at 200k just because I was installing pads, and why not at 200k, only broken item- the gas tank door. Only towed about 5000 of those miles, approx 20,000 off road - gravel and farm, driven between MO-LA, MO-TX, MO-CO,

TFL Truck is a great source of info. I’ve been skeptical of the 3.5, but after watching TFL for years 💪🏻👍🏻 I finally bought a 2019 F150 3.5. I will definitely say the eco boost has out performed my 2013 5.0...oh yeah the mpg increase is a benefit too. Thanks again.

I used to have a 3.5 Eco in a 12th gen truck. The only engine related issue I had was the rattle on some cold starts. This was a known issue with the cam phasers for which a TSB was issued. It was fixed under warranty.

My friend has a 2013 Ford F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost. With over 420,000 kms it's still running good.

95,000 Miles and broke a front coil spring (not really ecoboost related) and from the dealership the rear diff lip seal... Brakes on all 4 corners and a couple sets of tires... Had an overboost code thrown, replaced a $20 sensor. Replaced the rear door wiring harness because the door was "ajar" and wouldnt lock/unlock... Thats about it. Pretty happy. So really, a $20 sensor is the only ecoboost related item.

I consider 200,000 miles the break over point of "higher mileage". Headed for 300k on a 2000 ranger 3.0 with no problems only normal maintenance brakes etc. I had a Dodge diesel that's still in the family approaching 500k. I have always been a Ford man but These OHC chain problems have scared me away.

I have 212k on my 2011 F150. I absolutely love the 3.5 ecobeast. I have been everywhere towing my Harleys, boat and travel trailer. The only thing I replaced was the driver side turbo about 2 weeks ago. My son gets it next year and I am getting a new one.

I am a road warrior putting over 1200 miles a week on my 2011 mkS 3.5 ecoboost, I have over 253,000 miles on it! The only catastrophic failure was the torque converter at 224,00 miles (10/2019); oil changes at Ford Dealer almost monthly!recently switched to premium fuel when the catalyst code popped up- no reset just fuel change and light goes off
