I have 340k miles on my 2013 F150 eco boost, a lot of it towing a trailer. It is bulletproof.

[dylanscarangella]

Personally got a 2013 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost with a 181000 miles and it has been an absolute amazing truck no issues at all other than regular maintenance every 5k

[surplussean]

My 3.5 EcoBoost is a beast. Tows like a diesel. I've never had a problem towing and I regularly tow over 9k. 87k miles on odometer, no issues.

I have a 2019 F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. It's had Mobil 1 oil changes every 5, 000 miles. It had cam phaser failure at 48, 000 miles. Now at 85, 000 miles the valve covers are leaking and it has bad cam phasers again. What a great truck...

My '16 F150 with the 2.7, best truck and engine I have ever had in 50 yrs of driving.
Keep oil changed every 3500 miles with Penzoil Platinum, cheap insurance.
Pulls our RV at GVCW 12, 500 in hills and mountains like it is not loaded.
2wd, and a 3.31 axle.
Never strains, engine is smooth and rotationally silent.
Uses no oil, truck by itself on interstate kept at 65mph gets 25mpg +/-.
I am happy with it.
I wish Ford would redesign the 3.5 using 2.7 tech so if I ever need a bigger set up a 3.5 max tow would be there.
I love it.

I've had a 2015 3.5 and just love it. Besides tires and oil changes, never had an issue with it at all... I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon.

Currently driving a 2nd gen 3.5l, over 120k miles and still going strong

I got a 2021 platinum 3.5 in January before the chip fiasco. I loooove it. 10000 miles already and no problems. Rides and drives great. I talked to 4 people with older 3.5’s. Lowest millege is 60000, highest is 178000. Neither one has had any problems.

This might’ve been the most simple and easiest to understand video describing the ecoboost I’ve seen I’m becoming a huge fan of this engine

[wyomingcowboy]

Good video. Your best comment was your last one. Yes Ford recommends 10, 000 mile oil change. Don't do that!! Reset the oil indicator in your dash to 50% life (approx. 5, 500 miles). I am original owner, 2013 F150, 3.5 eco, 240, 000 miles, Mobile 1 oil. Pull a 24ft boat almost every weekend, and a 30ft travel trailer in the winter months, other than water pump, plugs, coil packs, and a throttle-body...everything is original!! So, I believe everything that is pointed out in most YouTube videos, is lack of proper maintenance. Would I buy another? Yes, and I am! The 3.5 ecoboost is one of the most technological advanced engines out there! If you take care of it, it will absolutely "haul-the-mail".

I have the 5.0 but I drove a 3.5 yesterday. It’s pretty impressive. Not sure if im ready to do it but it intrigues me. Good explanation of the motor. It explains why the tunes give it so much more horsepower

[Bittahmasta]

This video came up on autoplay and I watched the whole thing due to your A+ presentation style. Good job explaining the technical details and positive disposition.

The coking that you mentioned isn't due to rapid cooling of the turbos. When the engine has been working hard the turbos heat up and when you shut down the engine they get even hotter. The oil that lubricates the turbos stops moving and the excess heat from the engine cooks the oil causing the coking problem.

I have a 2018 F-150 with the 3.5 Eco engine. I grew up with fast cars in the '60s and this engine makes incredible power. My only issue was the valve train had to be built at 55, 000 (under warranty), due to the "death rattle" as I have heard it called, at start up. I purchased the Ford ESP up to 150, 000 for the possible technology problems so, I'm good until then. It pulls my 20 ft. bass boat like it's not ever there. I change the oil every 5000 miles as well, currently 75, 000 miles and counting.

Guys, don't forget to drill a 1/16" hole in the bottom/driver side of your intercooler.
I have a 1st gen, and my valves have been clean for 70k miles since i drilled that hole.
When i cranked her up after drilling the hole, about 6 oz of creamy oil+condensation blew out. Now its just a oil-damp stain on the back of my air dam. No more idle hickups or acceleration choking in wet weather.

[williambragg]

Love my 2013 f150 v6 eco boost have just 113k on it now and it’s doing great. Love my truck.

[georgedrake]

I have a 2.7 ego boost f150 now for 5 years and it still run great never been in the shop yet

The port fuel injection also cleans the back side of the intake valve, solving or delaying the buildup problem with the first gen ecoboost engine.

[lonniehash]

I was an eco boost hater until we bought my wife a 2016 explorer have over 100, 000 miles on it with out one issue made me a believer

[JJJ.]

Early versions of 3.5 didn't have port injection, only direct injection. Early versions without port injection had issues w carbon buildup on valves. Ford addressed by adding port injection on later versions of 3.5
