Which F-150 Engine Would a Technician Pick? *2023*

Ford Motor Company came out with the all new F-150 for the 2021 model year. Now that it has been in production for a few years, we are here in Pell City to ask our technicians which engine they would choose if they were buying a brand new F-150! So out of the 3.3L, 2.7L EcoBoost, 5.0L, 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.5L PowerBoost, and High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost which one will they choose?
Out of all the options, a lot of the techs we're saying the 5.0L Engine. Does this mean that the other engines are bad? No but it is interesting to see the opinions of people who are working on these engines on a daily basis.

I bought my whipple from TC customs. So obviously my answer is call Colton and order a whipple for your 5.0 and hurt some trx feelings

[markcarraway]

I just bought a 2023 F150 Platinum and a 2023 F150 Tremor. Both have the 5.0's and my Platinum has the Whipple. I did the install myself. I am a retired Ford Senior Master technician that now teaches automotive technology at Lone Star College here in Conroe Texas. I waited 27 years to buy a new vehicle (my last new vehicle was a 1st gen Lightning) and somehow my wife let me get two!!! God is good and life is good! Great video sir.

Personally after owning 3.5, 5.0 and a 2.7. I like all but I think the most versatile engine is the 2.7. Reasonably good power. Can still tow, if properly equipped, and it gets great gas mileage. The other 2 were also good engines, the 2.7 just meets all my needs.

[mcmuskie]

I have the 3.5 my son has the 5.0
We often meet at lights, he’s in my rear view each and every time, love my 3.5 Twin Turbo.
I over maintain everything I own and have no issues.

I have a 15’ 2.7 with 80k mi. Pulled heavy trailers no problem. So far no engine failure. Changed plugs at 75k and all still looked real gd. I’m just thankful that we have a gd variety of motors to choose from.

[danielbremner]

I can vouch for 5.0 reliability! My 2015 has 295K miles on it and counting :)

[coreymorrow]

I currently have a 2022 5.0 with 16500 miles and ordered it with 3.73 gears, I love everything about it and my current mpg 19.3 overall since the day I drove off the dealer lot. Considering I have driven the same route and style of driving for well over 30 years it well exceeds my previous Hemi of 15.5 mpg and silverado's 5.3 of 17 mpg . Love the coyote!

I have a 2020 5.0. I’m pretty happy with it. Not a huge fan of the transmission but it’s fine. I’m glad I got in before the cylinder deactivation.

[jasonbrushett]

I have had the 2.7 and a couple of 3.5's, the 2.7 was absolutely amazing given it's size.I'm not a v8 guy so I think if buying new the 2.7 for me, although that PowerBoost impresses me as well

[truthhurts]

I like the 6.2 Boss motor in my 2011 Raptor. Lots of power, loves to be tuned and has incredible acceleration.

[JM-fbkz]

I have a 22’ Space White XLT with the 5.0. It is my pride and joy. So glad I chose that motor.

[trackpackgt]

I never wanted a 2.7 ecoboost because i thought trucks had to have V8s lol but i ran across the perfect truck great price low miles with a 2.7 so i researched them and bought it and could not be happier!!! What I think is a lot of guys like me are reluctant to go with such a small displacement motor and we're all V8 guys but after driving that 2.7 it'll Stomp most V8 it will even walk a coyote for a few block. Crazy these small displacement turbo motors are making more torque and horsepower than the V8s of long ago.

[williamburk]

I've got a 21 5.0L with 3.73 gears. It is the most fun truck to drive that I've ever owned. I put a Borla S-Type on it and the character and feedback I get out of the V8 with that exhaust system is amazing with ZERO drone. I love the 5.0L V8 performance and sound!

[Ahmad-ywhl]

I will get the 3.5 EcoBoost all day long! It is an amazing engine & it is very reliable.

[nordicheat]

I would like the 5.0. I have the 2.7 currently. Had a 4.6 before that.
I’ve come to appreciate the quiet after having it for 3 years.

[jeffdysert]

5.0 all the way. I have a 2013 with 180, 00+ miles. Very dependable and bulletproof if maintained properly. Plenty of power and still over 18mpg running 80 down the interstate.

[johnd]

351k miles on my 2015 F150 with the Coyote 5.0 V8... Legit nothing but a couple of tune-ups and oil changes since new. Still running the original coil packs, alternator, A/C system, and belts/hoses. It doesn't burn oil, and still has as much power as the day it came new off the lot from Davis Ford Sales in Fulton, Ms! LOVE my F150 V8!

[mpeugeot]

With 250k miles on my 1st gen 3.5 ecoboost (2011 F-150), I feel like it's plenty reliable. It's got plenty of power and it's been bulletproof! My 2021 Bronco 2.7 has 80k miles on it, totally reliable. Without a supercharger, the 5.0 gets dusted by the 3.5 ecoboost.

I pulled my turbos at 230k, to replace an exhaust gasket, and they looked damn near new.

[percarlson]

I have the 5.0 F150 2021, so I agree with most of the service dep.👍

[mcgubber]

Wow hands down everyone’s wanting the legendary 5.0
