Truck dealer for 30 years and sold thousands of trucks. Bought a 2022 4x4 crew a couple of weeks ago. Just did a 350 mile round trip to Vegas today pulling a loaded 18' trailer home. After years of selling trucks not easily impressed but this little engine is unbelievable. Cant believe the power and mileage.
LOVE THIS TRUCK!
Very nice!!
Hi all- great to see this video. Bought my 2016 F150 crew cab 2.7 XLT in January 2017 brand new. 280,000 miles later, I can confidently say this 2.7 engine is incredible. Full synthetic oil change every month or so, (6,000 miles). Everything is original besides 2 new AC compressors, 2 years apart. Oil drain pan plug is plastic junk. Might want to consider changing oil drain pan, which is what I did after a leak/scare at 150,000 miles to bypass the plastic drain plug that easily cracks.
Still driving pretty damn close to the day I got her.
Will keep everyone posted :)
Safe travels all
Nice! Thanks for sharing
Update???
Hello Myks,
as a pro mechanic working in DC here is my thoughts,
I originally wasn’t very familiar with the ecoboosts and do at first I just totally ignored them. I already had a 5.0 Mustang so when I started shopping f150s I figured I’d go for the same in the truck. However, inventory issues got me started on looking into the ecoboosts. After taking time to learn about them I ended up being impressed by the 2.7. It’s actually a very heavily built motor. Four bolt mains, compacted graphite iron block (afaik the only production gasoline engine to use it), an aluminum ladder frame block skirt, forged everything (pistons, con rods, crank, and cams) semi-open engine deck as opposed to the open deck 5.0 and 3.5 ecoboost, monolithic head and exhaust manifold and is just physically more compact (which should inherently add strength) with a very high lubricant capacity per displacement (2.22 qts per liter of displacement in a shorter block design vs 1.6 qts per liter in the 5.0, and 1.7 qts per liter in the 3.5 [2.24 qts per liter in the 6.7 powerstroke] ) and overall, much fewer moving parts than the 5.0 V8. In the Gen 2 2018 and up, the engine has port injection to reduce intake valve, spark plug and injector fouling, electronic wastegates as opposed to mechanical, hollow cam shafts which reduce rotating mass, improved throttle response, efficiency, and theoretically put less strain on the timing chain, increasing service life. They also seem stupidly easy to maintain, adopting the top cartridge oil filter, a toolless oil pan plug (similar to the 5.0), easy access valve covers, and just being very compact in the engine compartment so plenty of room to reach around in there. Arguably it should probably be the base engine in the F-250, as it's towing fuel economy is roughly equal, or sometimes better than the 5.0 for the same load, and it just utterly destroys the 5.0 in a truck application with its broad torque curve (the 5.0, is quite peaky) As all direct injection engines go, and even moreso with these as it's forced induction with forged pistons, they do experience a fair amount of crank case intrusion from blow by, increasing fuel dilution of the engine oil. So I’m gonna be changing the oil at around 6500 miles since these days I mainly drive short distances which don't necessarily allow proper warm up of the pistons, so seals will not get an opportunity to optimize. This situation is true for the 5.0 and 3.5 eco as well. Physically, it is the heaviest built engine available for the F-150, betraying the idea that smaller displacement = weaker. The only technical service bulletins that crop up with the2018+ 2.7 are limited lot supply and manufacturing defects, not design issues. So after a lot of studying I may daresay this is the best engine Ford has created in over 40 years. Maybe that's why it's the basis for most of their new product lineup. It's like the 289, they put it in everything.
If this engine will last up to 500k if its maintained properly .
Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge, that is great information!
Man just sold me on the 2.7
I did extensive research before I opted for the 2.7. As impressed as I was, I still had to talk myself out of getting a V8. I was a guinea pig too, because I bought the first year (2015) of the "new generation" F150's as well as the brand new 2.7L Ecoboost. I'm glad I did. 180K miles and not one mechanical failure yet, no warranty repairs, nothing. But I'll always miss that "roaring V8" sound. I have the Corsa Ford Performance Catback Exhaust system, so it does sound pretty bad ass.
I agree 100%
Totally agree but then again I call v8's boat anchors
Thanks for uploading this. I just got a 2.7l 2019 with 58k on it. It's nice to see that it can go past 200k.
Yes indeed!
Love seeing this for my Bronco with the same engine!!!!!
Yes, It has proven to be a reliable engine! thanks for watching
Plus the new 2.7 Is even better
Great video. Makes me happy to see a high mileage 2016. I also have a 2016 2.7 4X4 Screw with 36 gallon fuel tank. I just turned 100K miles and she still drives strong. I typically get between 21-23 mpg city/hwy depending upon air conditioner use. I've used Ford Quicklane every 5-7K miles for a full synthetic oil change and ALL fluids are changed every 50K miles. Top Tier 87 octane as well. Blackstone Labs oil analysis done every 20K miles shows no fuel contamination and very little metal wear. I believe that if you do proper PM over the life of the truck, you'll see this truck traveling well over 3-400K miles. I've spent approx. $6000 in PM with tires, oil changes, fluid flushes, plugs, filters, and had the serpentine belt replaced last week for $94.00 at the Quicklane as well.
Sound like you take very good care Of your truck, it should last you for a long time, thanks for watching
Looking forward to going threw this channel.
2015 2.7 332000
👍
Wow incredible mileage on the 2.7. Did you have an oil catch can on your engine? I have a 2015 2.7 with 64k miles. Thanks
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for video
No problem with my 2018 F-150 2.7 Standard cab Short bed at 38,000 miles except Battery was replaced.
Every 5k = 6 Quarts Mobil 1 and new OEM Filter.
5.9 =0-60 and 14.3 in 1/4
Stock on 93 Octane.
Very nice!
Keep doing video on the truck its good content with that high of mileage it’s interesting. should do a test of its capabilities like a tow test.
Will do, much more coming! Thanks for watching
Had a coil and plug just suddenly go on my 2019 f-150 2.7 recently at 55km but I drive it hard, its so fun haha. Changed the plugs and coil and she runs like a champ again. Zero issues otherwise with regular maintenance, now its time to put some new 285 70 17 ko2s on it!
Good to hear!
One up side of the aluminum bodys 266k miles but you dont see any rust you would never guess it has that many miles just looking at it. I got a 2017 stx 42k miles running great so far
Yes, thankfully those aluminum bodies do not rust. This one hides its miles well. Thanks for watching
I was waiting to see someone post a 2.7 with high milage. I have a 2019 its just breaking 10k I will say that 2.7 towed better In the mountains than my hemi ram did 👍
Thanks for watching, this 2.7 is a surprisingly capable engine! Stay tuned for updates on the project
My dad has 2014 a 3.5 with 186K miles, man loves his truck, zero issues, I have driven my friends 2.7 , we towed 8000lbs, across country, the truck was awesome, did not feel there was anything in the back, that 2.7 is a beast, ran better than a 2015 duramax rental with the same load.
The 2.7 hauls no problem! We have a 2019 2.7 almost 90,000 kms and when the dodge 2500 broke down we thought the towing capacity was 13,000 lbs, and hooked the trailer and mini excavator onto the 2.7 and it hauled no problem. We realized after that we were hauling over with that truck for 3 days, but it never had any issues! Honestly it hauled just as good or better then the 2500 did, and I've never had a 3.5 ecoboost but it probably hauls even better
We did the same good bye 2019 ram
The Ecoboost engines are amazing but you MUST change the oil regularly and use synthetic. If you do that, they will give you hero service. My 3.5 Ecoboost is a monster and tows my RV so great, plus the thing is fast.....very fast. I love mine
I use my 2016 with the tow and payload package to haul my 20’ enclosed race car trailer. 7500 Pounds. The engine is flawless. Tons of power. Much more than I need even in the mountains and gets 11 mpg while towing compared with my 2010 5.4 which got 9 towing the same trailer and car.
That’s cool, thanks for sharing!
Did you have a 3:73 rear end in the 2010?
7500 lbs with an aluminum 1/2 ton?...😂 You are going to kill someone or yourself.
Dam I just got 2020 F150 cre cab 2.7. I am really impressed by the mileage on it
Yeah it can take some miles!!
The OEM shocks were mushy from factory. I upgraded to Bilsteins 5100's. I gotta admit just doing the rear was the best improvement, and cheapest. Truck didnt sway, handled better and got rid of the rear axle hop/jump. I put the front on, went up 1.75" and looks awesome however rides like a tank now....super rough. I think these were valved for the heavier 5.0 but better than wrecking the struts with spacer lifts. I will be getting softer riding tires to help out
Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience. Great suggestions
I have a 2015 F100 with the 3.5 Ecoobost, with just a over 102,000 and it has been the best truck I have ever had.
Nice! You can expect a lot more life out of it!
Good content man! this is the video I am looking for, I'm looking to buy an f150 2.7 as well. I also noticed there is a lot of high mileage 2.7 f150 around. Subscribed to your channel, I am hoping for some more video updates on your F150 when it comes to issues.
Thanks for watching, stay tuned for updates
I bought the truck.. and then I was nervous 🤣 looking on the internet has sold me on my own truck!
Well that’s good!!
I have a 2016 2.7 lariat 113k miles. I seriously beleive I have the best truck out there. 2 wheel drive so its not super tall with regular tires so it works perfect for city life.
Yeah, that 2.7 as a great engine.
Great video, looks to be a reliable truck! This may be an older video but I'm really curious how the truck is doing now? I'm looking at similar generation F150 with the same 2.7 EB engine! Thank you very much!
I only kept it for 5 months then sold it, but it did great while I owned it
@@Myksgarage ah gotcha! Thanks for letting me know!
The Timing Chain is somewhat of a major repair. I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler and I have never had any major repair.
Yes the timing chain is a big repair, mine has been replaced. Have you owned your jeep since new?
I have one with 120k no issues at my job we have some with over 250 no issues
Yeah I believe it! Thanks for sharing
Uh what about 350k? Call us then if it can even make it that far 🤣
How does it idle ? Do you feel any vibrations
@@aidenarkham why wouldn't it be able to?
How often you change oil in it?
I’m right behind you at 252k
How is yours running?
Thanks
Gonna sub for this one I'll be in the market for a new truck and so many of the f150s at my dealers runs this engine. Im not sold on it yet but wanna learn about it.
Thanks for watching, this is my 3rd ecoboost engine in an F150, they have been great engines. I am curious myself to how an engine with this many miles will hold up.
@@Myksgarage yeah im currently driving a 2010 with a 4.6 but in a few years I'll be looking for a new truck. Seems the vast majority on the market run the 2.7
@@TruckingShooter if you go from the 4.6 L to the 2.7 L you will have no regrets! I had a 4.6 L then a 5.0L which now has 450,000 kms on it, and then I got a 2.7 L and I love that truck. It runs and hauls amazing. You will notice a huge difference in power
180K original miles on my 2015 Ford F150 2.7L FX4 and not one mechanical failure yet, knock on wood! Woohoo! I bought it brand new in 2016, even later paid THOUSANDS of dollars extra for the super duper Ford Protect Extended Warranty which carried me through 140K miles and still wasn't able to recoup one dime! Grrr! lol! And there's nobody with a bigger lead foot than mine! lol! Ecoboosts are FUN to drive! I've run AMSOIL Signature Series 5W30 almost from the beginning. The only issues I have with my awesome truck is a minor but unappealing oil leak around oil pan which has that crappy plastic oil drain plug, but I think the oil is coming down from the turbo's. It doesn't leak enough to where I need to add oil between 15K mile oil changes, and it doesn't leak onto the ground. The removeable "skid plate" thingy gets oil soaked over time. I've had to pressure wash it twice now. Not too big of a deal yet, in my opinion. I'm also not happy with the gas mileage, but then again I drive like an idiot, so.... pfft! lol! I'm also currently running heavy 33's (Kendal Klever RT's) with a leveling kit and 1-1/2" wheel spacers, so I'm lucky to get 16 MPG's. But, oh well. I love my truck! One more payment and it's mine. I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. I'll buy a brand new engine if necessary before I'll buy another new truck.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
My 2015 2.7 has 140,000 and the exact same issue with the oil pan since my first oil change which I did 5,000 miles after buying it
@@1986subway The 3.5L Ecoboosts give the 2.7L Ecoboost a bad name, because people don't understand that the 2.7L is an entirely different animal than the 3.5L. I think most people ASSume that they're the same, just come in two sizes. Me personally, I would not buy a 3.5L Ecoboost. If I needed more towing capability, I'd probably just opt for the diesel.
Great video and with many of us with a 2.7, longevity is a regular question in the back of our minds. Did the dealership service the truck with full synthetic or synthetic blend? How frequent was the oil changed?
The records I have don’t show the type of oil, but the oil change interval was between 6,000-8000 miles.
@@Myksgarage - thank you!
I have a 2017 2.7L SCREW currently at 201k bought with 000003.9, oil changed when comp said to, only mechanical failure to this point is the drivers turbo was leaking coolant and 4x4 hubs, hoping to hit 400k before any thing major happens
@@danielpressley3235 - great news. Full synthetic oil or synthetic blend?
Great video! Did they tell you at what mileage he had the timing chains replaced?
Just curious, how much did you buy it for? I'm interested to know how well they hold their value. I've got a '17 4x4 Sport 2.7L with 128K, and just love it!!
I believe I paid $13,000 but that was back in Covid so maybe the same trunk would be a little bit less now
Does anyone know if the new coming Bronco with this v6 2.7 ecoboost have timing belt or timing chain ?
I think they are timing chains
I hate to tell you, but if you bought this from a dealer, it’s not the cheapest one in the country. Private owner is the way to go (or auction if you can). Nonetheless, it’s a beauty!
It was the cheapest I could find when I was looking in 2021
I have a 2019 F150 2.7, 44k miles. I've noticed oil on the front cover below the oil filter housing...particularly around the bolt. Where is this leak coming from? Just the thought about taking it to ford dealer under factory warranty, I may not have my truck for 3 weeks!
Probably best to have the dealer look at if it’s still under factory warranty
There is a TSB on this to get it fixed for free
I just bought a 2015 2.7 with 144k miles. I do notice a shudder issue after i bought it going around 30-50 mph. Im gonna try a transmission flush to see if it helps. Hopefully nothing serious.
Good luck! These are very reliable trucks
Any luck?
Just drain the fluid and add a bottle of Lucas trans additive with the new fluid. That fixes the trans shudder on the 6-speed Ford Edge trans.
Get a tube of "shudder fix" and service the transmission before adding it and problem should be solved
There's a 2018 f150 2.7 eco in my area for sale for 17k with 190k miles 4x4 , it's a great condition, no check engine light , any thoughts?...
That’s a pretty good deal. I sold mine a few months ago for $19k
@@Myksgarage geez 19k out of a almost 300k mile truck?
Any problems with carbon build up or oil pan leaks?
At what mileage were timing chains done?
Yes the oil pan was leaking when I got it, and I fixed it. Timing chains were done at 240,000 miles
Do u know what year 3.5 be had lubricating problems due to not enough oil holes?
Have you noticed any smoke on cold start up?
No I haven't
Is this truck still running good? Im looking at a 2016 with 160k miles for 19,900. How much did you pay?
I paid $13,200 yes still running good.
I am looking at a 2016 2.7 liter tomorrow with 200 000 kilometers.
Any main thing I should be on lookout for?
$19.000
Oil pan leaks are very common and a pain to fix
No transmission problem fixed either ? That's the only thing about Ford is that it seems the transmission doesn't last over150k .I have the same 2016 except a super cab and brown. I have a 106,000 and it runs great still
Transmission has held up great
@@Myksgarage Awesome that's what I want to hear !
I have been around these trucks a lot and the transmissions generally do not have issues. Especially the super duty’s, they can handle a lot of abuse
If you wait until 150,000 mi to change the transmission fluid then you asking for trouble
@@1986subway my dads 2010 never had the trans fluid changed. Has 245k and never had trans issues. Half highway miles half city. The driveshafts on those do have common issues though
iv got 10k miles on my 2021 2.7, iv got a long way to go!
Oh yeah!
For anyone interested it's at 260k miles
What is??
I have 80k miles on my 2016 2.7l
Only thing I’ve changed was plugs at 50k
And tires at 64k
I think these engines just need regular maintenance and they will last
I think these engines just need regular maintenance and they will last quite awhile
any updates on this truck ?
I ended up selling it after owning it for about 4 months total. I'll make an updated video
I can't imagine how many turbos has gone through with that mileage. In my opinion the 2.7 is a good engine, but the turbos that's another story
I believe it was on the original turbos
No disrespect sir, but my f150 2016 2.7 had to replace both turbos at 160k miles, but I didn't got it brand new, I'm more than sure it was on its 2nd or 3rd pair of turbos. The youtube channel is full of f150 owners with failing turbos. It's a common problem specifically for the 2.7
Just got a 2019 2.7 111k and I did some recon into the service of it, I called the ford dealership gave them the vin and the service tech I talked to remembered the truck and let me know it got two brand new turbos 10k miles ago, then the most recent dealership replaced oil pan and the thing runs mint now
is that to be expected? Im an orginal owner of a 2016 2.7 with ~81K miles and havent noticed anything yet
@@Carlos-ps7hb from what I can tell with proper maintenance 100k no problem I’ve been reading some with 200k original turbos. That being said I’ve come across a handful that need turbos replaced around that 100k mark. Mind you this is just forums, online, CZcams + comments etc so take it with a grain of salt. But yea mine had to be replaced right about 100k at dealership via previous owner (corporate from what I can tell)
How much did you pay? If you don’t mind me asking
Stay tuned to the channel, I’ll be doing a video on the cost.
How long can turbos last on that engine?
Not sure, they were just struggling when I got it
Do you know at what time/mileages was the timing chain done?
I don’t, I sold it just a few months after purchasing it and I don’t recall the mileage on the service records
@@Myksgarage thanks a lot for replying! Did you sell it due to issues with the truck or just different reason?
So which is a better engine,3.5 or 2.7?
3.5 is a beast, if you don't tow I'd go for the 2.7
I'm on the fence on trading in my 5.0 Mustang for a 2.7 F-150. I have a family now and can't fit everyone comfortably in my Mustang.
It’s a good truck!
Did you do it?
What's the idle hours?
Last I check engine hours were 7200
Ford replacing older aluminum hoods under warranty due to corrosion under the hood in the seams, yes corrosion with aluminum....
Interesting 🤔
Not a surprise really Debbie; aluminum corrodes, it just doesn't rust.
Did you get that truck from North Dakota? I saw the eide tag on it
Yes I did!
@@Myksgarage I think I even saw this truck on their website. Small world
put some 17in oems on that high mileage truck
Yeah that’s a thought, I had the 20s laying around so that was the deciding factor
hey man interested in buying one of these, how much did you pay for it?
I paid $13,200 for this one
I’m about to buy a 2015 160k on it for 15,000 it’s a extended cab that’s fully loaded leather etc is it worth it?
That's probably a good deal in this market
Ya normally they go for over $22,000
Hows it holding up?
Sold it only after a few months of ownership
@@Myksgarage reason? I'm thinking of getting one soon
Just sold my 2015 with 280k and now I’ve got a 2016 with 218k
Good to hear from another high mileage F-150! Any tips or advice you can share?
@@Myksgarage literally nothing but scheduled maintenance with the recommended products and they will go forever
Well, if it tracks straight, replacing suspension items is not necessary. It's a want and not a need. Just saying.
Yeah good point
Didn’t really say much
