    Great video. I ordered my 2022 F150 Lariat in December, and it’s being shipped to my dealer now! I got the 2.7EB not so much for the efficiency, but also a few other reliability factors; one that nobody ever seems to mention when comparing this to the 3.5EB is the external water pump. With the 3.5EB, the water pump is inside the cap, so if it starts to weep, you get water in your oil which gets pumped to the turbos and every other place in the engine. With the 2.7EB, the water pump is easily replaceable without removing the front cap, and no real possibility of water contaminating the oil lines exists.
    I’ll be putting a catch can on as well, just to help minimize the likelihood of low-speed preignition which is often thought to be partially caused by blow-by in the PCV system.
    Awesome content! Thank you.

    The block skirt has cross-members built into it for extreme rigidity and smooth performance. I waited several years to see where this motor would fail, but never saw anything that gave me pause. I've had mine three years now and love , love, love it! ZERO turbo lag, and a mountain of torque. Milage can suffer with the 4 wheel version and the STX 20" wheels, combined with a heavy foot. With about the same or more power than a Cleveland 351, I'll take the 16 MPG's!

    I've been researching for a new F150 for a while now. Just can't afford one, but I can dream for free.
    Anyways, I've been that typical "gotta have a V8" guy. Not because that's what a truck should always have, but more so on the topic of less components make the engine more reliable. There are also a few videos out there asking Ford Techs which engine they'd rather have, and the 5.0L always comes out on top. Thankfully, they're starting to ask why. Exhaust note, "because it's a truck", and other menial things mean nothing to me in terms of being a user.
    The folks who have supported the 2.7L have been thorough and I can relate to their usages: Family hauler, weekend projects, occasional tow of a trailer, around town driving, and some highway use. Nothing but good things to say. Then, I've found a few good review videos of the engine, and even in this video, there's the mention of the cast exhaust manifolds, which I think is not only clever, but makes everything a bit more reliable.
    If you're like me, wanting a truck that'll haul your family around, pick up stuff at Lowe's, haul a small trailer very rarely (although the truck is more than capable of pulling a decent sized travel trailer camper), this engine seems to be the best fit for all. Even better that it's the standard option on the Lariat trims.

      TFL actually hauled max tow rating on the 2.7 (and 3.5 because they have identical tow ratings) up the IKE and it didn't break a sweat, and, actually got up the IKE a few seconds quicker than the 3.5. probably because it doesn't need to suck in so much air to work because lower displacement up at 10-11K feet. It also gives you peak torque sooner and keeps it up longer than both 3.5 and 5.0... It's a stout little engine that has more bite than bark. And I'm a V8 only kind of guy but the 2.7 seems to break that mold a bit.

    I can't see why they won't make a 3.5 like this. The name of the game is efficiency and they've achieved 90% of the capability of the 3.5 with the 2.7 in a compact form factor. This would absolutely shit all over everything on the market other than heavy duty diesels if they did it with the 3.5. water-cooled exhaust, dual injection, increased compression and such... It's not like the 2.7 is revolutionary step, more of an evolution from the original ecoboost design but better, and made from the get go to be turbocharged.

    I have the 2018 2.7L ecoboost and I love it. Almost bought a catch can but after much research, seemed unnecessary with the direct and multi port injectors. Only thing negative is I can get a little heat soak when I first drive it which causes a little power loss with the turbo lag. Very nice looking trucks! Also found if you flash your high beams you can get the mileage on your dash without having to use the keys. Comes in handy during oil changes.

    Great video dude. I kind of wish I saw this before getting my 3.5. In my mind I just wanted the 3.5 for more power. I didn't realize the cam phaser issue before buying it. Based on your break down of the turbos/manifold and cooling, it seems like the turbos were an after thought on the 3.5. And then they built the 2.7 with the intention of turbos.

      Hey Jerry, I’ve had the 2.7 for two and a half years now. Similar to you, I have (well had) a short commute to work and haven’t had any issues. The key thing with engines of any kind are heat cycles, not distance. So the life of an engine is more counted by every time it goes from cold, to hot. With the dual fuel delivery system the carbon buildup is not an issue as much with a short heat cycle.
      I always make a point on weekends at least once a month to get the truck up to temp while doing errands and do a “launch”. So finding an on ramp, going slow, then revving the engine out to high rpm. Once at high way speeds I put it in manual mode to keep rpm high for a little bit and just make sure I’ve got a lot of pressure going through the system. This should help with burning off any buildup and make sure all gaskets and things see top operating pressures.
      These eco-boosts have a plastic variable pressure relief valve that is computer controlled. In Eco mode they do a good job of making the engine feel naturally aspirated and deliver smooth power. But when you put your foot down, it really builds the boost. Feels like a sports car and the torque delivery is amazing. It’s just important to exercise the system a make sure it sees the full spectrum of driving possibilities. At least in my opinion.
      The choice between 2.7 and 5.0 is all about power delivery. If you want torque at low RPM and be able to drive kind of like a diesel then get the 2.7. If you like to rev out to get your power then get the 5.0. Both powertrains when maintained properly should get 250k miles easy. The weak link in my opinion is the 10 speed transmission which both have. In normal mode it can’t make up its mind on what to do.. so just use the mode selector to tell it what you’re doing and it seems to operate better and not search for gears or shift at weird points you don’t expect.

    I happen to see a video of a tear down of this particular engine and there’s one thing that struck me that I definitely didn’t like in the timing chain area they’re actually using a belt that actually dips down into the oil pan which to me I wouldn’t know why you would want a belt in an oil pan it makes no sense. The motor had 96,000 miles and when they checked his belt you can see that it was already cracking all up getting ready to give out.  another thing is is that this particular engine has oil pan leaks.

    Only issues with the 2.7L are : the first generation had oil pan leaks, a few minor turbo issues with excessive exhaust smoke and a batch of em had some mis-machined heads which lead to some recalls. The second generation 2.7L has had EGR cooler failures. While this may sound like a lot, it’s only a tiny percentage of the 2.7’s out there. It is a dependable engine and has less issues than the 3.5EB

Stay away from excessive tuning. Change oil every 4k miles or so with a good quality oil. And it should be a winner over the long haul. you will probably have a few recalls, because lets face it.

    • @bcfmef

      Tim Schultes to be honest , the 2.7 is probably Fords most reliable ecoboost engine. Nothing wrong putting a tune on one. Just don’t get crazy with it . As far as the 900,000 sales figure goes. I believe Fords long streak is in grave danger of losing it. The Corona virus and GMs huge discounts have nearly equaled the sales figures

      @timschultes6467 Před 3 lety +3

      Brian F yes I agree with you because when I bought my truck they weren’t discounting them as much as they usually do due to inventory shortages. Not a fan of GM or Ram I think the Chevy is very ugly looking the GMC is the better of the GM. As far as RAM goes it’s a beautiful truck but built by Fiat Chrysler which in my opinion is trash. I think the ford with the fully boxed steel frame and their long history of trucks that are made for the job site will prevail in the end. I do believe they all have gotten way to expensive for the average working American like myself. That’s why I had to get an STX because the other models are so damn expensive I don’t know how people do it.
