    I watched this video about 9 years ago. I went and bought the first CC 4x4 2011 F150 to hit the lot in my town when they were released. That truck now has 320,000 miles on it and going stronger than the day I bought it. It's been running a livernois tune for years and years without a problem. I'd recommend one to anyone who needs a half ton. It's been used and abused. It's towed well over 100,000 of it's miles with trailers over 12,000 lbs at times. It's a monster. If I didn't need to tow heavier then it would be the only truck I had.

      That’s good to know!! I just picked up a 2020 Raptor. This thing is for sure a beast. I had a 2014 Raptor that I put a 156k Miles on without am problems. This new truck is way way faster, lighter and obviously nicer. It’s great seeing what the new trucks from Ford are capable of. I am looking forward to many miles behind this wheel of this one too.

      That’s so awesome man. What’s your opinion on their newer f150s? I’ve read that their durability is questionable, and you have much more experience than I do with trucks so I’m curious what your thoughts are on the new f150s

      @@thajuiceislooose1183 I don't think there is a bad engine choice available in them. I love a good V8 rumble as much as anyone but I haven't had one in a F150 since I bought that first EcoBoost. My advice to anyone now that's in the market is get the hybrid Powerboost option regardless of what trim level you choose. It's been more convenient than I'd ever imagined. We do lots of quad and SxS riding and now use it as a tow pig over my Superduty when possible. It's so much more convenient than even the quietest generator camping plus it'll run you're house in an emergency. It's the perfect use of electricity in a pickup in my opinion.

    My family and I had a 2003 Ford Expedition (5.4L Triton V-8) and after 14 years and 220,000 miles, we just wanted to replace her. I was hesitant to purchase a replacement expedition due to the Eco-boost being a v-6. I thought, "that's a big vehicle to move with a V-6". So, we did a test drive and oh boy was I wrong. Our 2016 Expedition is outstanding and nobody is ready for the power that it produces. We go to the river, pull our boat and otherwise use it like any other vehicle and whether we're pulling our boat, entering the freeway or just passing another vehicle, we are amazed. We recently took a road trip to Sedona, Az. and I'm not used to driving it since it's my wife's primary vehicle, but this trip I was again reminded what a fantastic handling vehicle our Expedition is. We treat our vehicles well and while we keep them for many year and high miles, we watch as friends replace their Suburban's and Tahoe's at around the 100,000 mile mark because of reliability issues. I don't describe myself as a hater of all others, but I do love my Ford's, including my 2015 Mustang GT. Oh, and I also love Porsche's :).

    I have an 2011 with 60K, I pull a 7,000lb Travel Trailer. Closer to 7500lb when loaded with our stuff. This motor is amazing. When towing the shift points are still around 2500rpm. Feels like it is shifting way to early but it keeps pulling and accelerating with ease. As far as MPG go all 1/2 ton trucks are the same. I just like the fact that this truck does not have to struggle to pull what I need it to. I can sit back and relax while pulling on the highway. Put new plugs in at 45k. Ford did a repair on a cold start rattle issue at 50k. It does what I need it to.

    Ford also does a lot of their testing with van services that go from the Denver or Gunnison to ski resorts. I have been on many trips to ski in Colorado and watched Ford vans sit near redline, fully loaded, all the way up the mountain, and then, all the way down the mountain, at redline, in lower gears, to save the brakes. One van service that I used said that Ford does all of the fluid changes on their vans and gives the vans a new engine and transmission at $150K and the van service then sells that van to a ski service located in the Andes in South America. Ford then disasembles the engine and looks for all of the wear points. Knowing that those motors and transmissions can take that kind of abuse for 150K miles is the one of the reasons that I'm a Ford truck guy.

      I actually looked at the torn-down engine at the Detroit Auto Show, and the intake valves were pretty clean.

Sure there was a recall on two parts on it and Ford replaced the faulty parts relatively quick and for free. I forget what it was but had to do with the braking system if I recall (no pun intended). I STILL own my truck and save for some cosmetic damage this truck still runs like new. I pulled a bucket truck with it, a fully loaded chipper and trailer and even helped pull my friends trailer loaded with 12,000 lbs of scrap iron with this BEAST! I was going to give it to my step-daughter when I passed but after a falling out, the truck is now going to be passed to my fiancee. I recently bought a travel trailer and currently loading it for a move to a new home. Truth be told, I would not buy a new truck. The new auto shut off features of Ford is not the best option in my opinion. Glad my 2011 does not have that feature. Besides the 2 recalls and regular oil changes, air filters, and tires, I have no complaints. I love My (even tho the misses calls it "Hers" lol) Truck! 65k and still going strong!

    My boss have a 2017 V8 silverado, a 2014 Ram 5.7L v8 and a 2012 Ecoboost F-150 him and his wife say the Ford has easily is the best for towing and the only one they’d trust with their Camper on a long trip!

    Strange. I’ve been a professional mechanic for 30 years and I don’t consider myself loyal to any brand of vehicle. They ALL break. That being said I have yet to service an Ecoboost equipped F150 that by 100,000 miles wasn’t either puking oil from the turbos or filling the intakes with engine oil. Snapped or stretched timing chains on earlier models was common too. I don’t mind ; I get paid well to fix vehicles but I would have zero interest in an Ecoboost in a work truck. If a Ford truck was in my purchase plans it’d be an F-250 with a 6.2 gas engine. Every issue that the 5.4 engines had were fixed in the 6.2. Only a very rare valve spring failure is all I have ever seen on them after 300K miles of fleet work truck useage.

      What if it wasn't being used as a work truck or even a daily driver? Found a decent deal on a limited with the gen1 3.5 but the timing chain issues are holding me back.

      Provost,
      Is that what they call someone at a dealership that washes the new trucks in the lot, a professional mechanic?
      I call it BS and he is a troll

      Don't buy high mileage used trucks. Go new, you'll spend close to the same in the long run. Ask me how I know.

      @JasonStaleyFitness Před 4 lety

      @David miorgan no i did not I had the truck for 3 month maintenance kept up and all I'm not going to treat a 30k truck like shit the dealership determined the oil sending unit went out and found metal shavings in the oil, was not my fault but doesn't matter because it has a brand new motor now🤣👍

    This test also shows the the rest of the drive train, tyranny, diff and drive shaft can take a beating too. Before they took the engine out to the Baja. I got a 2015 ecoboost so far its good.
