6.4 Powerstroke was worse though :/ And the 2005-2007 6.0s had way less issues. My first truck was a 6.0 and I loved it and had no issues at all. It still runs today at 227k miles stock with just an exhaust and a *cough* egr.. removal *cough*
There all good motors just there’s stupid kids who like to beat on the motor road coal like if theres no tomorrow and do burnouts and then they ask themselves man this motor sucks 😂🙄
My friend bought one with 190,000 on it and it was never beat on an old guy owned it the cleanest truck I've ever seen but the turbo went bad lifter went bad head gasket and now it makes a loud squeaking from the engine but bot the belt
I'm with ya, we've had the same 6.0 in our family since new. Was my grandpas, then mine, now its my brothers. 160k miles and the only issues have been 3 injectors, egr cooler that was fixed when deleted and a FICM. Other than that its been an extremely reliable truck. I would 100% say the 6.4 is worse. They have the same issues but end up significantly worse as its a much more complex motor.
I KNOW! I hate the hate on the engine. The idiots expect to run the shit outta a truck and expect it to be fine. I have a 06 f250 6.0 and it’s ran GREAT! With 190k miles, it’s only needed a oil hose! That’s it! I’ve ran it hard too! I haven’t even bulletproofed it and it’s been an amazing truck. Fuck the haters and keep on living the 6.0! (Ps the 6.4 sucks)
The 6.4 was a great and really strong motor, the emissions killed them, if you find a low mile one or one that was deleted very soon in its life it will run forever
Just a pretty piss poor attempt all around. Explorers and h3s? Why stop there? How about 4 runners or rav 4s? Those little blazers or jimmys ? Caravans?
not only that but its actually a really reliable truck, i'm the original owner and it still runs great after 17 years, it only looks ugly stock bc of the rake it has.
They also forgot to mention that the spark plug ejection was primarily in the 10th gens, but even then, the problem can be avoided if a little extra care is taken when replacing the spark plugs. With the 11th gens, the spark plugs are known to get stuck in the head and break because of a stupid 2 piece design Ford decided was a good idea to try.
Luckily they fixed that design and now they really arent that bad, just gotta make sure your oil changes are up to snuff, also do a quality timing job and throw a high volume oil pump in her and you are golden.

The problem with triton motor didn't really happened until they went to the two piece spark plugs in 05 and when went to 3 valve engines. When the 3 valve came in is were you run into timing chains cam phaser. Eco-boost is also plagued by the same issues. 5.4 were worst then 4.6 to a point. But also remember those fun exhaust manifold to do even the v10 have problems. They are to restricted for those engines.
yea, the 97-03 F150's are some of the most reliable trucks fords ever made. The 4.6 is literally bulletproof and the 2V 5.4 is a great motor as long as you do the plugs on time or they like to seize to the heads. But I see high mileage 2v 5.4's all the time on Marketplace.
We have both a 03 and 06 f150 with tritons and they both have dog shit reliability. The 02 we bought with a new motor with 30k miles and still is messing up and the 06 grenades more timing chain tensioners than any other truck on earth.
@@theghost8505 I have a buddy who got a 4.6 brand spanking new in 2001 and he drove state to state for a living it is still being used to this day with over 147.789.452 miles on it to be exact so basically over 1.4 million miles on it
Judging by your profile picture I take it your Ford fan I love words as well I’m also a Toyota fan but my first truck was a Ford A 03 F150 with a 5.4 L Triton it has a 6 inch lift upgraded exhaust and that was a great truck for me for first truck and I have to say though And the only major thing I fixed was the alternator and the AC I didn’t do the AC myself but I did the alternator and it wasn’t hard at all I say older forwards are better in my opinion simply because they’re easier to work on if you’re a little bit mechanically inclined and that’s why I told people if you’re going to go ford go older
Can confirm. I’ve spent approximately $20,000 give or take a couple thousand on my 05 f150. But it now has upgraded parts to bulletproof the engine, rebuilt the transmission and gon through the drivetrain to prevent future problems.
The parts cost way more than Chevy and allot less made. Better quality you pay for. That being said I’m a Chevy guy I have an 08 gmc I’m keeping for life . I however got a 97 manual f150 with 100xxx for 3k and dumped new motor and rebuilt front end and trans. Why? Because I wanted a f150 built how I wanted and I’ll have 18,500 into a basically new truck with old retro shell and booming sound system and a manual trans. Couldn’t buy that from ford if you tried. Sad really.
It’s not bias if you can back it up, Chevy stuck with the pushrod V8 for what some people thought was too long and they made the best known one because they were stubborn and wanted to prove a point, and even in the small size pickup line up chevy for the most part did a good job until they ditched the V6 4.3 and switched to the I5 as the “big” engine option due to having to sell out some names in their parts bin, currently GM is kind of cheating out until you get into heavy duty pickups though and most 1500s are luxury vehicles with a pickup bed nowadays
2nd gen are a bad ass truck don’t get me wrong but have a shit load of problems Owned 3 and all three had loads of problems I believe 6.0 is better have had a few and all are very good especially after 05 they were quite reliable if you took of the EGR and didn’t run crazy tunes or HP on stock headgaskets
The 5.4s had the issue of spitting out spark plugs from 99 to 03. After that ford overengineered the problem so from 03 up the plugs were difficult to remove because ford had lots of threads
My grandfather has a 2003 F150 with the 5.8 in it and it's a great truck. Never had an issue and hes around 180k miles. But its babied majorly. Also I want a 2nd gen Cummins but i have that struggle with ragged out ones in my area with no worth left in it. And a 2005 and 2006 6.0 was one of my dream trucks but I've heard horror stories
I have a crown vic with a 4.6, its never let me down but I did do the intake manifold swap to an upgraded aluminum one after the thermostat housing cracked on the original
10th and 11th gen f150s most common failures were the transmissions. Most common issue for the motors were the fuel modules, manifolds and occasionally spark plugs since most ppl didn’t change them in those
My dad has a 05 F-150 with the 5.4, no issues with anything. Even after 200k miles and 2 car accidents that totaled both of the cars that hit him (he only had to replace the push bar, no damage to the truck besides a broken headlight). Oh and knowing 7 6.0l powerstroke owners, no issues.
I own 2 second gens though 😬😭 I still love mine though and i wouldn't get rid of em ever imma sucker for second gens too they just look so good in my opinion
@@qwyntonbulmer2668 damn. I might buy me a second gen in the future. Probably not a V10 though as I would like a 360 or a 318. my complaints about the truck at all?
I was kind of dumb and just eager to own my own truck, so I found exactly the style I was looking for on craigslist, a white 1986 (7th gen bullnose) F250 Lariat SuperCab with a long bed for 11k. It's super clean inside and out, RWD and has the 7.3 IDI, which I didn't really mind. I drove it perfectly fine for about a week, before I learned the previous owner must've driven it without oil for extended periods of time. The whole block was warped and when the pump blew I had to rip the whole engine out and put a new one in with a Banks turbo for 5k. It really put a dent in my savings, but I'm starting to recover. When I have the extra money down the road I want to put running boards, a 3" body lift (I think they work well on OBS') and black AM Baja's (16x10 -25) wrapped in 235/85 Falken Wildpeaks.
I just got a 5 speed manual 2nd gen Cummins that is stock as hell with almost no rust at all and I’m in the rust belt! Idk if my truck applies to this list
It doesn’t lol they’re really good trucks. U CANNOT beat a Cummins. They hold their value really good better than most trucks. Transmission are the only weak area and that can be solved by either getting a manual or building the auto. They can be rusty yea but that comes with age. But in the end it’s all worth it because u have a badass diesel that’s fun as hell, looks amazing and sounds like angels singing.
I can confirm this, had a 5.4 triton 99 f250 as my first truck and threw two spark plugs. Sold it for the same price I paid less than a month before the engine blew up (not intentional)
Don't forget the second gen 24valve cummins also had a line of bad blocks manufactured in Brazil that would break do to the engine heat over time. The tall tale sign of this is the exhaust manifold would crack and then a few months later a large crack in the block would form. Me and my uncle had to fully build an engine for it because that happened and cummins even said the Brazilian blocks are junk. Then four years ago we swapped the original 5-speed out for an aftermarket 6-speed which this past year we blew out hauling a boat since the transmission was as basic as can be but the engine was bulked up.
My dad has a 2001 f-150 and multiple times you would go to start it and you’d hear pow and it would blow the spark plug then it would shoot air out the cylinder and sound like a tractor
@@jonathancourtney9514 not if you wanna remain emissions compliant anyway. If you're ok with doing a full emissions delete on a 6.4 then it'll last forever. But they're such a pain in the ass to work on that a power stroke dedicated shop won't work on them anymore.
first truck: 2002 ford f150 with a 4.6L 16V with 203k miles. I've driven it 12k miles and haven't been nice at all to it and I haven't had any problems so far. the spark plug issue depends on the year, size of the engine, engine # of valves, and engine manufactured location. I think i got the one year 4.6L with the good # of valves and the Windsor engine which is the slightly better version. I've mainly only heard the spark plug problem in the 5.4L and 3 valves. still a great truck though. only time will tell.
I own a 05 f150 4.6 and never had the spark plug issue and ive had a 04 mustang 4.6 same motor, never has the issue either and never heard if that issue
People love to run their engine 50k past scheduled maintenance and then complain when something goes wrong. If you take care of your equipment, it takes care of you.
I had a 2000 Ford Expedition with the 5.4 and it blew out 6 of the 8 plugs over the coarse of its life. Not to mention that it was a pain to re-tap and thread the 4 rear spark plug holes.
Well after going down the ford,Dodge and Chevy road and now owning two Toyota’s 2013 RAV4 and a 2015 Tundra V8. NOT ONE PROBLEM. I can’t say this about the other trucks I’ve had. Tundra’s are built in Texas.
I'm very surprised about the f150. Thought those engines were reliable. But damn spark plugs are important. I remember Fueller made a video on the 6.0 powerstroke. Not the best engine. A lot of guys had that in the custom offsets team. Not surprised at the explorer, dodge and Hummer.
I loved my H3 Alpha "5.3 V8". Very rare. Only made a few hundred, 2010 year only. Interior was garbage, but it was a good truck. Leveled on 33's and the CAI and tuner from a silverado worked on it.
The 2nd Gen Ram never came with a crew cab. The red truck you showed was a custom job. You are right about the bro tax though. Gotta get a 6 speed trans.
it will be mine when i’m older if we’re getting technical. it rolled into my uncles driveway one day. it was an old mans truck and it quit on him. 600 bucks. got a parts truck for 350 for the motor and we’re good to go.
My 2001 Cummins has 347k miles and 0 blow by. She’s an nv4500 truck and I have yet to lose 5th gear. She’s minty and I love it. Also the 6.0s are only good if you build them
@@guyontheinternet8891 couldn’t agree more I have friends that drive Ford Expeditions and I call them trucks and people say “what truck?” I seem to be the only one that understands that that is a re-bodied F150. People tell me if it doesn’t have a bed it isn’t a truck. I can’t handle that! The ford super duty’s and Silverados are offered without boxes from the factory! Are they trucks? Yes! Are peters trucks? Hell yeah! They don’t have boxes but they are trucks!
Third! Love the video. number 2 hurt but is so true I love my second gen dodge but I was lucky enough to get mine cheap second owner and its not a diesel but dodge transmission are notorious shit boxes, well at least the 46re automatic. That some genius at said "huh I think this will work, I mean the 3.9 magnum and 5.9 magnum bell housing is the same, Yes it will work" that jackass failed to recognize the torque difference in them two motors. Don't get me wrong I love my truck I have 204k miles on it and it hasn't let me down, but I'd be fucking fool not to recognize the problems that can and will arise with these trucks
Yea you can tell when they were talking about the f150s and the 4.6 having spark plug ejection problems it was only in the 5.4 first off and then they fixed it after the first 3 model years because it didn’t have enough spark plug threads and they were aluminum so they stripped easy but they added more and made it not aluminum in 2003 so you can tell they aren’t doing their research here
So here's the breakdown with the 4.6 and 5.4 the 4.6 2v comes from the 10th gen all the way to about 2005 then they changed to 3v but didnt shoot plugs don't k ow where that came from the 5.4 2v was also fine didnt shoot plugs but had a timing chain know to fail after 230k ish but the 2v never shot plugs only the 3v did it was because ford didnt drill the hole out enough only drilling out 4 threads instead of 8 threads that a spark plug has
I'd definitely say this list is spot on. I owned an 11th Gen F150 with a 5.4, paid more than double the purchase price in repairs over two years, and it still needed a whole new top and front end of the engine (about 8k from the shop) when I finally got rid of it. Literally the reason why the "lifted Ford" stereotype exists.
I’m young, stupid and uneducated and I got myself a 12 Silverado for 18k 2 months ago I am now having a few minor issues and I’m afraid things could get worse 😎😎😎✅💯 Things are good lmao
Really simple and cheap trucks to fix shouldn't be a disaster.. I mean a chevy engine swap is close to same price as replacing fuel injectors for a Cummins.
I like how the 11th gen f150 in there other video was rated in the top 5 best beginner trucks to buy lmao the 5.4 3v found in the 2004-2010 f150s did not have the spark plug issue that was the 2v's only bad thing about a 3v is the cam phasers
As long as you know how to use a torque wrench the spark plugs are fine at least on the 2 valve 5.4 triton. I only did a timing chain on my truck and it’s been fine at now almost 200k miles
Funny that you mentioned the 6.0 power stroke, we just finished rebuilding my dad's engine today, it doesn't even have 100k miles yet, still a beautiful truck tho
i literally guessed this entire list (out if order) except the h3, didnt expect that to be on the list. also im pretty sure EVERYbody knew what was #1😂😂
The 10th and 11th gen F-150s are very reliable if properly maintained. I have 3 of them and no sparkplug issues. All original engines. 1. 2007 F-150 5.4 - 312,000 trans rebuilt at 275,000 always towed a trailer and 8,800 lb rv 2. 2003 F-150 4.6 - 261,000 all original 3. 2007 F-150 5.4 - 225,000 reverse went out at 200,000 backing up a trailer
I owned a 98 150 with a 4.6 and currently own a 05 150 with a 5.4. The 4.6 gave me no problems, Sold it at 230,000 miles. The 5.4 I think it's starting the tick and it's a Ford reman. Melling came out with an upgraded oil pump 2 years ago to fix the 5.4's problems. Ibwill see how this goes lol
I’m sorry but I got to defend a 10th gen here. Yes they may spit out plugs, but there’s a kit called cal van that is an amazing kit to get. It’s all cut and dry on how to use it. I’ve had one spit out on me and I bought this kit and decided to do all 8 right away and now I just fixed the problem permanently for 200$. Other than that these truck will go on for a long long time and are super reliable. Mines never left me stranded, no matter what happened it’s always made it home. That’s because the only thing that’s happened was a spark plug got ejected LOL
Ford triton spark plug problems is mainly with the first generation of triton heads, there wasn’t enough threads in the heads to keep spark plugs in the head, they’d seize and out goes the plug, later trucks can have spark plugs stick, but if you stick a bit of copper anti seize on the threads you are good
Wish this video came out may 2019. I bought a 06 6.0 f350 with 309k. Only 312k on it now and I’ve replaced egr valve, 8 injectors, oil cooler, egr cooler, head gaskets and head studs. Running good now tho...
I have a 2nd gen cummins that my great grandpa bought new, after he passed away my grandpa had it for some time and I finally bought it from him and the truck is in great condition. No engine or transmission problems ever and it only has 135,000 miles on the truck. I’m keeping this truck in my family till I die 😂
My family has owned 3 10th/11th gen fords. One came from the rust belt and had surface rust on the frame but nothing structural and almost none on the body. It had a 4.6 and ran insanely great at 200k miles. The other two were 5.4 but different models of 5.4. One was the older 5.4 which we did have spark plug issues with. The newer 5.4 hasn't given us any problems. They are great trucks. With that being said, they can be a gamble for the reasons stated in the video.
The first year of the 11th gen (2004) used the 2v 4.6 after they used the 3v 4.6 the 2v is great engine and i know the spark plugs were an issue but the 3v had much more problems then the 2v i own a 2v

The problem with triton motor didn't really happened until they went to the two piece spark plugs in 05 and when went to 3 valve engines. When the 3 valve came in is were you run into timing chains cam phaser. Eco-boost is also plagued by the same issues. 5.4 were worst then 4.6 to a point. But also remember those fun exhaust manifold to do even the v10 have problems. They are to restricted for those engines.
The 4.6 is a good motor without problems
yea, the 97-03 F150's are some of the most reliable trucks fords ever made. The 4.6 is literally bulletproof and the 2V 5.4 is a great motor as long as you do the plugs on time or they like to seize to the heads. But I see high mileage 2v 5.4's all the time on Marketplace.
We have both a 03 and 06 f150 with tritons and they both have dog shit reliability. The 02 we bought with a new motor with 30k miles and still is messing up and the 06 grenades more timing chain tensioners than any other truck on earth.
My 01 has the same plug problem.
@@theghost8505 I have a buddy who got a 4.6 brand spanking new in 2001 and he drove state to state for a living it is still being used to this day with over 147.789.452 miles on it to be exact so basically over 1.4 million miles on it
This list could have been better.
Judging by your profile picture I take it your Ford fan I love words as well I’m also a Toyota fan but my first truck was a Ford A 03 F150 with a 5.4 L Triton it has a 6 inch lift upgraded exhaust and that was a great truck for me for first truck and I have to say though And the only major thing I fixed was the alternator and the AC I didn’t do the AC myself but I did the alternator and it wasn’t hard at all I say older forwards are better in my opinion simply because they’re easier to work on if you’re a little bit mechanically inclined and that’s why I told people if you’re going to go ford go older
My list is better
@@theejoeylee no its not 🤣 you put a Ranger on there. Wich is a damn good truck. Everything else is sorta fine
@@thatmarred_mustang Some can be, they are just small, gutless, and get alot of crap.
I agree. I feel like they're basing the worst trucks on if multiple companies mass produce lift kits.
BS, I got one of them there second gens. Plus, my uncle's third grade teachers gardner's nephew had one as well
Can confirm. I’ve spent approximately $20,000 give or take a couple thousand on my 05 f150. But it now has upgraded parts to bulletproof the engine, rebuilt the transmission and gon through the drivetrain to prevent future problems.
Ouch.. sorry man could have got two 2010 Chevys
Bro.20,000 on a 05 f150 💀you paid to fix fords mistake man. I would go around telling that to people 🤣
The parts cost way more than Chevy and allot less made. Better quality you pay for. That being said I’m a Chevy guy I have an 08 gmc I’m keeping for life . I however got a 97 manual f150 with 100xxx for 3k and dumped new motor and rebuilt front end and trans. Why? Because I wanted a f150 built how I wanted and I’ll have 18,500 into a basically new truck with old retro shell and booming sound system and a manual trans. Couldn’t buy that from ford if you tried. Sad really.
My dad has 3 2nd gens and only had to replace one of them because the previous owner didn’t take care of the truck
The bias on Chevys end on here. Let’s not talk about the Silverado’s problems EVER. Like you’d swear they are payed by them.
Well it’s not on there because Chevy has only one bad truck its the Colorado
Also GM owns hummer
It’s not bias if you can back it up, Chevy stuck with the pushrod V8 for what some people thought was too long and they made the best known one because they were stubborn and wanted to prove a point, and even in the small size pickup line up chevy for the most part did a good job until they ditched the V6 4.3 and switched to the I5 as the “big” engine option due to having to sell out some names in their parts bin, currently GM is kind of cheating out until you get into heavy duty pickups though and most 1500s are luxury vehicles with a pickup bed nowadays

He quit
Really?
2nd gen are a bad ass truck don’t get me wrong but have a shit load of problems Owned 3 and all three had loads of problems I believe 6.0 is better have had a few and all are very good especially after 05 they were quite reliable if you took of the EGR and didn’t run crazy tunes or HP on stock headgaskets
@@officiallylifted7538 If he did i don't blame him
Dude 2nd gens are shit boxes
I own 2 second gen dodges both of which still have the factory trans with no issues. I wouldn’t replace either of them with anything you’d offer me
Keep the series going. Worst trucks that hold there value
The 5.4s had the issue of spitting out spark plugs from 99 to 03. After that ford overengineered the problem so from 03 up the plugs were difficult to remove because ford had lots of threads
The 2nd gen dodge trucks did not come from the factory with crew cabs. Any 2nd gen dodge crew cab you see was custom built
they did, most are in mexico or very very hard to find. super rare
brian correct, but sadly not in the US😕
The 01 Ford F-150 my dad has had it since it came out and it’s fine runs good only thing we’ve had to do is fix the 4wd shaft
No way a 2nd gen should be on this list.
Agreed
Agreed lol
Just cuz the engines good doesn’t mean the entire truck is fam
I love the 2nd gens but the motors the only reliable thing about them 😂
@@JoseSanchez-lo4vc indeed
So just ignore the GM and the 5.3 with AFM that destroys the engine and doesn’t improve fuel economy at all.
My buddy had his Ford shoot a plug through the hood. We still laugh about it.
My grandfather has a 2003 F150 with the 5.8 in it and it's a great truck. Never had an issue and hes around 180k miles. But its babied majorly. Also I want a 2nd gen Cummins but i have that struggle with ragged out ones in my area with no worth left in it. And a 2005 and 2006 6.0 was one of my dream trucks but I've heard horror stories
I have a crown vic with a 4.6, its never let me down but I did do the intake manifold swap to an upgraded aluminum one after the thermostat housing cracked on the original
I’ve got a 4.2L v6 10th gen f150. She runs like an absolute boss! I keep the oil changed regularly and all fluids stable and I haven’t had an issue
The 6.0 is on the best trucks to buy and the worst. Hmm... one I believe more
I love my 6.0! 😎
@@Doom6.0 same
Lol so is the 11th gen f150
If you know what your doing on a 6.0... best truck to buy... if you don’t know what your doing... worst truck 😂
10th and 11th gen f150s most common failures were the transmissions. Most common issue for the motors were the fuel modules, manifolds and occasionally spark plugs since most ppl didn’t change them in those
Buys 10th gen f150. Very proud. Gets on TH-cam to watch custom offsets. "Coming in at 3......." silently crys😔😔
Me too man, me too
1994 Chevy 1500. I went through 3 transmissions all covered under warranty. Dumped it after the 3rd swap.
bad luck?
Due to the 4l60 electronic shift solenoid design released at this time.
The 4.6 engine is a great motor, 5.4 is good as long as you keep up on maintenance.
My dad has a 05 F-150 with the 5.4, no issues with anything. Even after 200k miles and 2 car accidents that totaled both of the cars that hit him (he only had to replace the push bar, no damage to the truck besides a broken headlight). Oh and knowing 7 6.0l powerstroke owners, no issues.
I’ve shot a spark plug out of my F150, it scared the living hell
Out of me.
I own 2 second gens though 😬😭 I still love mine though and i wouldn't get rid of em ever imma sucker for second gens too they just look so good in my opinion

I was kind of dumb and just eager to own my own truck, so I found exactly the style I was looking for on craigslist, a white 1986 (7th gen bullnose) F250 Lariat SuperCab with a long bed for 11k. It's super clean inside and out, RWD and has the 7.3 IDI, which I didn't really mind. I drove it perfectly fine for about a week, before I learned the previous owner must've driven it without oil for extended periods of time. The whole block was warped and when the pump blew I had to rip the whole engine out and put a new one in with a Banks turbo for 5k. It really put a dent in my savings, but I'm starting to recover. When I have the extra money down the road I want to put running boards, a 3" body lift (I think they work well on OBS') and black AM Baja's (16x10 -25) wrapped in 235/85 Falken Wildpeaks.
I just got a 5 speed manual 2nd gen Cummins that is stock as hell with almost no rust at all and I’m in the rust belt! Idk if my truck applies to this list
It doesn’t lol they’re really good trucks. U CANNOT beat a Cummins. They hold their value really good better than most trucks. Transmission are the only weak area and that can be solved by either getting a manual or building the auto.
They can be rusty yea but that comes with age. But in the end it’s all worth it because u have a badass diesel that’s fun as hell, looks amazing and sounds like angels singing.
Make sure to sell it for twice of what u got it for
He litterally said there would be exceptions
@@jonathansalazar125 but with the 2nd gen, most are great, the exceptions are the ones with problems from what ive seen.
I can confirm this, had a 5.4 triton 99 f250 as my first truck and threw two spark plugs. Sold it for the same price I paid less than a month before the engine blew up (not intentional)
i am very happy to see my truck ain't in the list, great video
Same here 2001 silverado
Don't forget the second gen 24valve cummins also had a line of bad blocks manufactured in Brazil that would break do to the engine heat over time. The tall tale sign of this is the exhaust manifold would crack and then a few months later a large crack in the block would form. Me and my uncle had to fully build an engine for it because that happened and cummins even said the Brazilian blocks are junk. Then four years ago we swapped the original 5-speed out for an aftermarket 6-speed which this past year we blew out hauling a boat since the transmission was as basic as can be but the engine was bulked up.
I love that I never see Toyota’s on these lists, I love my tundra
I love mine too it’s amazing
Proud OBS chevy owner here simply best truck ever made, which aged very well
My dad has a 2001 f-150 and multiple times you would go to start it and you’d hear pow and it would blow the spark plug then it would shoot air out the cylinder and sound like a tractor
I use to have a 4.6 F-150 sold it with 220k miles never had any major issues.
I've never seen a 2nd gen dodge crew cab anywhere near where I'm from. I've literally seen on extended cabs and single cabs
They’re pretty much in Mexico only
They aren’t stock it is a company that made them
haha love my 6.0 stroker! best truck ive ever owned!
I heard that if you bulletproof a 6.0L it's one of the most reliable trucks you can own
Exactly. 6.4 was way worse. Always heard you can make a 6.0 a good truck but there's no way to make a 6.4 good lol
@@jonathancourtney9514 not if you wanna remain emissions compliant anyway. If you're ok with doing a full emissions delete on a 6.4 then it'll last forever. But they're such a pain in the ass to work on that a power stroke dedicated shop won't work on them anymore.
first truck: 2002 ford f150 with a 4.6L 16V with 203k miles. I've driven it 12k miles and haven't been nice at all to it and I haven't had any problems so far. the spark plug issue depends on the year, size of the engine, engine # of valves, and engine manufactured location. I think i got the one year 4.6L with the good # of valves and the Windsor engine which is the slightly better version. I've mainly only heard the spark plug problem in the 5.4L and 3 valves. still a great truck though. only time will tell.
I own a 05 f150 4.6 and never had the spark plug issue and ive had a 04 mustang 4.6 same motor, never has the issue either and never heard if that issue
Its pretty common homer
People love to run their engine 50k past scheduled maintenance and then complain when something goes wrong. If you take care of your equipment, it takes care of you.
I had a 2000 Ford Expedition with the 5.4 and it blew out 6 of the 8 plugs over the coarse of its life. Not to mention that it was a pain to re-tap and thread the 4 rear spark plug holes.
y’all hurting my feelings lately with the 10thgen f150 disses o
For real man haha its ok i still love my truck and the bodystyle despite what anyone else thinks
They so dam ugly😂😂
Corbin Reynolds hey 🔫take that back
Well after going down the ford,Dodge and Chevy road and now owning two Toyota’s 2013 RAV4 and a 2015 Tundra V8. NOT ONE PROBLEM. I can’t say this about the other trucks I’ve had. Tundra’s are built in Texas.
I had a 5.4 with 340k miles before a lifter went out and didn’t catch it in time 🤧
I'm very surprised about the f150. Thought those engines were reliable. But damn spark plugs are important. I remember Fueller made a video on the 6.0 powerstroke. Not the best engine. A lot of guys had that in the custom offsets team. Not surprised at the explorer, dodge and Hummer.

Don't get me wrong I love my truck I have 204k miles on it and it hasn't let me down, but I'd be fucking fool not to recognize the problems that can and will arise with these trucks
Yea you can tell when they were talking about the f150s and the 4.6 having spark plug ejection problems it was only in the 5.4 first off and then they fixed it after the first 3 model years because it didn’t have enough spark plug threads and they were aluminum so they stripped easy but they added more and made it not aluminum in 2003 so you can tell they aren’t doing their research here
Obs Chevy gang. Where you at?
2nd gens r sick af tho
Chevy s10
Crazzzzy that you put the 6.0 before the 6.4🤯
The 4.6l fords aren’t bad but he was right on the 5.4l
The 4.6l in the 04-08 trucks had the issue resolved, but the 5.4 3v motors were even worse
@@8bitter696 the 5.4s seem to either be bullet proof or plagued with problems. There seems to be no in between
So here's the breakdown with the 4.6 and 5.4 the 4.6 2v comes from the 10th gen all the way to about 2005 then they changed to 3v but didnt shoot plugs don't k ow where that came from the 5.4 2v was also fine didnt shoot plugs but had a timing chain know to fail after 230k ish but the 2v never shot plugs only the 3v did it was because ford didnt drill the hole out enough only drilling out 4 threads instead of 8 threads that a spark plug has
Kronanze the 4.6 in my 07 is a 2v, the 2 and 3v were produced along side each other
@@8bitter696 oh lol i think the 2v 4.6 went to 2010 then im not to sure everything i rwad on it says different
I'd definitely say this list is spot on. I owned an 11th Gen F150 with a 5.4, paid more than double the purchase price in repairs over two years, and it still needed a whole new top and front end of the engine (about 8k from the shop) when I finally got rid of it. Literally the reason why the "lifted Ford" stereotype exists.
I’m young, stupid and uneducated and I got myself a 12 Silverado for 18k 2 months ago I am now having a few minor issues and I’m afraid things could get worse 😎😎😎✅💯
Things are good lmao
Really simple and cheap trucks to fix shouldn't be a disaster.. I mean a chevy engine swap is close to same price as replacing fuel injectors for a Cummins.
I bought a 12 too. Was held together with be repairs but doing the right fix was only couple hundred bucks here and there
I like how the 11th gen f150 in there other video was rated in the top 5 best beginner trucks to buy lmao the 5.4 3v found in the 2004-2010 f150s did not have the spark plug issue that was the 2v's only bad thing about a 3v is the cam phasers
Second
As long as you know how to use a torque wrench the spark plugs are fine at least on the 2 valve 5.4 triton. I only did a timing chain on my truck and it’s been fine at now almost 200k miles
Take it from a GM guy.... this guy knows his stuff! 😂
That explorer getting jumped is my girlfriends brothers😂
Funny that you mentioned the 6.0 power stroke, we just finished rebuilding my dad's engine today, it doesn't even have 100k miles yet, still a beautiful truck tho

#1 Ridgeline
#2 Ranger
#3 4 cyl Silverado
#4 Dodge Rampage
#5 Any Dakota
The 10th and 11th gen F-150s are very reliable if properly maintained.
I have 3 of them and no sparkplug issues. All original engines.
1. 2007 F-150 5.4 - 312,000 trans rebuilt at 275,000 always towed a trailer and 8,800 lb rv
2. 2003 F-150 4.6 - 261,000 all original
3. 2007 F-150 5.4 - 225,000 reverse went out at 200,000 backing up a trailer
I owned a 98 150 with a 4.6 and currently own a 05 150 with a 5.4.
The 4.6 gave me no problems, Sold it at 230,000 miles.
The 5.4 I think it's starting the tick and it's a Ford reman.
Melling came out with an upgraded oil pump 2 years ago to fix the 5.4's problems. Ibwill see how this goes lol
I’m sorry but I got to defend a 10th gen here. Yes they may spit out plugs, but there’s a kit called cal van that is an amazing kit to get. It’s all cut and dry on how to use it. I’ve had one spit out on me and I bought this kit and decided to do all 8 right away and now I just fixed the problem permanently for 200$. Other than that these truck will go on for a long long time and are super reliable. Mines never left me stranded, no matter what happened it’s always made it home. That’s because the only thing that’s happened was a spark plug got ejected LOL
I drive a 2nd gen Cummins. Factory transmission and factory VP44. Absolutely zero issues 👌🏼 rethink your list boys
Ford triton spark plug problems is mainly with the first generation of triton heads, there wasn’t enough threads in the heads to keep spark plugs in the head, they’d seize and out goes the plug, later trucks can have spark plugs stick, but if you stick a bit of copper anti seize on the threads you are good
Wish this video came out may 2019. I bought a 06 6.0 f350 with 309k. Only 312k on it now and I’ve replaced egr valve, 8 injectors, oil cooler, egr cooler, head gaskets and head studs. Running good now tho...
I have a 2nd gen cummins that my great grandpa bought new, after he passed away my grandpa had it for some time and I finally bought it from him and the truck is in great condition. No engine or transmission problems ever and it only has 135,000 miles on the truck. I’m keeping this truck in my family till I die 😂
Cold take on the 2nd gen… considering I own a 98 12 valve I may be biased but they’re great trucks overall
My family has owned 3 10th/11th gen fords. One came from the rust belt and had surface rust on the frame but nothing structural and almost none on the body. It had a 4.6 and ran insanely great at 200k miles. The other two were 5.4 but different models of 5.4. One was the older 5.4 which we did have spark plug issues with. The newer 5.4 hasn't given us any problems. They are great trucks. With that being said, they can be a gamble for the reasons stated in the video.
The first year of the 11th gen (2004) used the 2v 4.6 after they used the 3v 4.6 the 2v is great engine and i know the spark plugs were an issue but the 3v had much more problems then the 2v i own a 2v
95-07 ram 1500's should be on the list for the transmissions
