Totally 100% agree. Im a police car mechanic. Nothing we have had before or even after the Crown Victoria comes even remotely close to the reliability of the 4.6 2v, and we have tried all of the domestic brands.
Same I work on them for just general maintenance nothing ever majorly wrong But if you did have a major issue itwas nothing of the cost of today's $$$$$ you'd pay out
The only Ecoboost vehicles we have are unmarked units. Not that many. Most of the units we have for squad cars nowadays are explorers with the 3.7, and just got some of the new ones with the 3.3.
I worked on a fleet of them. The 4.6 2V is darn near indestructible. Most issues were suspension. Had to replace a locked up engine, but that was due to very poor maintenance and not the engines fault. I drive a 2010 P7B everyday and have no problems except the rack leaks and the exhaust manifolds have rotted.
2uzfe Toyota 4.7l dohc v8 destroys the 4.6 l 2v in terms of reliability and everything else. Not to mention Toyota transmissions are insanely better too.
I daily drove a 2007 Crown Vic police interceptor and have worked on other Modular V8s from time to time. Seen those motors go through hell and back. I 100% agree, 2V 4.6 and 4R70/75 is about as bulletproof as you can get.
Have that same combo on 98 Crown Vic. Very reliable except for a few issues like a light lower end knock in drive at a stoplight, oil consumption per 1,000 miles or more, pings while flooring it on the highway, no blue smoke on start up, but as of recent, I noticed it smokes lightly at idle. 170,000 original miles. Should I consider rebuilding the engine?
I miss my 2001 f150 4.6l V8 truck. It was my first ever vehicle when I was 17 and was a hand-me-down. Was over 230k miles and the only thing going wrong on it was a power steering leak and my fuel pump started to go. I would still have that truck today. But in 2021 when I was 23 I was rear ended by a distracted driver when I was stopped, and they hit me at 50mph. I miss that truck so much, sent me down memory lane when you started it up.
I own 3 10th gens(and buy, fix and sell them as well) All 5.4's 4wd. The one I daily has 325k on it. I whole heartedly agree that it is, hands down, THE BEST half-ton truck put there.
I whole heartily agree ! I had a 2002 F150 XLT 2wd silver with 5.4 and 4r70 Trans. I bought it with 60k miles, and sold it with 305,000 miles, original engine, Trans, diff, A/C system. Only repair to engine was a new plastic intake manifold at 285,000 miles, old one warped and had a vacuum leak. I now have a 2004 Mustang GT with 4.6 2V with 150,000 miles. No oil leaks, no burning oil and/or blow by. Yes, the 4.6 and 5.4 2V Modular engines are some of the most reliable long lasting engines out there!
You are absolutely correct. 25 year mobile tech, these engines were bomb proof. Easily hit the 300k mark with good maintenance. Everything went to shit once the 3v came out. If you can find a nice rig with a 2v, its a unicorn. I have never had to do a water pump on these..ever. Now, the 5.0 Ive done as early as 45k, and another at 90k.
Found a Unicorn and I'm in love with the simplicity and longevity of the 2v. LOL. 2010 F150 regular cab. 122K like brand new. No rust. Thank you for your input and experience on the reliability of these engines.
My mechanic/dealer found me, an 06 F-150 XLT 4.6 2V Crew Cab with a little over 105K (almost 106) miles on it. And I bought it for my dad, as a Father's Day gift this past summer.
I just bought a 2005 F150. 139000 miles , 4x4 for $1000, but had to put $5k more into it for a rebuilt transmission and new brakes. So far , I’m liking it
Got my 2005 4.6 2v 89k miles for 4500 a few years ago to haul kayaks. Great truck. Put a SCT tuner on it, flowmaster super 50, spectre air filter with gotts mod. Cold a/c. Decent gas mileage too. My uncle had this generation and put over way over 250k on his.
These truck are awesome. I bought one, not running for 500$. Changed fluids, spark plugs, egr valve, and throttle position sensor. Shes running amazingly now, I need to do abs sensors...eventually. 450000km & no check engine light.
I totally agree. I’m the original owner of a 2001 Expedition XLT 4.6 2wd, 244,000 miles down here in GA. I specifically wanted the 4.6 engine for reliability. The car runs, shifts and looks like the day I purchased it in 2000 and just passed it’s yearly emissions check today with the original exhaust. Just routine maintenance items, front suspension rebuild, rear axle seals, that’s it. I flush the cooling system every 30k, flush the tranny every 70k and change the oil every 5k. We just inherited a 2013 Honda Odyssey and my wife wants me to finally sell the Expo. These vehicles were built to a tougher standard than the junk built today and I’m sort of thinking the Expo might out last the Odyssey.
My father bought one new (2002 F-150 XL SCAB 4.6 black). He drove it until he passed in 2016 when I got it for my daughter who's been driving it daily for the last 5 years. That truck spent the first 14 years in central PA (rust belt) so it does have rust issues on the rocker panels but it's pretty solid otherwise. I've replaced tie rod ends, upper control arms, one exhaust manifold, both front wheel bearings, and one rotted brake line (hard line to the rear). Other than that, it runs reliably like a top. I won't get rid of it until the wheels literally fall off.
I had 2002 ext cab 4.6L 4wd. It had 600,000kms (370,000 miles) eastern Canada rust got the best of it. Had a snow plow, gooseneck hitch. And thousands of miles of Canadian woods roads. I was young and dumb had no cares and beat the ball sack out of that truck . It took every bit of it. Best truck ever!
The 4 doors are always hard to find. I was looking for a 4 door and the cheapest I could find was $5-7k. An extra cab could be had for $1500. Ended up with a 6.2 f250 and am happy. No problems so far!
I have a 99 crown vic with 190,000 miles; the 4.6 2 valve is one of my favorites; 4R70W not so much, but frequent fluid changes make it last; I installed a pan with a drain plug and change about 4.5 quarts every other oil change
I had an 02 f150 with the 4.6 and it was a crew cab 4x4. Great truck! Ran great but totaled it at 227k. Should have bought it back from insurance when they offered it to me but didn't. Now I drive an 01 4x4 lifted crew cab with the 5.4 and it has 272k miles. Love those trucks. That generation is my favorite.
Worked for Ford 26 years have seen 350 to 400,000 miles on the engine. Had a 2003 f150 4.6 with 257,000 miles still running like new. Towed trailers and run the piss out of it just keep it serviced.
I came across a 2003 4.2 V6 2wd, mint as it was owned by an older gentleman 100k Km, never regretted buying it last year for an A to B here in Canada drives like new, always loved the 10th gen since I was a wee lad
I have a 2003 F-150 SuperCrew with 273,500 miles on it. I bought it for $1,000 in 2019. I have now driven it for 5 years. I got the tranny rebuilt and I replaced the shocks. The A/C still blows cold and I will never get rid of it!! 😎👍🏼
I 100% agree. I own a 07 f150 with the 4.6 2 v . The most bullet proof engine Ford has ever built and I would argue that the 3.7 duratech engines are good as well.
I have a 2003 F-150 supercrew 4.6 2v with 293,000 miles and still runs amazing. Have owned it since it was new. Everything still works also. I love it and will drive it till it falls apart .
My 03’ F150 Supercrew 5.4 was my spare as well (100k miles) now it’s my daily after just recently because of how reliable they are sold my old daily because of the market. No regrets here.
i have a 2002 F150 Lariat supercrew. It has the 4.6 V8 and is cardinal red with the lariat trim package and leather seats. 183k miles on it now. Just replaced all 4 tires with 265 r70 17 get radials and this one came new with the chrome supreme wheels and ford bed liner. No rust at all. Keeping it forever
Love me some 10th gen f150's, just picked up a 2003 extended cab lariat 2wd with the 4.6 with only 85k on the clock. Runs like new and plan to keep it a very long time.
This is always nice to watch. Just got myself a 1995 Lincoln town car, has 108k miles, everything is just amazing...except the EATC, still looking into that
02 exploder with the aluminum block 2v and i think the 5r55w, 128k. will probably keep it forever, even tho the trans is kind of iffy, i realize what a great motor i have.
My aunt has a 2003 with the 4.6 and a 4r70w and she has put damn near 350k on the thing and it still runs like a clock! All she has done to it was regular maintenance, she hasn't had to replace anything other than the heater core which popped at 275k and just new brakes.
I absolutely love my 03 XLT 4x4, 4.6. It has been very reliable for me other than blowing out a couple of plugs, but not a huge deal. These are real nice driving trucks and ride a bit better than strut front end trucks in my opinion. Mine has about 185,000 miles and still goes great!
After owning three vehicles with this powertrain combo I can confirm they are reliable. I cannot however say they are powerful or very efficient. The 4r70w isn't my favourite transmission though, I'd much rather have the 5 speed hooked up to the 4.6.
They are efficient it's not a matter of debating that they wouldn't have been as successful as they were if that wasn't the case Most powerful absolutely not no way nowhere in any of my statement would I ever say that or have said that
@@FordBossMe I'll have to ask, efficient compared to what? They were much more efficient than the small blocks they replaced 30 years ago for sure. However, compared to modern engines they are not at all. My new Ram with the 5.7 and 8 speed is more fuel efficient than the 4.6 4 speed combo it replaced while weighing 1500 lbs more and having an additional 150hp and 100 ft lbs over the 4.6 it replaced.
I just picked up a 2000 Ford F-150 4x4 pickup 4.6 liter engine. While doing a little research about these 4.6 liter engines I found that in starting in 2001 they made an upgrade to the cylinder heads and intake on some of these engines! There is a non PI that produced 190 horsepower, but the PI version jumped the horsepower rating up to 260 HP! You can check your VIN number plate for the eighth digit number # , if it has a W it has the standard 190HP engine. But if the eighth digit # is a number 9 it has a PI engine! And from what I have read, these are the same engine that they used in the mustang with the only difference being the intake cam that was used for the mustang produced another 35 horsepower then the truck engine produced. 😋
Just bought a 2000 F-150 4wd 5sp regular cab short bed from an older gentleman that took good care of it. Had 244,000 miles and runs & drives perfectly. Everything on it works. Gave $2500. Gets great gas mileage
Thank you again for great content The Previous Owner loved this truck and you can never under estimate the power of what TLC and maintenance can do when a vehicle is meticulously cared for. That is a nice truck. Just to clarify at 5:55 the mileage reads 228,878.1. The title indicated 500K miles. Just an observation
think hes saying the truck will go to 500k, not that it is at 500k. the 4.6L 2v is one of the most reliable motors ever built, ford or otherwise. amazing looking truck.
Boss man you are so right. Got a town car 1999 mint with a 4.6 wouldn’t trade this car for any of the garbage out there. Had the car 8 years now. Just turned 100,000. Outside of oil changes and brakes just replaced blower motor controller. Not bad for 8 years!! 👍👍👍
I had a 2002 F150 with 5.4 2V. When i traded it in, it had 305,000 miles. The original A/C still blew cold. The only major repair i did was the intake manifold. It warped and caused a vacuum leak, so i replaced it. Very reliable vehicles. I now have a 2004 Mustang GT convertible with 4.6 2V. It only has 157,000 miles. No issues
I had an 03 5.4 screw with 290,000kms. No leaks or anything when I sold it last year. Changed out a couple manifolds but nothing major. Rust proofed yearly also. Great truck.
I have a 2000 F150 4.6L long bed super-cab fleet truck, completely bare bones except for automatic transmission and air conditioning. The only “problem” I had was caused by me, I power washed the engine and fried two of the coils so I figured I’d do a “tune-up” and I replaced all the coils and spark plugs with factory Motorcraft parts and she has ran amazingly since (:::knocks on wood:::). I have about 150,000 on her and I just change all the fluids when I’m supposed to and she starts up every time I turn the key and sounds great. 😎 I deserve her, the car I had before was a 1997 S10 Chevrolet Blazer (back in 2001) that was a complete pile of shit. Thank God I had an extended warranty on that Blazer ‘cause EVERY part on it was replaced… twice. I’ll never buy GM again because of that Blazer.
I have the 2010 ford f150 4.6 3v with 182,000 I've heard the 4.6 are bullet proof but the 3v was not as good as the 2v bc timing kit issues I just had all that replaced on mine around 175,000 Miles all new timing kit. You think I'll be good to go engine wise now?
were I'm at there all rust free I seen one just like the truck in the video for 1k I'm buying only thing it needs is a alternator 126k miles I told them sold lol cant go wrong for that cheap
Got a 4.6 in my 1998 Ford Crown Vic, still good but has a lower end (coming from oil pan area) knock especially when at the stoplight in drive. Goes away when i accelerate and in park at idle. 170,000 miles on it, original engine with the prod date sticker on the valve cover, burns a quart of oil every 1,000 or so miles and passes CA smog everytime. Is it worth rebuilding the engine at this point?
Figured I chime in I own a 2011 Ford Expedition XLT premium with 250k original miles. Only issues are the passenger door panels are rotting, liftgate paint is bubbling and the passenger side exhaust manifold is on its 3rd manifold. I use full synthetic and still change it every time 6k miles. Runs and drives like new. If you maintain these trucks they will last a long time especially if you keep it in nice climate. I unfortunately live in New England.
I have a 03 4.6 f150 4x4 and it has been reliable for the 4 or 5 years I've owned it. The only things I've done to it is a brake line, rear brake caliper, wheel bearing, alternator and pads and rotors. All typical maintenance you would do on any vehicle and everything was done by me and I'm not a mechanic by any means. So I agree these trucks are relatively easy to work on, some of the things mentioned I literally had never done before by myself. The only sad thing is because of where I live the salt corrosion has rotted away the frame in the rear and bed so it's not really worth continuing to work on keeping up with all the maintenance. I just do the bare minimum to keep it on the road until it's no longer road worthy.
I agree, my frame is the same way but it still runs like a champ so I do what it needs to run. Got to get the wheel bearing now. Has your ABS ever came on?
The key to them is routine maintenance and keep the rocker's sprayed with lubricant or fluid film. Had a 2000 5.4 2v sold it with 318 thou miles and the only rot was in the door rocker's still ran like a top. Bought and 03 fx4 5.4 2v with 130 thou and the only rot is in the door rocker's. Runs like a new truck.
This is my favorite generation of F150! I currently have a 99 expedition 4.6 block and 5.4 heads 456 rear end and LSD for off-roading. You can definitely tell that Ford was building something that would last. I have 130,000 and in SW so other than paint the rest of the vehicle has aged very well!
2003 expedition eddie bauer 4.6l triton 2v 245,000 paid 1,000 other then fuel pump relay issues its a beast! Needs wheel bearing plugs and coils you know maintenance.
When I turn 16 this November my first truck is going to be a 2007 Ford F-150 super crew with the 4.6 liter v8 it has 140k miles. I’m very happy for it to be my first truck
I have same exact truck except 4wd , has 350000 plus miles all original drivetrain. I’m not a Ford guy in anyway, I’ve owned numerous Dodges and GMs it’s no powerhouse but for what is is. I can not complain a bit its dead nuts reliable has excellent oil pressure and gets the best gas mileage of any truck I’ve ever owned it does everything I need and then some.
Friend of mine has a 2002 Expedition with 358,000 miles. Original drivetrain. I serviced it the other day. No rust, nothing leaks. Of course it’s had the usual maintenance.

This generation of Ford F series is in my opinion the best running trucks Ford made. I had a 99 and my sister bought one new. My 2001 Ram I can say the same
Ford Boss Me, since this is the most reliable truck ever built with the 4.6L 2V engine; please do a video on the same 97-03 truck on how to wire in a kill switch to prevent a common thief from stealing your truck. I have the same truck,a 2000 Ford F-150 with only 126K miles, and is in excellent condition. I don't want it stolen ever. Thank You for all Your Informative Videos.
Had my 2003 XLT RCSB with lightning wheels with 150 K miles. I kept it in great condition. Sold it in a few hours for over my asking price to buy a 12 RCSB STX.
I love my 1999 2wd f150. It's got the 4.2 v6 and has 335 thousand miles on the original drivetrain. I tow often with it as well. Love the 10th gen f150s. I just do the routine maintenance and did the upper and lower intake gaskets
had a fleet of stretched limo's town cars with the 4.6 most mileage was 556,000 unmolested on the power train. the body's rusted that is why I sold them. the average of the others was in the 400,000 mile range.
I have an 03 ext cab 5.4L 2v 2wd Lariat with 205k. Not rotted out, it came from KY when I bought it, and its a little further south now. It does need some bodywork (dents, scratches, etc.), bought it that way. I thought about selling it many times but, if I do sell it, I'll never be able to find another one for less than the $2700 I paid for it over 3 years ago.
Yep, i miss mine. I had the 4.6L 4x4 Crew cab. Truck just ran. Thinking about getting another one now, and meber title pawning it. Thats how i lost mine. Was so pissed, i didnt even pay to get it back when i had the money. Stupid and not thinking.
Had me a 02 basically the same truck here in michigan. Rust did get to it but the damn this was so reliable and i sold it at 270k and no major repairs.
Hey Boss I love your video and comments about that Ford trck I have a 2001 5.4 Crew Cab V8 Triton and I love it is still in mint condition in and out and I give maintenance to it every time. Take care.
@@marcharris4176 River and lake water is mighty cold! 😉 I've been a Ford guy my whole life, but I have great respect for the 350. My father sure went through a lot of water pumps on his 84, 88, and 92 K1500 Suburbans. The 96 Tahoe he had survived to 320k... but it took 3 4L60s to get there.
I have a 2001 supercrew 4x4 off road package 4.6 2v with 105,000 never been in winter and looks almost brand new and its stored in garage all of its life and doesn't sit outside! . I think I've only used the 4x4 one time just so I wouldn't spine mud all over the truck the one time I took it back to my buddies cabin lol! Never selling it.. Only problem I've had is them stupid coil packs and I can change one in less than 10 minutes and ac blend door actuator!
My grandad bought a 2001 (first year) supercrew xlt 4.6 4wd. Still have it, I'm about to swap it to a 5.4 4v now though, the 4.6 still runs but she's down on power and needs a rebuild bad. Happened into a 4v Navi, think it'll be night and day.
Had a 2002 F150 with 5.4 2V. I sold it with 305,000 miles. It had the original engine, transmission, differential, A/C. Only issue I had was the plastic intake manifold warped and had a vacuum leak at 275,000 miles. Replaced the intake kept driving it. The 4r70 was starting to slip...
I saw a 2007 4.6L 4x4 long bed with 162k on the dash all white no rust on a lot, for $6,900 I didn't get it because all of those time chain, oil pump videos spooked me was that a good deal? Should I have gotten it I'm still having second thoughts
i have a 2001 ext cab xlt with 93000 miles, 4.6 auto. runs strong no leaks looks good very reliable. no need to sell it. no payments no high insurance. get me from point a to point b and back.
Have a 2000 with the same engine. 239k miles and still going. Cosmetics are crap but im working on making it better looking. Its my project truck anyway
The 4.6L and 5.4L 2v are the most reliable trucks of all time -
Prove me wrong
Yes $4,990

Best of Ford trucks or all trucks in general?
Yes sir, dont forget the 2v V10.

If it’s a 05 then it’s def a 3v lol
DAMN!!!
You should get a percentage of the sale on this truck!
I'm sold!
Thanks for sharing!
I miss my 2001 f150 4.6l V8 truck. It was my first ever vehicle when I was 17 and was a hand-me-down. Was over 230k miles and the only thing going wrong on it was a power steering leak and my fuel pump started to go. I would still have that truck today. But in 2021 when I was 23 I was rear ended by a distracted driver when I was stopped, and they hit me at 50mph. I miss that truck so much, sent me down memory lane when you started it up.
I own 3 10th gens(and buy, fix and sell them as well) All 5.4's 4wd. The one I daily has 325k on it. I whole heartedly agree that it is, hands down, THE BEST half-ton truck put there.
I whole heartily agree ! I had a 2002 F150 XLT 2wd silver with 5.4 and 4r70 Trans. I bought it with 60k miles, and sold it with 305,000 miles, original engine, Trans, diff, A/C system. Only repair to engine was a new plastic intake manifold at 285,000 miles, old one warped and had a vacuum leak. I now have a 2004 Mustang GT with 4.6 2V with 150,000 miles. No oil leaks, no burning oil and/or blow by. Yes, the 4.6 and 5.4 2V Modular engines are some of the most reliable long lasting engines out there!
You are absolutely correct. 25 year mobile tech, these engines were bomb proof. Easily hit the 300k mark with good maintenance. Everything went to shit once the 3v came out. If you can find a nice rig with a 2v, its a unicorn. I have never had to do a water pump on these..ever. Now, the 5.0 Ive done as early as 45k, and another at 90k.
Found a Unicorn and I'm in love with the simplicity and longevity of the 2v. LOL. 2010 F150 regular cab. 122K like brand new. No rust. Thank you for your input and experience on the reliability of these engines.
Very clean truck, Im an older silverado guy all the way but I can always appreciate a solid truck. Thanks for showing !
My mechanic/dealer found me, an 06 F-150 XLT 4.6 2V Crew Cab with a little over 105K (almost 106) miles on it. And I bought it for my dad, as a Father's Day gift this past summer.
Beautiful
I just bought a 2005 F150. 139000 miles , 4x4 for $1000, but had to put $5k more into it for a rebuilt transmission and new brakes.
So far , I’m liking it

Love to see the old survivors I hope my 09 4.6 3v lasts thanks for sharing your channel is awesome
My first car was a 96 mercury grand marquis, that 4.6 took an incredible amount of beating!
I totally agree. I’m the original owner of a 2001 Expedition XLT 4.6 2wd, 244,000 miles down here in GA. I specifically wanted the 4.6 engine for reliability. The car runs, shifts and looks like the day I purchased it in 2000 and just passed it’s yearly emissions check today with the original exhaust. Just routine maintenance items, front suspension rebuild, rear axle seals, that’s it. I flush the cooling system every 30k, flush the tranny every 70k and change the oil every 5k. We just inherited a 2013 Honda Odyssey and my wife wants me to finally sell the Expo. These vehicles were built to a tougher standard than the junk built today and I’m sort of thinking the Expo might out last the Odyssey.
I'm in Georgia too just found crew cab 4 door for 500 with 280k
Loved the 4.6 Ford V8. Many years ago I rented a 1995 Thunderbird 4.6 V8. Car was a beast
My father bought one new (2002 F-150 XL SCAB 4.6 black). He drove it until he passed in 2016 when I got it for my daughter who's been driving it daily for the last 5 years. That truck spent the first 14 years in central PA (rust belt) so it does have rust issues on the rocker panels but it's pretty solid otherwise. I've replaced tie rod ends, upper control arms, one exhaust manifold, both front wheel bearings, and one rotted brake line (hard line to the rear). Other than that, it runs reliably like a top. I won't get rid of it until the wheels literally fall off.
Amen
I had 2002 ext cab 4.6L 4wd. It had 600,000kms (370,000 miles) eastern Canada rust got the best of it. Had a snow plow, gooseneck hitch. And thousands of miles of Canadian woods roads. I was young and dumb had no cares and beat the ball sack out of that truck . It took every bit of it. Best truck ever!
These are great and very reliable. Only thing bad about them was that they had poor crash test results when impacted in front.
I’ve got a 04 and 05 with well over 300,000 miles with the 4.6 and they are great. No issues just regular maintenance !
The 4 doors are always hard to find. I was looking for a 4 door and the cheapest I could find was $5-7k. An extra cab could be had for $1500. Ended up with a 6.2 f250 and am happy. No problems so far!
I have a 99 crown vic with 190,000 miles; the 4.6 2 valve is one of my favorites; 4R70W not so much, but frequent fluid changes make it last; I installed a pan with a drain plug and change about 4.5 quarts every other oil change
I'll never get rid of my late fathers 2000 f150. I love it.
I had an 02 f150 with the 4.6 and it was a crew cab 4x4. Great truck! Ran great but totaled it at 227k. Should have bought it back from insurance when they offered it to me but didn't. Now I drive an 01 4x4 lifted crew cab with the 5.4 and it has 272k miles. Love those trucks. That generation is my favorite.
The Crew Cabs seem more beefy. -Check them out.
@@jonmccormick8683 oh, they are. The 02 was a crew cab and so is my current 01.
Worked for Ford 26 years have seen 350 to 400,000 miles on the engine. Had a 2003 f150 4.6 with 257,000 miles still running like new. Towed trailers and run the piss out of it just keep it serviced.
I came across a 2003 4.2 V6 2wd, mint as it was owned by an older gentleman 100k Km, never regretted buying it last year for an A to B here in Canada drives like new, always loved the 10th gen since I was a wee lad
I have a 2003 F-150 SuperCrew with 273,500 miles on it. I bought it for $1,000 in 2019. I have now driven it for 5 years. I got the tranny rebuilt and I replaced the shocks. The A/C still blows cold and I will never get rid of it!! 😎👍🏼
I 100% agree. I own a 07 f150 with the 4.6 2 v . The most bullet proof engine Ford has ever built and I would argue that the 3.7 duratech engines are good as well.
Is your truck a sxt?
I have a 2003 F-150 supercrew 4.6 2v with 293,000 miles and still runs amazing. Have owned it since it was new. Everything still works also. I love it and will drive it till it falls apart .
Shoud I buy one with 260k Miles it runs fine ?
My 03’ F150 Supercrew 5.4 was my spare as well (100k miles) now it’s my daily after just recently because of how reliable they are sold my old daily because of the market. No regrets here.
i have a 2002 F150 Lariat supercrew. It has the 4.6 V8 and is cardinal red with the lariat trim package and leather seats. 183k miles on it now. Just replaced all 4 tires with 265 r70 17 get radials and this one came new with the chrome supreme wheels and ford bed liner. No rust at all. Keeping it forever
Love me some 10th gen f150's, just picked up a 2003 extended cab lariat 2wd with the 4.6 with only 85k on the clock. Runs like new and plan to keep it a very long time.
This is always nice to watch. Just got myself a 1995 Lincoln town car, has 108k miles, everything is just amazing...except the EATC, still looking into that
02 exploder with the aluminum block 2v and i think the 5r55w, 128k. will probably keep it forever, even tho the trans is kind of iffy, i realize what a great motor i have.
My aunt has a 2003 with the 4.6 and a 4r70w and she has put damn near 350k on the thing and it still runs like a clock! All she has done to it was regular maintenance, she hasn't had to replace anything other than the heater core which popped at 275k and just new brakes.
My 2003 with the 4.6 ran flawlessly, never had any problems.
I own a 2001 f150 7700 with 240k miles with the 5.4! Love the 2V platform.
I absolutely love my 03 XLT 4x4, 4.6. It has been very reliable for me other than blowing out a couple of plugs, but not a huge deal. These are real nice driving trucks and ride a bit better than strut front end trucks in my opinion. Mine has about 185,000 miles and still goes great!
After owning three vehicles with this powertrain combo I can confirm they are reliable. I cannot however say they are powerful or very efficient. The 4r70w isn't my favourite transmission though, I'd much rather have the 5 speed hooked up to the 4.6.
They are efficient it's not a matter of debating that they wouldn't have been as successful as they were if that wasn't the case
Most powerful absolutely not no way nowhere in any of my statement would I ever say that or have said that
@@FordBossMe I'll have to ask, efficient compared to what? They were much more efficient than the small blocks they replaced 30 years ago for sure. However, compared to modern engines they are not at all. My new Ram with the 5.7 and 8 speed is more fuel efficient than the 4.6 4 speed combo it replaced while weighing 1500 lbs more and having an additional 150hp and 100 ft lbs over the 4.6 it replaced.
I just picked up a 2000 Ford F-150 4x4 pickup 4.6 liter engine. While doing a little research about these 4.6 liter engines I found that in starting in 2001 they made an upgrade to the cylinder heads and intake on some of these engines! There is a non PI that produced 190 horsepower, but the PI version jumped the horsepower rating up to 260 HP! You can check your VIN number plate for the eighth digit number # , if it has a W it has the standard 190HP engine. But if the eighth digit # is a number 9 it has a PI engine! And from what I have read, these are the same engine that they used in the mustang with the only difference being the intake cam that was used for the mustang produced another 35 horsepower then the truck engine produced. 😋
Totally agree. I have a 2wd 4.6l, 220,000 miles. Still running strong.
Just bought a 2000 F-150 4wd 5sp regular cab short bed from an older gentleman that took good care of it. Had 244,000 miles and runs & drives perfectly. Everything on it works. Gave $2500. Gets great gas mileage
Thank you again for great content The Previous Owner loved this truck and you can never under estimate the power of what TLC and maintenance can do when a vehicle is meticulously cared for. That is a nice truck. Just to clarify at 5:55 the mileage reads 228,878.1. The title indicated 500K miles. Just an observation
think hes saying the truck will go to 500k, not that it is at 500k. the 4.6L 2v is one of the most reliable motors ever built, ford or otherwise. amazing looking truck.
Boss man you are so right. Got a town car 1999 mint with a 4.6 wouldn’t trade this car for any of the garbage out there. Had the car 8 years now. Just turned 100,000. Outside of oil changes and brakes just replaced blower motor controller. Not bad for 8 years!! 👍👍👍
These trucks are still kicking up here in canada. Definitely not without rust though
I had a 2002 F150 with 5.4 2V. When i traded it in, it had 305,000 miles. The original A/C still blew cold. The only major repair i did was the intake manifold. It warped and caused a vacuum leak, so i replaced it. Very reliable vehicles. I now have a 2004 Mustang GT convertible with 4.6 2V. It only has 157,000 miles. No issues
I had an 03 5.4 screw with 290,000kms.
No leaks or anything when I sold it last year.
Changed out a couple manifolds but nothing major. Rust proofed yearly also.
Great truck.
I daily drive a 2000 f150 4.6. 244K. Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
I have a 2000 F150 4.6L long bed super-cab fleet truck, completely bare bones except for automatic transmission and air conditioning. The only “problem” I had was caused by me, I power washed the engine and fried two of the coils so I figured I’d do a “tune-up” and I replaced all the coils and spark plugs with factory Motorcraft parts and she has ran amazingly since (:::knocks on wood:::). I have about 150,000 on her and I just change all the fluids when I’m supposed to and she starts up every time I turn the key and sounds great. 😎
I deserve her, the car I had before was a 1997 S10 Chevrolet Blazer (back in 2001) that was a complete pile of shit. Thank God I had an extended warranty on that Blazer ‘cause EVERY part on it was replaced… twice. I’ll never buy GM again because of that Blazer.
I have the 2010 ford f150 4.6 3v with 182,000 I've heard the 4.6 are bullet proof but the 3v was not as good as the 2v bc timing kit issues I just had all that replaced on mine around 175,000 Miles all new timing kit. You think I'll be good to go engine wise now?
Do you still have it and is it running ok? Thanks.
Literally the cleanest one of those left.
were I'm at there all rust free I seen one just like the truck in the video for 1k I'm buying only thing it needs is a alternator 126k miles I told them sold lol cant go wrong for that cheap
Naw come to NC you will see clean ones all day!
my 5.4l is getting close to 300k, and its a damn CHAMPION! 2003 ford f-150 4x4, its unstoppable.
Got a 4.6 in my 1998 Ford Crown Vic, still good but has a lower end (coming from oil pan area) knock especially when at the stoplight in drive. Goes away when i accelerate and in park at idle. 170,000 miles on it, original engine with the prod date sticker on the valve cover, burns a quart of oil every 1,000 or so miles and passes CA smog everytime. Is it worth rebuilding the engine at this point?
I love f-150's, especially this body style and engine size, too. I had a 1998 that had 300,000 miles.
You should totally get this truck and sell thw dodge.
Fr it's going to outlast the dodge
The dodge is also offen compared to this because back in this time they were both great trucks
Figured I chime in I own a 2011 Ford Expedition XLT premium with 250k original miles. Only issues are the passenger door panels are rotting, liftgate paint is bubbling and the passenger side exhaust manifold is on its 3rd manifold. I use full synthetic and still change it every time 6k miles. Runs and drives like new. If you maintain these trucks they will last a long time especially if you keep it in nice climate. I unfortunately live in New England.
I have a 03 4.6 f150 4x4 and it has been reliable for the 4 or 5 years I've owned it. The only things I've done to it is a brake line, rear brake caliper, wheel bearing, alternator and pads and rotors. All typical maintenance you would do on any vehicle and everything was done by me and I'm not a mechanic by any means. So I agree these trucks are relatively easy to work on, some of the things mentioned I literally had never done before by myself. The only sad thing is because of where I live the salt corrosion has rotted away the frame in the rear and bed so it's not really worth continuing to work on keeping up with all the maintenance. I just do the bare minimum to keep it on the road until it's no longer road worthy.
I agree, my frame is the same way but it still runs like a champ so I do what it needs to run. Got to get the wheel bearing now. Has your ABS ever came on?
The key to them is routine maintenance and keep the rocker's sprayed with lubricant or fluid film. Had a 2000 5.4 2v sold it with 318 thou miles and the only rot was in the door rocker's still ran like a top. Bought and 03 fx4 5.4 2v with 130 thou and the only rot is in the door rocker's. Runs like a new truck.
Loved my 94 f150 manual transmission but that rust is killer. That is in awesome condition.
This is my favorite generation of F150! I currently have a 99 expedition 4.6 block and 5.4 heads 456 rear end and LSD for off-roading. You can definitely tell that Ford was building something that would last. I have 130,000 and in SW so other than paint the rest of the vehicle has aged very well!
Side exit exhaust was standard in 97 I believe
2003 expedition eddie bauer 4.6l triton 2v 245,000 paid 1,000 other then fuel pump relay issues its a beast! Needs wheel bearing plugs and coils you know maintenance.
When I turn 16 this November my first truck is going to be a 2007 Ford F-150 super crew with the 4.6 liter v8 it has 140k miles. I’m very happy for it to be my first truck
I have same exact truck except 4wd , has 350000 plus miles all original drivetrain. I’m not a Ford guy in anyway, I’ve owned numerous Dodges and GMs it’s no powerhouse but for what is is. I can not complain a bit its dead nuts reliable has excellent oil pressure and gets the best gas mileage of any truck I’ve ever owned it does everything I need and then some.
I agree. These trucks are.one of the most reliable trucks ever.
Someone loved n cared for it.
I have 03 4.6 2V with 279k and still going strong. Best truck I've ever owned.
Is this the same engine that you find in the older ford expedition?
the only thing i dislike about the 4.6 is ford made 3 different kinds of them, but other wise awesome engine, my buddy had one in a 97, ran amazing.
Just bought one... wait for it... and only 1 owner!
Friend of mine has a 2002 Expedition with 358,000 miles. Original drivetrain. I serviced it the other day. No rust, nothing leaks.
Of course it’s had the usual maintenance.

My Moms 2001 Ford Expedition is about to hit 450,000 miles and still running strong.
Damn crisp and basic truck, aint nothing wrong with that. solid piece. very nice
This generation of Ford F series is in my opinion the best running trucks Ford made. I had a 99 and my sister bought one new. My 2001 Ram I can say the same
Ford Boss Me, since this is the most reliable truck ever built with the 4.6L 2V engine; please do a video on the same 97-03 truck on how to wire in a kill switch to prevent a common thief from stealing your truck. I have the same truck,a 2000 Ford F-150 with only 126K miles, and is in excellent condition. I don't want it stolen ever. Thank You for all Your Informative Videos.
Had my 2003 XLT RCSB with lightning wheels with 150 K miles. I kept it in great condition. Sold it in a few hours for over my asking price to buy a 12 RCSB STX.
265k and climbing trees still with my 02. Doesn't even have any timing chain noise when I start it up
I just bought an 06 F150 4.6 2V from the original owner with 262k miles and it runs like a top
I agree,the 4.6 liter V8 2V modular motor from the Ford motor company was a tank! It is definitely a screamer!
I love my 1999 2wd f150. It's got the 4.2 v6 and has 335 thousand miles on the original drivetrain. I tow often with it as well. Love the 10th gen f150s.
I just do the routine maintenance and did the upper and lower intake gaskets
had a fleet of stretched limo's town cars with the 4.6 most mileage was 556,000 unmolested on the power train. the body's rusted that is why I sold them. the average of the others was in the 400,000 mile range.
I have an 03 ext cab 5.4L 2v 2wd Lariat with 205k. Not rotted out, it came from KY when I bought it, and its a little further south now.
It does need some bodywork (dents, scratches, etc.), bought it that way.
I thought about selling it many times but, if I do sell it, I'll never be able to find another one for less than the $2700 I paid for it over 3 years ago.
Yep, i miss mine. I had the 4.6L 4x4 Crew cab. Truck just ran. Thinking about getting another one now, and meber title pawning it. Thats how i lost mine. Was so pissed, i didnt even pay to get it back when i had the money. Stupid and not thinking.
I have a 01 f50 5.4 2v 376000 miles still runs great don't burn a drop of oil
Had me a 02 basically the same truck here in michigan. Rust did get to it but the damn this was so reliable and i sold it at 270k and no major repairs.
Love my van . 4.6 2v. 4r75w Dana 60! I’ll own this thing for ever!
330k on my 1999 f150 4.6 2v I just replaced the fuel pump the easy way. Take the bed off. Runs excellent.
Hey Boss I love your video and comments about that Ford trck I have a 2001 5.4 Crew Cab V8 Triton and I love it is still in mint condition in and out and I give maintenance to it every time. Take care.
Thank you for letting the world know that the term "most reliable" applies to Ford as well. Most people think that term applies only for Toyotas.
Toyotas are good but there were definitely better Motors put out then what Toyota has to offer
@@eafan48 i bet to differ. I work on boats and the chevy 350 can run at 5k all day long no problem. Toyota engine would not last.
@@eafan48 lol. You dont know a 350 then.
@@marcharris4176 River and lake water is mighty cold! 😉
I've been a Ford guy my whole life, but I have great respect for the 350. My father sure went through a lot of water pumps on his 84, 88, and 92 K1500 Suburbans. The 96 Tahoe he had survived to 320k... but it took 3 4L60s to get there.
Till what yr was that engine put in the f150 ?
Mine needs rebuilt. Is there a manual that will help me with that?
I have a 2001 supercrew 4x4 off road package 4.6 2v with 105,000 never been in winter and looks almost brand new and its stored in garage all of its life and doesn't sit outside! . I think I've only used the 4x4 one time just so I wouldn't spine mud all over the truck the one time I took it back to my buddies cabin lol! Never selling it.. Only problem I've had is them stupid coil packs and I can change one in less than 10 minutes and ac blend door actuator!
My grandad bought a 2001 (first year) supercrew xlt 4.6 4wd. Still have it, I'm about to swap it to a 5.4 4v now though, the 4.6 still runs but she's down on power and needs a rebuild bad. Happened into a 4v Navi, think it'll be night and day.
Had a 2002 F150 with 5.4 2V. I sold it with 305,000 miles. It had the original engine, transmission, differential, A/C. Only issue I had was the plastic intake manifold warped and had a vacuum leak at 275,000 miles. Replaced the intake kept driving it. The 4r70 was starting to slip...
I saw a 2007 4.6L 4x4 long bed with 162k on the dash all white no rust on a lot, for $6,900 I didn't get it because all of those time chain, oil pump videos spooked me was that a good deal? Should I have gotten it I'm still having second thoughts
My 76 f100 with 300 inline 6 still running.
i have a 2001 ext cab xlt with 93000 miles, 4.6 auto. runs strong no leaks looks good very reliable. no need to sell it. no payments no high insurance. get me from point a to point b and back.
I miss the days of my crown vic. 360,000 miles before the body rotted out. I need another 4.6 in my life
Have a 2000 with the same engine. 239k miles and still going. Cosmetics are crap but im working on making it better looking. Its my project truck anyway
