I'm a car nut and have owned a variety of vehicles, including Chevys and Toyotas. I just bought a 2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch. I love the look and feel of the older trucks vs the plasticy newer ones. When I bought it, it had the common exhaust manifold leak, which I fixed. It's been running great ever since. If you can afford it, my advice is to buy an older F-150, fix the known issues, and call it a day. You'll have a beautiful truck and no car payment.
T - Very true! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I have a 2010 F150 supercrew 4x4 with 202000 miles. It has been almost flawless probably 4,000 dollars in maintenance from 2010-2024. I’m still driving truck. Brakes, 1 spark plug coil.1 battery, oil changes.
J - Thanks for sharing your experience! Sounds like you take great care of it.
Very informative 😁
S - Thanks for the feedback! Glad we could help.
97 ford f150 xlt sidestep 5.4 2v. The original engine had a fist size hole in the block. So i bought another vehicle with a 5.4 triton for 500. It was a 98 expedition. Only drove in reverse. Rebuilt that engine for my truck. Starting at 157,400 miles. Now im 198,000+.
I dont understand how people can bash the 5.4.
S - Thanks for sharing your experience!
How are you Zach?Good I hope!I have that Modular 5.4 and the mechanic showed me just how bad those plugs can get.He gave me three of the plugs back and they had blown out-this is a 2012 Expedition and I have one window regulator that has gone out.Not many miles only 128,000 miles on it but my repair had more to do with age and maintenance because the truck mostly gets driven on the highway .I will let you know on how it does because my goal is to get 75,000 thousand more miles to reach my goal on the truck.
Derrick - Nice! Keep us posted on this. Hope you are able to hit your goal.
250k original miles my 2011 Expedition and still runs like new with few issues. Always run full synthetic and change 5-6k miles. I think after 2009 these motors were more bulletproof with the updates they received to fix those known issues.
M - Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like you take great care of it!
good vid , do this for chevy!
E - Not a bad idea, we will add it to the list.
You really glossed over how awful the 3.5L V6 is. I’m a Ford guy and I own an F-150. I hate the 3.5L Ecoboost and consider it one of the worst truck engines ever. If you’re getting an F-150, I would avoid anything that isn’t the 5.0L V8. I actively avoided the 3.5L Ecoboost like the plague. The timing chain likes to go and the turbos break among other issues. These repairs cost thousands
A - We don't think the 3.5 is really that "awful". But thanks for the insights.
I can’t agree with your assessment of the 10th gen f150, Mine spontaneously combusted in my driveway at 4am. I thank God I didn’t park it in my garage that night. Same thing happened to several others, according to a story on NBC news.
Sorry to hear that; that's certainly a scary and unfortunate situation. We haven't heard of that being a major or common thing on the 10th gen, but understand how that would quickly change ones opinion for the worse.
Wow so when my 2009 ford 4*4 platinum teams down jam going to get a 5.0 in it
O - How many miles is on it>
Does Ford install ZF transmission on F15,250? ? Thank you
Mike - They have used the ZF transmission in the past. Are you asking if they install it today?
@@8020Media
Yes. What's their transmission brand now? Thank you
Mike - They're using a 10R80 (10-speed automatic) or a 6R80 (6-speed automatic).
@8020Media
Is it reliable?
Are you interested Making a video about pick up truck transmissions?
It has been reliable so far. What exactly are you looking to do? We can look into this topic more.
What does anyone have to say about 2019 3.3 ford
M - This is very specific.. What are you wanting to know exactly.
5.4 VERY RELIABLE IF YOU DO 3000 MI OIL CHANGES
A - Certainly can be!
I do 5k. Either way helps as long as you do oil changes.
S - Well said!
❤🎉
Mike - Thanks for the feedback!
@8020Media
I watched many videos. Most of them talk about no sense.
You give most valued info , simple, useful.
Mike - That's what we strive to do. Thanks again!
98. 5:4. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👌👌👌👌
C - We agree!
@@8020Media My son has put his through 🔥🔥🔥 and has only had to replace his tortured 4 wheel drive ball joints.
Craw - Thanks for sharing your experience!
F-150 didn't come out until 1975
G - Thanks for the insight.
Geeech.. forget Ford too many problems....
Rafael - Unfortunately, vehicles aren't made like they used to.
Tell me GM or Rams are better…..
Every year I get close to buying a truck then I talk myself out of it. Think the reason is now it’s much more complicated to diagnose it by yourself and to expensive to take it in.
@@8020Mediabesides the brand new ones that are turbo charged, the Tacoma, T-100 and Tundra are proven and by far, the most reliable pick up trucks out there. With regular maintenance they will break 300K to 400k or even more with their original transmission and engine. I think I made I mistake buying a Ford.
M - Thanks for sharing this insight.
I’m never buying another Ford, Chevy, or Ram. They’re unreliable junk to say the least and definitely not worth the asking price.
97 4:6 triton 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
C - We've seen many 4.6's be good!
@@8020Media Don’t mean I didn’t get a lemon. I was the 2nd owner only 70:000 miles when I bought it and have treated it like a baby. Rear axle. Two new coils. Cracked head. Water pump. E brake cable. I will stop there.
Craw - Thanks for sharing your experience!
I heard that f150 2015 to 2017 are the best options with 5.0 and 6speed trans.
