Ford F-150 | Ecoboost vs. 5.0 V8 (I've owned both)

Jeep Gladiator Review! https://youtu.be/fMOtcX1oXxo Ram 1500 Rebel Review! https://youtu.be/KR8s65bw32w

The answer is simple, put a turbo system on a 5.0!

For the money they want for these trucks, they should be just about perfect. Can't believe people put down $65,000 on a new truck and then have a hard time keeping it out of the repair shop. For that much money it should be rock solid and dependable.

I had a 2016 Navigator I sold a few months ago, and I had 260,000 miles with very minimal issues. My only repairs were the radiator fan and rear the AC blower fan. That 3.5 EcoBoost was so awesome! I upgraded for a 17 Navigator just for requirements for my limo license. Biggest key is keep clean oil in that motor!

I usually don't like purely talking videos... but there was so much information and useful 1st-hand experience related here, I hardly noticed the 1/2 hr going by. Thx!!

Great content from someone that has actually owned and experienced both rather than some forum posting person that has owned neither and just regurgitates what they hear from other people.

I’ve had a 2011 f150 5.0 and now a 2017 f150 platinum 5.0. I just love that v8 motor it’s so awesome! Solid engine

Much love for posting the torque charts and all the great details you mentioned! Great video.

Dude, this is the best automotive video I’ve seen in a while. You made a lot of good points here. Thank you

Excellent job breaking down key decision points, I just went through this process myself on these engine options. I'm a turbo guy from waay back, that low end torque is great. My biggest benefits are that torque especially for towing and putting a smile on my face when needed. The 2017 Gen 2 update and 10 speed trans a plus also. Maintenance doesn't bother me I'm happy to do it, frequent synthetic oil changes are key. I do love the Coyote, but couldn't resist the EB's torque charms. Nice video, very informative.

Thank you for such informative video. Your spec slide on the 2nd gen eco boost showed a black screen if you wonder about feedback on the video production but your explanation and charts did it for me. I went for the 2017 King Ranch with the 3.5 eco boost from my 2009 F150 King Ranch with the original 5.4 V8 (and 190,000 miles after). I think I chose right but time will tell. Stay safe!

I got the powerboost a couple months ago after driving the 5.4L triton V8 for twenty years and I couldn't be happier!

Your video and detailed discussion of the pros and cons of different engines was excellent. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge.

My Ecoboost has 154,000 mi on it and it's never had any problems. It's a very reliable truck

Very well articulated description of the engines

Very informative and unbiased. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Great video. I've owned a 2013 f150 5.0, 2019 F250 Powerstroke, and now the 2021 Powerboost. The Powerboost hybrid is my favorite engine so far.

Best honest review on both engines.

very helpful, as usual! Really appreciate your review & comparison vids. Thanks 👍

Nice informative video... I drive a 2012 eccoboost and love it.. ive replaced plugs and coils as they go out but no other major issues as of yet.. I do believe regular maintenance is key..oil changes every 5k.. im nearing 300k on the odometer and still pulls strong. Again.. thanks for the informative video
