I originally wasn’t very familiar with the ecoboosts and do at first I just totally ignored them. I already had a 5.0 Mustang so when I started shopping f150s I figured I’d go for the same in the truck. However, inventory issues got me started on looking into the ecoboosts. After taking time to learn about them I ended up being impressed by the 2.7. It’s actually a very heavily built motor. Four bolt mains, compacted graphite iron block (afaik the only production gasoline engine to use it), an aluminum ladder frame block skirt, forged everything (pistons, con rods, crank, and cams) semi-open engine deck as opposed to the open deck 5.0 and 3.5 ecoboost, monolithic head and exhaust manifold and is just physically more compact (which should inherently add strength) with a very high lubricant capacity per displacement (2.22 qts per liter of displacement in a shorter block design vs 1.6 qts per liter in the 5.0, and 1.7 qts per liter in the 3.5 [2.24 qts per liter in the 6.7 powerstroke] ) and overall, much fewer moving parts than the 5.0 V8. In 2018 and up, the engine has port injection to reduce intake valve, spark plug and injector fouling, electronic wastegates as opposed to mechanical, hollow cam shafts which reduce rotating mass, improved throttle response, efficiency, and theoretically put less strain on the timing chain, increasing service life. They also seem stupidly easy to maintain, adopting the top cartridge oil filter, a toolless oil pan plug (similar to the 5.0), easy access valve covers, and just being very compact in the engine compartment so plenty of room to reach around in there. Arguably it should probably be the base engine in the F-250, as it's towing fuel economy is roughly equal, or sometimes better than the 5.0 for the same load, and it just utterly destroys the 5.0 in a truck application with its broad torque curve (the 5.0, is quite peaky) As all direct injection engines go, and even moreso with these as it's forced induction with forged pistons, they do experience a fair amount of crank case intrusion from blow by, increasing fuel dilution of the engine oil. So I’m gonna be changing the oil at around 6500 miles since these days I mainly drive short distances which don't necessarily allow proper warm up of the pistons, so seals will not get an opportunity to optimize. This situation is true for the 5.0 and 3.5 eco as well. Physically, it is the heaviest built engine available for the F-150, betraying the idea that smaller displacement = weaker. The only technical service bulletins that crop up with the2018+ 2.7 are limited lot supply and manufacturing defects, not design issues. So after a lot of studying I may daresay this is the best engine Ford has created in over 40 years. Maybe that's why it's the basis for most of their new product lineup. It's like the 289, they put it in everything

Overall, my 2wd 6.5 ft bed f-150 has been great! The ride is comfortable, the truck is stylish, and it hauls everything the average suburban household would need it to (firewood, gokart, bed box). There are a few factors that prevent me from giving this truck 5 stars, primarily the quality of the interior and some exterior panel gaps, the exterior door handles also feel a bit cheesy. Note I understand I got an XL, but there are clear interior imperfections. The transmission and engine power is perfect for what you pay for. For a base truck powerplant, it gets the job done, and gets decent gas mileage. I would consider getting another, but I would get the coyote v8.

I purchased a 2018 f150 5.0 10 sp trans in Sept of 18. The ride is a little rough. The trans seems to get a little confused reducing sps and then accelerating. I coast a lot and try to keep a constant sp in traffic and yet the MPG is very disappointing. Overall i would advise buyers to to compare other manufacturers . I didnt as i have purchased 11 new F series. Really disappointed in my last two. I think i will take my own advice next time. We pay a lot of money to be disappointed! I have owned the truck almost two years and 24,000 miles. It runs good although i am very disappointed in the MPG. I average 16.1 with all my coasting. The sticker says between 18 and 23 MPG. I call that corporate BS. Big corporations will do and say anything for profit. Very disappointed in Ford. Nobody coasts more than i do as i look at the fuel graph and make sure i dont suck the gas down.As far as a truck it works very well. I have 10 spd trans along with a bed cover and Ford promoting they reduced the weight 750 pounds from previous Model years. My previous model was was a 2009 4 door 6 spd trans 750 pounds heavier hauling more heavy drywall materials on the bed constantly with the troublesome 5.4 motor and i averaged 15.5 MPG. BS BS BS on the sticker advertisement. Dont make the same mistake i did , RESEARCH OTHER TRUCKS.
