I'm curious if there is anyone on here that has over 100K miles on their 2.7 EB?
If so, what if any issues have you experienced with this engine?

Did you have any issues prior to needing a replacement motor. Has the new one shown any signs of anything negative. Some may get 300k some may get 60k there are a lot of other factors to consider. I do see a valid point in figuring a baseline, but everyone’s mileage will vary. I have a 99f250 7.3 in my driveway that is all factory minus water pump and alternator that’s got 525,000 on it and it’s still running good. Most won’t see anywhere close to that. So consider any other mileage, but at the end of the day it’s what you are comfortable doing. I know a few Ford techs personally and they strongly recommend the 5.0 is the motor to get. They simply see far less of them coming in for service.I started this thread because I'm considering trading in for a new model. I absolutely love my 2016 but I'm now second guessing long term reliability. I'm coming up on 44K miles but my engine was replaced at 28K. I'm wondering if I can expect to get at least 250K out of the new engine with its 1st gen direct injection setup. I really love my truck and had planned to keep it forever but now I am thinking I should trade in before the mileage gets any higher.
My old engine ran great up to the day it was replaced. My truck fell in the Apr16-Jan17 build date range and had a smoking on startup issue. Turns out there was metal all in the oil system. The new engine seems flawless so far.Did you have any issues prior to needing a replacement motor. Has the new one shown any signs of anything negative.
That's actually the engine I'm considering. I know they see less 5.0's in the shop but there's also less of them being sold. I think 1 in 3 new F150's sold has a V8 now.I know a few Ford techs personally and they strongly recommend the 5.0 is the motor to get. They simply see far less of them coming in for service.

Glad to hear about the 160K 2.7 out there!My 2.7 only has 23800 miles on it. No issues at all. I'm using Motorcraft semi/syn and a Motorcraft filter and using approx 7000 miles as my change interval. I have a friend that delivers "emergency" parts all over the Southeast for a local industrial supply company. Pat's 2016 2.7 XL Super Crew 2wd had crossed 160,000 miles when I spoke with him a couple of weeks ago. He also uses the Motorcraft semi/syn and changes the oil per the oil life monitor, which has been every 10,000 miles. No catch can. No new plugs every 20,000 miles. No issues...at all.
43k on my 2016 right now, bought the 100k warrranty with it , Option 1 is to sell it privately at 90k in 2 years. Ford mechanics will tell you the turbos start having issues after 100k miles. but so do all vehicles somewhat, fed with consistent oil changes (5k for me) im sure on average you will be able to get 150 to 200k out of them. May go for the diesel version, not sure. at this point. Plan 2 , buy two brand new turbochargers and install them myself at 90k miles. Sell the used but working turbos on ebay, people with a failed turbo will buy them. I am going to do this first on my kids ford fusion ecoboost and see how it goes. Run truck to 199k and sell.I'm curious if there is anyone on here that has over 100K miles on their 2.7 EB?
