Just rolled through 100,000 miles on my 6.2. First maintenance on engine other than oil and filters. 16 spark plugs for $80 plus labor. Also need drain and refill coolant, dex-cool.
Am super happy. Mobil 1 0w-30 oil ever 5000 miles. Lots of WOT towing at time 15 minutes at redline climbing mountains towing my 8000 lb trailer. Super pleased.

That's awesome Ed! I only put about 7,000 miles a year on mine, so that means I should have about 25 or so more years. 
Sheesh, at my age, I just hope I live that long!

6.2L V8 feedback/problems
Hey Gents,
I have a 2011 with 65K on it. Absolutely love the truck! second time owner on this one. I believe it was used prior as a plow truck. Plow wasn't on it when I bought it. Right now it's in the shop for exhaust manifolds. Driver side cracked near firewall. Had plugs put in it as well , while dissembled. No issues with oil consumption, but had the oil, and tranny dipstick holders replaced as well. both were heavily corroded and notice when doing the manifolds. Tranny stick was just beginning to leak. not sure if the manifold issue is the infamous issue Ford had with the Triton engines. Always been a Ford fan This is my 12th Ford. Had the V10 before that, but kept popping plugs.

Good friend of mine (mechanic)and ford F150 truck owner told me today that the 6.2 engines are starting to have engine failures.He told me he spoke to local ford dealer mechanics and they now have 3 fords(6.2 engines)in shop with bad engines.I say BS.I have not heard of any catastrophic failures.
