Come on, don't be a dumb***. You seriously think the reason you don't see 200K mile Ecoboosts is because they all blow up before then? Is there some secret junkyard in the sky where all the Ecoboosts go to die before 200K miles?
Now I do have something that is important to talk about. Seriously, listen up, this is really important..... I just discovered this forum is lacking a "head slap" smilie.
We've got to do something about that.
Wrong again. My Ecoboost is the one that will be loafing when the 5.4L is at max effort. All engines wear out eventually and the harder you run them the quicker they wear out. You'd have to drive a 5.4L like a bat out of hell trying to keep up with me, and it still won't keep up, but it will go to the graveyard first while trying. You can't run a 5.4L the way I can run my Ecoboost. Dream on, boy!

The 5.4L got the 6-speed transmission for the '09-'10 model years.
How about this guy?
Update: Just hit 280,000 miles on 2011 !!
Or this one?

Yes, this is the kind of hardcore research that we need around here. I would have never believed a modern F150 could have gone 100K miles if you hadn't proved it.
And I am astonished by your inability to resolve the obvious for yourself. You haven't even asked a question yet that requires knowledge to answer.
So let's get down to brass tacks. You don't want an Ecoboost; you have a pre-disposed opinion it is problematic; and the questions that you do ask are only thinly disguised statements, not questions. So what's the end game here, bud?

Ok guys, looking for some advice here. 2013 ECOBOOST 4x4 with 80k miles. Timing chain rattles like crazy upon initial start up, but thats not the problem. The motor has started knocking and I am being told its the #2 cylinder on the passenger side and I need a new motor. My purchasing dealership told me I was out of warranty (the truck is out by 20k) and my local dealership is unwilling to help since I didnt buy it from them. I understand that things go bad sometimes with trucks, but the complete lack of assistance at all has me very frustrated. I bought the truck new in Feb of 14' and now the motor is shot! Pulling my hair out here......

Correct me if I am wrong, but the air in the intercooler is already metered. If so, then the 12 psi of post turbo compressed air pressure cooling off in the intercooler is now also leaking out of that 1/16" hole. This is going to affect the fuel/air mixture of the engine, is it not?
I drilled mine about 6 months ago, nothing really came when I drilled it out but I can see where there's a small oily stain on the inside of the air dam. Most likely that's occurring when I stomp on it. Mine is performing the same after drilling the hole as it did before, same MPG's, same power.
