Just this video from Town and Country Ford ranking ford engines based on their dealerships repair history. Interesting video to watch if you like data.

 

1. 6.2L Boss
2. 7.3L Godzilla
3. 6.8L Godzilla
4. 6.7L PowerStroke

I disagree with him about the 6.2L being less stressed because it just wasn't that powerful. The 6.2L had a higher hp/L than the Godzilla, especially in the higher output F150/Raptor versions. The 6.2L had a 12 year lifespan, Ford had a lot of time to refine the design from lessons learned from the Modular V8's from which it was based.

I wish he would have went back further with SuperDuty engines and included the 6.8L V10, 7.3L IDI, 5.4L (2v/3v), 6.4L PSD, 6.0L PSD.

Dead last would have to be the 5.4L 3V.

Watched the F150 Section too:

1. 3.3L
2. 5.0L
3. 2.7L Turbo
4. 3.5L Turbo
5. 3.5L Turbo PowerBoost
6. 3.5L Turbo HO
7. EV

 

You missed the 6.0/6.4 era.

 

The 7.3L is a good example of how "based on forums like this" you'd think every engine is on the edge of blowing up. Their service departments (sounds like they have more than one dealership) would rank it closer to the 6.2L which I've owned and it was solid.

I the F150 stuff was really interesting, not surprised by the 3.3L NA V6 or the Coyote being next. A bit surprised by the 2.3L eco being more reliable than the 2.7L eco. They've built so many 2.7L eco's in the F150 you'd think they would be better at it.

 

The 6.2/6R140 was a very reliable drive train.
Very.

 

yep. Edited.

 

No one ‘missed’ that era…

 

Whats missing here?

How many have been built? These videos are a waste of time because they look at what came in the door, but totally exclude how many are actually on the road. To put it in a better perspective, lets see the percentage of repairs to the amount actually built. Between 2011 and 2017 for the first Gen 3.5 EB, there were 4.6 million F150's sold. How many have the 3.5? How many the 5.0? 2018 and up the numbers sold were even higher at around 900K per year so 5.4 million of the Gen 2.

Now show the number of repairs based on number in operation. Statistically there will always be a higher number of repairs when there are higher numbers in use, so with out that, this videos are useless.

 

I liked my 2.7 eco more than my 3.5 eco. Was hot, sounded better too. Neither one will tow a lot comfortably regardless of what they are rated for.

 

True.

But the sound of a 6.0.... music.

 

I curently own a F150 with the 6.2 that I bought new. Not a single problem at 120K miles. Hope I don't kick myself in the *** buying a 2026 F250 with the 7.3.

 

That sweet turbo whistle was music to my ears. Something I miss with my 6.7PSD

 

I always felt the 6.2L in the F150 was an under appreciated option. Overshadowed by the Coyote and EcoBoost.

I tried finding one back then but couldn’t find one in my price range, ended up settling with a EcoBoost instead.

 

I had th 7.3 PS with a DP Tuner, Wicked Wheel and real dual exhaust. Damn thing ran decent and sounded sweet.

 

To each their own, I know, but a V8 diesel sounds like absolute garbage. That ungodly popping/raspy sound they make when pushed hard makes me want to stab my ear drums with a screwdriver.

Now a straight-6 is where the good music is!
