Any good Ecoboost engine years?

According to our favorite Ford Tech, he sees a lot of junky EcoBoost engines. They are sooo much more common than the V8’s though. Is there a year in which they became decent?

price wise, I’m looking at 2010-2016 years.

The vibe I got looking at a ‘14 FX4 Tremor a while back was that it is 2nd Gen (2017-later) EcoBoost or bust.

Problem: You get stuck with the 10-speed.

Pick your poison. (F150Ecoboost.net has no problems letting you know the bad and ugly if you ask.)

To me, they're all fairly good.

From 2010-2016 it is more important to know how it has been maintained and treated.
