Question How are the 2013 or so Coyote engines with higher mileage?

My son is looking at 2013 or so F-150's with the 5.0 engine, 100-130k mi. Aside from other vehicular issues and corrosion, how are these engines and transmissions doing at higher mileage? Thank you!!!

I have a coyote in my 11 mustang. Pretty close to the f150 version. 157,xxx miles. Runs incredibly well. Still can light them up through at least 3rd gear. No oil usage, no odd noises, etc. When well taken care of, coyotes are known to last.

Just make sure you change the oil and filter regularly. This is important to keep any engine running reliably, but especially so for these newer overhead cam engines that use oil pressure to adjust cam timing and maintain chain tension.

Obviously, this should be part of regular engine maintenance, which would also include regular maintenance of the cooling system.

Agee with the sentiment, buy I don't see the 5.0 being as persnickety as the earlier 4.6/5.4 mod motors. The oil pump gears are a week point but really are only an issue if boosting or hot rodding all the time. The 5.0 seems much more robust, not only in output, but also in longevity.

2012 with 149K, 25K towing RVs, no engine problems. I have had 2 of the coolant system o-rings go bad.

Just passed 160,000 on my Mustang.... 2011. 5.0 runs incredibly well. Not a truck, but pretty much the same motor. Love it.
