[QUOTE="Bauer, post: 269221, member: 775"] I own a '16 Explorer Sport with the 3.5L ecobeast. What an engine ill tell you that! I have been in both 2.7L and 3.5L F-150, both have their place in the world. As stated above, 2.7 for mileage. 3.5 if you remotely pull anything at all. I would also see if you can get away from the 10spd transmission. It is a gear hunting, laggy, drive you crazy kind of transmision. My 6spd is not at all like that, nor are the F-150 with the 6spd. I pulled my Lund 186GL from West Fargo to Garrison 80mph on interstate 23mpg there (empty) and 14mpg on the way home. Motor felt like it was made to do it, my only complaint was the turbo gasses melted 2 nice grapefruit sized holes in my towtector ;:;rofl Unless you are buying a used 1st gen, I don't think there is much to worry about on failures. Typical run of the mill luck to see if you get a good one or not, nothing different than buying any other make or model. Either way, I don't think you will be disappointed. [/QUOTE]
