re: F-150 2.7 EcoBoost

I sell used vehicles for a living, in Montana, where we see thousands of trucks traded in a year.
We get a LOT of EcoBoost F150s traded in with between 90k and 110k miles. They do not age well and have lots of pricey issues as the miles increase. Oil lines to the turbos, turbos themselves, timing chains, head gaskets are all weak points. We wholesale a large portion of the over-100k EcoBoosts we get on trade, because a lot of them are too fricked up to be worth keeping.
Granted, these are all things that apply to the 3.5L specifically. Maybe the 2.7L is better. I have no experience with those.
Bottom line is, I see hundreds of used EcoBoost F150s a year, and based on my experience, I wouldn’t buy one with more than 50k miles.

Say it with me.
There's.
No.
Replacement.
For.
Displacement.
Heat, pressure and RPMs is what kills engines.
There's a reason nearly half of the best engines of all the time are all naturally aspirated inline 6s.
Inline.
Long-stroke.
Breathe naturally.
