Way more 4.7's have done that than 5.7's, not even close really, as long as those 4.7's got their timing belts serviced every 100k or less.
I've known two 1st gen Tundra owners who have hit 500k on their 4.7s. I've still got a ways to go, but it's been bulletproof so far. I do change the oil regularly and keep it well maintained.

Right. His Tundra had the 4.7L engine.

The appropriate answer is, "Any of them as they are all great." No one has said that which is in itself an indictment of Ford.

This shows me why people still buy other trucks. In the time it took you to try to prove someone one wrong you could have used Google to see SEVERAL 5.7’s have turned over a million miles. But you looked so cool there for a second didn’t you……RESEARCH BEFORE TOU SPEAK

WRONG and you doubled down the other guy that has no clue what he was talking about. Try using GOOGLE. The same guy that did it on the 4.6 did it with the 5.7 Just google MILLION MILE MOTOR. And to make it even the best you even used the wrong Cubic inch LOL. Have a good day and stop pretending you know what you’re talking about

You're really upset about this.

Coworker has one too, 300k+ on it but it definitely has leaking cam seals and linked him to a kit that has a package of OEM parts to do a full service. Most truck engines of the late 1990's to early 2000's are solid with just basic maintenance.

I can confirm this. My 2018 had 2 cam phaser jobs under warranty and then my transmission went out after warranty expired at 80k miles. I traded it it after all that.
I got one that already has a new style CDF drum (at 65k miles ??) but I’m on original cam phasors but I think running Rotella 5W-40 has helped me get to 100k miles on those cam phasors but they do rattle on a cold start for like a quarter second now. I have a 2013 with 6 speed with over 200k miles that is all original.

The newer ones without the variable oil pump are actually very good. I doubt anything will ever be as simple as the old small blocks again, but their new L84 version of the 5.3L motor seems to have largely resolved the lifter failures since it never starves them of oil.
That makes the newer 5.3L's one of my favorite current pickup/SUV motors along with the more complex but higher performance 5.0L Ford.

That oil certainly helped. Melling makes a high volume/pressure oil pump for 3V Tritons and helps solve the issue almost entirely and it's something that can be done in conjunction with a cam phaser replacement. The main reason the 3V Tritons have these issues is due to Ford not upgrading the oil pump that carried over from the 2V engines, the extra oil volume needed by the cam phasers just can't be reliably supplied by the stock pump, especially as tolerances open up due to normal wear and the 5W-20 oil shears out of weight with use. The upgraded pump can supply what is needed even with 5W-20 oil but 5W-30 is still recommended.

Nothing seems to work well with 0w-20

No just upset of people just talking out their arse so sure of what they are saying and in the end they are wrong on all accounts. This with the world of information in their hands

I'm so sorry that you are an idiot. Your parents must have felt so disappointed at first, before they just got used to that feeling. But you did learn how to use the Caps Lock -- clever you.

I think this is the most important part regardless of what brand you buy. I've had very good luck with Ford, Ram and Toyota trucks going well over 100,000 miles without any issues. The only one that comes to mind is a leaky rear window in the Ram and a Starter on the Toyota. All taken care of with little effort or cost.
The key is that whatever the service intervals are, halve it. If the oil change interval says 10k miles, do it in 5 or less. Transmission fluid service every 30k miles if the book says 60, same for the differential. Is all that necessary? Maybe not. Is it more expensive? Sure, but staying ahead of the maintenance intervals will do wonders for overall reliability.

I bought my son a 23 ford bronco. Haven’t driven a ford in a long time but for some reason the interior just looks “cheap” even down to the door open tone. It has been great for him and a very nice looking vehicle…it just lacks on interior aesthetics to me.
Sharp looking bronco though.

I think the oil change interval on my Tundra is 7.5k miles. I do it between 4-5k. So many of it's 350k miles are highway miles and a V8 just kind of purrs at 70mph.

I had a 2017 F250 work truck that had 245k miles. I just got a new one and that 17 drove better than this new one.
