I have been looking at this vehicle, with a v8.Â* Which engine do you

Actually the normally aspirated 5.0 V8


I assume you mean fuel injected. I have the 5.0 V8 in my 2013 F150.
There was nothing like a "break in" period. It really hasn't changed
much since (better with winter blends).


Non Turbo, but yes it think it has 16 injectors... I don't keep up
anymore.




This is my first Ford ever. My wife and I were looking for a very
comfortable truck to travel in. Since August 2019 we gave been from
Houston Tx to Oklahoma, Indiana, Ohio on one trip and last month to
Roanoke Va.
This truck is VERY comfortable, King Ranch.

I had a 2007 Tundra with the 5.7 V8.
That truck spoiled me. The engine was the best I ever had in any
vehicle. Its gas mileage was good for a 2007 in 2007, not so good
today. BUT wow that truck would det up an do. The low rear end gear
ratio wand the culprit for the low gas mileage but give it the punch.

My current F150 has a much taller rear end gear ratio and has less punch
but we get a legitimate 19 MPG on the highway. The dash computer says
21-22 but comes out to a real 19.

The oil consumption issue is a common complaint for 2018~2020 IIRC. I
think it is just a very slow break in period. Once the consumption went
away and a fuel additive to rid the carbon build up the not clattering
for 7K.

FWIW an oil change requires 8.8 quarts... That might be an indicator
that break in takes a long time.

Would I buy again? Hard to say. The Tundra seemed to be a much tougher
truck. The aluminum body on the Ford seems kinda thin in the bed.


I wouldn't be happy with an aluminum anything. It's hard to "bang
out" and overly susceptible to dings. IMO, it makes no sense as a
truck bed.


I would not be banging out, the body shop can deal with it.
