Buying a new F-150 in the next week or two. I was sold on the 5.0 v8 because it is tried and true, and gets good mileage in MY18 trucks due to dual injection and 10 speed transmission. But after seeing pricing and options for towing packages with diffetent engines, I am thinking of looking into the 3.5L Ecoboost.
Starting MY18 the Ecoboost is dual injected so no worry about dirty valves. But I worry about the turbo reliability. I dont understand them well enough to be confident they are good or bad in terms of reliability.
Does the turbo portion need to be rebuilt after a while? Expensive to repair?
Any info on this engine or turbos in general appreciated. I plan to keep this truck a long time.
