Mixed. Excellent capability, but the 10R80 shudder, 3.5L EcoBoost cam phaser issues, and 5.0L oil consumption drag down the year. Verify TSB updates are completed before buying.
2.7L EcoBoost has the cleanest reliability record. 3.5L EcoBoost has cam phaser concerns. 5.0L Coyote has oil consumption complaints. Avoid the 3.0L Power Stroke unless the EGR-cooler TSBs are completed.
Yes. The 10R80 has well-documented shudder and harsh shifts. Class action Zaback v. Ford settled in 2022 with TCM updates and reimbursement.
250K+ miles is achievable with diligent maintenance. The truck itself outlasts most powertrains; budget for transmission service every 60K and phaser/oil consumption fixes as needed.
Only if the cam phaser TSB (21-2103) is completed or the truck shows zero cold-start knock and is priced accordingly. Repair runs $3-5K otherwise.
Yes, including a DRL software recall (20V-332) and several engine/transmission-related TSBs. Verify VIN at NHTSA.gov.
