I have a 2019 F-150. It has the ten speed automatic transmission, and the second iteration of the 2.7L V6 Ecoboost. The mileage is currently 13,780. I've had only a minor issue with the transmission. A software update resolved it. The MAF was replaced under warranty. Outside of that, it runs great. I am modest at best in my driving habits, and oil changes are well within what is recommended. I plan to change the transmission fluid at 30,000 the first time, and every 60,000 thereafter. Provided I continue to baby the vehicle, what is the life expectancy I might anticipate for the engine especially? I understand the engine strain from added pressure through forced induction.
The 2.7 ecoboost is not the best engine that ford currently makes. Since you're driving a pickup truck, you MUST take care of that engine. As far as the transmission goes, also baby that transmission but I wouldn't recommend changing the fluid because it may have more problems than what you currently have.
There wasn’t a lot of R&D with the 2.7 as there was with the 3.5 eco. Those motors have a ton of plumbing in them which is more to go wrong and shorter maintenance intervals. My top priority to keep that 2.7 healthy is oil change at 4K mi even with full synthetic, spark plug change every 60k mi and not a mi more the ecos eat through sparks.
I change the oil about every 3,000 miles. It is loaded with alot of plumbing for sure. I have a K&N air filter, and religiously clean it. Thanks for the tip on the spark plugs. I'll commit that to memory. The transmission isn't the best that Ford has come up with. I am in no way heavy on the accelerator. I'll do everything I can to extend the life of that powertrain.
@navyseabee you’re already ahead of the game then. I do not believe in these 7500-10000 mi OCIs considering most Americans are doing multiple short trips and around town driving oil gets dirty real fast even with synthetic oils. Agreed on the 10 speed. I believe it has potential but Ford has not worked on perfecting it nor is it their focus. My opinion is make sure that transmission fluid is clean and come to a complete stop before shifting into reverse or drive. I think you have the potential of getting to 250k mi with the 2.7. I’d be prepared to replace turbo around 150-200k mi
I have a co worker with the 2.7 and he got his turbo to 200k mi before replacing so it can be done.
