5.0 coyote is most reliable ford engine....

We talking pre or post wet belt oil pump?

Neither one affects reliability

So ~5 years is enough to establish that?

They’ve been out for 10 years in ecoboost engines with zero issues. The design is literally no different

Makes a better faaarhhht noise too.

The 5.0 in my 2012 GT burned about a quart between changes. I think that was the first gen Coyote. Ford likely resolved the issue (current is 4th gen?). Hopefully the hapless MT-82 trans issues were fixed, too.

Time will tell I guess. 17-20 were the worst years for oil consumption

Big fan of the Coyote engine, but I wouldn't say the 2.7/3.0 is less reliable from my personal experience.

Back before my Bronco journey began I had considered buying a base and swapping in the twin turbo coyote out of my F-150 into it, but ultimately decided against it.

I daily drove that thing for years and ran Rocky Mountain Race Week one year. I still itch for another single cab boosted 5.0 truck.

My oj Bronco came with a 5.0 in 93 and i sold it to a friend with 43k. A few years ago he offered it back to me because he couldn't sell it. I asked him why and he said he guessed cause of the 450,000 miles on it. He had meticulously cared for the Bronco and it looked good. He said the engine was untoched that he has used all synthetic oils, lubes like i had suggested. Yep. I would say the 5.0 is a good engine . He ended donating it for a tax write off.

I've never had an engine issue with any Ford product ever incl models years 1967, 68, 69, 70, 74,76, 79, 84, 94, 98, 2020, 2024 and any of the fleet trucks used in oil fields.

What kind oil weight did u use? Ford recommended 5w,20 first and issues with timing chain slap and oil consumption started showing.

I always use 5w30 or heavier in my 5.0 since new, never have those issues.

The old inline 4 from my 86 Escort GT beats them all. Ran 200k on 20/50 GTX and sold it still running with no leaks, phaser issues, wet belts or any other plastic crap. Powerless though.
