I picked up a surplus 2011 Ford F-150 that was former power company truck yesterday and its got the 5.0 litre V8 engine... The truck has 136k miles on it but starts and runs as it should and feels like it has tons of power. I was told it has been well maintained and not abused and it appears so. I was told the power company took it to the dealership on time for everything. With that in mind Im not use to this engine... hoping someone in here was. I was wondering what the reputation on these are for longevity.. I was having some sort of mystery electrical problem with my Ranger and didn't feel like contending with it anymore. The dealership took my 2010 Ranger in an Even swap for the F-150 "as-is". There was no cash that changed hands. I am more then happy with the deal. But just sitting here. with a bad case of insomnia waiting for my sleeping pill to kick in. wondering how far i can hope to get out of this one... I didnt want to start a vehicle payment... so hoping to make the best of this one.
So anyway whats your opinion on the 5 litre ford engine?
