early truck coyotes had a hit or miss problem with MASSIVE oil consumption. they're all fucked in early productionI'm just sick of people spewing shit, if they're actually unreliable, I'd like to know so I can sell ours
But like I said, when it comes down to it, it's just hearsay.

"Listen bro, LS are great bro, all you gotta do is change the camshaft and lifters and block an oil passage and reprogram it then its better than anything Ford ever did bro"That's every story of eb problems too, 2011 or 2012. You think maybe they mad le improvements during 12 years of production?
I've said it before but the internet lives to hate fords. Meanwhile a hemi is eating its valve train and an LS is having whatever dod issues they have and everyone ignores it
This is what I have. 2013 Escalade with the 6.2. The escalade was cheaper than any yukon or tahoe, because people who want escalades want new ones. My 1-ton swapped land cruiser on a 16' flat deck is right at the towing limit. I tow very infrequently, so its a calculated risk that I am taking.
We bought our '18 in '21, and noticed something similar. My wife wanted the loaded version (it's her car), which meant Tahoe Premier, Yukon Denali, or Escalade. They were all priced similarly, even though the Escalades originally stickered for more. She preferred the styling of the Yukon, so that's what we bought.

I’ve got 180k on the 2013 F150 my wife mostly drives. Max tow and heavy payload packages. Tows a three horse gooseneck just fine maybe ten or twelve times a year. Still chugging along just fine.What's thier experience?
How is it high strung? They will pull at a much lower rpm than an equivalent V8 with double the displacement.
Hurdur, can't replace muh John deere
Wtf does that have to do with pulling a car trailer? No where did anyone suggest an ecoboost for towing every single day. For exactly what the op asked about, it would be a great fit. Imo, they are just as reliable as the same Era V8s from my experience and everything I've read.
I’ve always said I’d love to see an eco boost in a bigger truck.I agree with all of this.
You should make a You tube channel about 3.5eb swapping your F550 and break the internet

My dads got timing chains at 130 and 180
You can say that about a lot of things.
The crew cab shortbed 250/350 has mostly replaced the large suv as a tow rig. It’s a shame but it is what it is. You could probably correlate the downfall of our society with the cancellation of truck based Broncos and K5’s and the inevitable need to make suburbans and expeditions ride like cars. Basically, if Ford had kept a solid front axle in the third gen Bronco and added a third row of seats, we wouldn’t be beset with trannies and pronouns today. Or maybe they’d have done so if it weren’t for all the trannies and pronouns. I dunno.
I'm not saying you're wrong, because that timeline lines up. Is the new Bronco Ford's way of trying to right the wrong?
Maybe, but Caesar had long since passed that Rubicon and we’re on whatever road to hell it is that we find ourselves on. I’ve got a ‘21 4 door Bronco that I like for hauling my kids around and an extended cab flatbed F350 for anything else. That’s my suggestion, find a way to do it with two vehicles you like and make somebody else drive one so that you can split up your family time combinations.I'm not saying you're wrong, because that timeline lines up.

It sounds like what you need most is a Tahoe or a Suburban. You could find the newest one you like, buy it, give it an actual try and see if it does everything just the way you need it to. If not, sell it and try something else.
I grew up around people doing the exact same thing my dad was doing. I was always envious of the kids who’s dad was hauling them around in a Suburban. My dads best friend had 6 children and hauled them around in a Scottsdale Suburban with 4 rows of seats. I loved getting to ride in it occasionally, so much room for activities.
This is my experience, a 7.3/4speed is not as good tow platform as we remember.
I agree and see it all the time on Facebook posts with guys who just bought their first diesel. They usually say I was told diesels will pull anything but it’s slow!!! I have no towing experience with the ecoboost but people do over hype the old 7.3s. Doing some mods goes a long way like bigger injectors and a turbo make them much more enjoyable.
