2016 F150 with 2.7l ecoboost - have questions

[coloyooper]

Anybody in here have experience with the truck/engine listed above? Have heard of some possible transmission issues but not as much of an issue with the 6 speed in the 2.7? I’m not much of a gear head so hoping to get some input. Have found a couple that seem reasonably priced and am looking to upgrade from a 2010 Tacoma (more room for kids in the back). Thanks all

I had that engine in a 4door and hated, poor mileage and not much pep. Stock tires also. Didn’t have it long enough to have tranny issues.

I got a 2021 2.7l with the 10 speed tranny. I really like it and avg 20 mpg.

If you don't need the power (more than 300 or so) the base v6 in the ram and ford are very reliable and lower cost to buy/operate.

I have a 2021 F150 super crew 5.5’ bed with 2.7l and 10 speed. I upgraded from a 2010 Tacoma. I love it. I average 21mpg, tow a 21’ boat, back seat is great for kids, quieter smoother. The 10 speed took some getting used to but I would not go back to a Tacoma and I liked that truck too. Currently have 52k on the F150.

76,000 on a 2019 crew cab 5.5ft bed. Super happy with the drive train and truck. 23mpg average over my last 737mi and plenty of power should I need it. Tows the boat or airstream just fine. Only thing I'd change is a longer bed.

If it was wrecked today I'd buy another.

FYI they changed the block in 2018 or 2019.
