Ford 5.0L Engine issues

I really don’t think his issue would qualify as being good “build quality”

Swore off Fords many years ago. Tundras may not have good mpg but you don’t usually have problems like this. Just the way it is.

Good mpg, features, build quality, comfort, etc are things you forgo when you buy a Toyota

The 5.4s were also said to have cam phaser issues as well. Never had a problem with them on my
2006 F150 that I just sold but then again it only had 98K on it and I used Mobil 1 in it the entire time.

It’s the 2018+ ones.


The 18+ raptor ecoboost has issues with cam phasers

I've grumbled on here before but now we have a second truck in our fleet with the cam phaser issue that has the 5.0L engine. The first truck, a 2016, had 109K on it when it happened. Now the second truck, a 2018, has 49K on it. It was $2,200 to repair the first one, this second one is under warranty, so off to the stealership we go....

Buyer beware of post 2016 Ford 5.0L engines.
