I've never been a Ford fan, my Father in Law loves Fords, had a nice 2013 Platinum with the coyote 5.0, was a nice truck, it should have been as it cost $50,000 , he never keeps a vehicle over 50,000 miles. All I know, is he looses about 50% value when he sells them and they are generally in better shape when he sells them than they were new. For some stupid reason, he sold it and bought a 2020 Platinum ecoboost. I will never own any vehicle that you pull the cab off the frame to do engine work, so that rules Fords out. BTW, my 02 Suburban is setting on 285K miles, original motor, original transmission. I've had to replace the circulation pump twice, swapped the hoses out while I was at it, had a leaking heater hose fitting last year and had to replace the plastic quick connect. Regularly changed fluids and filters. Biggest thing was replacing the oil pump pickup o-ring. Dropped the pan without any trouble( 2wd). Last trip to Sneads Ferry, I hand calculated 17 mpg average.
