Looking at 2015-2016 crew cab f-150's for family hauler and light towing (like moving a baler).
The ones in the price range I want to be at are closing in on 100k miles. What I'm trying to gauge is whether the 5.0 or one of the ecoboost options would be more prone to expensive repair over the other. From what I've read, it seems that both of these are sensitive to maintenance and clean oil due to their relative mechanical complexity. Of course it's difficult to tell how well the last person treated it when you're looking at things on a dealer's lot and some unknown trade-in.
Are these too much of a gamble at that mileage? Are there known issues that are going to show up past 5 years and 100K?
