Can't say that sucks because I think you actually made out. I did a lot of research before I picked one of the two and the 2.7 suited my needs more. I even came from the 13 bigger engine eco to the 18 smaller engine eco and couldn't be happier.

BTW Echo makes outdoor power equipment and I don't believe they make engines for Ford.

Hey, we went from 5.4L to 3.5 to 2.7.... imagine the MPGs on a turbo boosted 30cc 2 stroke motor. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

The 2.7TT owes everything to the 3.5TT as it paved the way.

The Gen II 3.5TT has been very good since it's introduction because what they learned since the original introduction of the Gen I 3.5TT. The 3.5TT in the current gen trucks has been a good engine. IMO it's been as reliable as the 2.7TT

Stats anyone?

OP: Your recourse is going back to the dealer and talking to the GM . It's the only way this can be made right.
Oh stop pitnicking! 15 and 16 had the same 3.5 that came out in 2011, so Stats are Stats when comparing engines. When the 3.5, yes that same 3.5 that is in the 15 and 16 models, came out it was a troublesome engine. When the 2.7 came out, it was not, and you said it yourself, because they learned from the 3.5. So you yourself just corroborated what I said.

Nit picking?

I'm talking about today, not 2011. You're going to compare todays engine(s) against one that's 9 years old now?

Stats? You don't have any. Why would you just pull some out of your ***? Oh, I read it on the forum, on the internet.

C'mon man.

Tell me about it, dude from the Ford dealer I got my 15 from gave me the map sd card for my GPS that I don't have on my Ford Touch head unit. Plus I had to figure out on my own that all 15 and up F150s came with the trans cooler, and Sports mode (all thanks to this forum) before I purchased the vehicle from them. Fortunately I knew I was getting a 2.7 EB. Definitely need to do your due diligence.

I can see you failed to read the OP's post. He was looking at a 2015, which if he got one with the 3.5 that he wanted would be the same 3.5 that came in the 2011. Whatever dude. You are one of those on this forum always looking to argue over BS, so stick it.

Yes indeed but certainly worth a good laugh. He's just upset with himself because he can't back up what he said with any stats. lol

I'll give you credit for sharing your experience knowing you'd take loads of lashings. I'd still have my sucker in the sand and would take that to my grave.
