Great vid! ...... '17 5.0 Super Crew here. I also went through all the fluids, (front / rear diff, trans, t-case, brake fluid, coolant to yellow from orange, and fluid film the frame in November each year due to living in New England... I did all of this to start with a fresh maintenance base point when i picked up my truck used with 50k. Maybe you hit this already, but I wanted to mention to not forget about bleeding the brakes with fresh fluid as it is such an easy maintenance item. Interesting profession you have there. I bet you have tons of stories. Lastly, In my opinion, some of the best F150 models are the 5.0's from '15 to '17 I Love these years. Stay safe....
2016 F150 XLT. 3.5L naturally aspirated. Tows 90% of the time on highway. 255,000 miles. The only repair I've had was to replace the catalytic convertors.
Nice video, I have a 2015 F150 4x4 Lariat with the 5.0 coyote motor. I have 142,000 miles on it now and have had no issues. I did the transmission flush, rear differential, and transfer case fluid change around 120,000. I do my oil change and tire rotation every 5,000 and just changed my plugs yesterday. The way to keep them going is to keep up on the maintenance. I hope I can keep this truck running for a long time as its still in really nice shape.
@@dperr338 I agree 100% I bought the truck with 113k on it and Im trying to get everything done. It had good maintenance records from carfax as far as oil changes but I didn't see trans flush or diffs or transfer case so i dont know if they were done or not.
I use motorcraft filters, oil,spark plugs and batteries in all my Ford's and Lincolns. My F-150 is a 2013 and other than the battery I have had no issues. I have always done all my own maintenance.
I knew a guy that had a spectrometer and went over each cylinder before and after the K&N, he noticed a .02 micron accumulation of particles in the engine and said that only the absolute best of RUclips mechanics would find it. He wasn’t as concerned, but he only went to an online school to take courses in terrorist negotiations for people that do them in less than stressful circumstances, so not sure how much I trust his analysis?
Great video my friend. Love my '17 xlt. A good friend of mine has a Ram... he mentioned all of his storage options once. I then mentioned that beautiful all aluminum body we have, lol. Take care. 👍🏽🇺🇸
Nice truck and great attention to detail with your maintenance. I've been buying Ford trucks for 45 years for our business and for personal use and I've always had good luck. Gosh I wish we didn't get snow up here and the resulting salt on the roads......... plays havoc with the frame and workings. I have a fleet of 14 XLTs right now and my personal truck is currently a '22 Lariat 502A Powerboost hybrid. Absolutely love it! Anyone who says they don't build quality trucks anymore is exaggerating.
I had a 2015 F150 that I put 93,000 miles on. Other than a back window that let water pour through into the cab, it was a much better truck than the 2019 F-150 or the 2022 F-150 that I've owned since. It seems with each iteration Ford works to take cost out but it comes out at the expense of taking quality out as well.
@Ross industry information states the next generation F150 will have as much as 2200 fewer parts in an effort to get the focus back on the quality of the product so it will be interesting to see. Definitely appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching!
Same here. Had a 2015 w/ 6-speed, 2017 w/ 10-speed, and a 2020 F-350. The 17 and 20 are worse trucks than the 15. Both the 17 and 20 were in the shop over a month for the 10-speed, and still had issues until the day I sold them.
I have a 2016 5.0 XLT. 345 thousand miles. Never been in the engine. Alternator, and water pump changed once a piece. Brand new transmission at 150k. No other issues.
i got 190k on that exact year and engine and you need to take good care of your cam phasers, if you let them get dirty they will cause a stumble and sometimes stall at idle@@AutoHeadz
I HAVE THE 2017 VERSION OF THE SAME TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN FANTASTIC -- A/C WENT OUT AT 150 000 KM -- fORD AFTER MUCH FIGHTING PAID FOR THE REPAIR AND GAVE ME A 7-YEAR UNLIMITED WARRANTY ON THE A/C.
I got a 11 Platinum recently with the 6.2L V8. At 200K it runs like a new truck. Whatever Exhaust the last owner put in get compliments :lol: . My next truck though will be a 5.0L w/aluminium because all the steel trucks here get some rust at the bottom. Your 5.0L would be just as reliable. There is guy on YT who is a Ford Tech (Ford Boss Me) he has one like yours, said it is one of the best trucks.
@alb12345672 I have a friend that has a few of the 6.2 trucks as moble service trucks and had had great luck and his guy work them very hard. Thank you very much for watching!
I have a 2017 XLT 5.0 4x4 that was purchased new at local dealer. Just turned over 99k on it. No issues yet. Dealer serviced and I have hit the transmission flush, new belts and basic stuff like that. I seem to be hard on my rotors as I’ve already replaced them due to warping . Could be my driving habits or cheap made parts from dealer so I’m not going to fault the truck for that. I’m happy with it so far.
@@Lufty25 No…I got all my parts from the dealership. But just recently, my last service, I had to have the rear rotors turned because they were warped and cause the pedal to bounce against my foot while stopping. That got rid of 90% of it, but the next service coming up I’ll have to get the front one done….again. Only other issue I had was the mixing valve for the heater temperature went bad but I got it replaced under the extended warranty. Got that repaired in August.
I’ve got a 2011 F-150 Platinum with the 5.0 V8! Has 159,000 on it with very little trouble. Nothing major. Great truck that still runs like new? I do baby it. All the required maintenance and I keep it detailed (wax, interior, etc? Looks brand new!
2016 Ford F-150 2.7l V6 with about 78k miles right here in Dallas also. Running like a top. I seem to go through rotors pretty quick. On my second set already. I hope it's my driving style but I suspect cheap Ford products. Heaviest load I've pulled is about 4200lbs and I didn't know it was back there. I want to see how it does pulling about 7600lbs. See if I need a bigger truck.
That is awesome. At this point we have only towed a few times. About 6000lbs with no problem. Let me know how the ownership continues. Thank you very much for watching!
i have the same exact truck coyote engine 150 k miles water pump let go at around that time one of the transmission cooler lines let go still a good truck
Mine is a 2015 2.7l f150 at 250500 miles and the transmission is good and the only problem is rhe timing belt jumped and broke a piston 😂 other then that it’s a good truck
I have a 2018 xlt, its at 96 right now. I have the 3.5l ecoboost. Had it for a yr and its my daily, best vehicle ive ever owned. My only complain is that i didnt know the coyote existed, i was lead to believe by review channels that the f150s which dont have ecoboost have that awful engine which disables valves and whatnot. Wish my truck sounded like a truck. Gonna get a flowmaster next tax return and itll finally sound like a truck.
I performed a coolant flush and changed to the Motorcraft Yellow fluid that now comes factory not long after this video was uploaded. Good luck and thank you very much for watching!
I think that is a 2016 F150. About to change the front struts on my 2016. Any chance you might recall the torque specs on those nuts? I don't have shop manual and am finding different specs on different videos. Also, did you reuse all the nuts? I think Ford is saying replace. Lastly, big thanks for the video!
@DownShifting76 @donmulvey9280 I did. The upper and lower ball joints are 85 LB-FT, the Sway bar ends are 65 LB-FT, the Lower Coilover bolt is 60-65 LB-FT, and the upper Coilover top plate is 50 LB-FT.

Ok .. .just one more quesion ... did the spline pop out of the knuckle when you replaced the strut ... if so ... how hard to reallign and reinstall spline into the knuckle? I think there must be a seal on the inside that you don't want to tear up.
@donmulvey9280 sorry I'm not sure what spline and knuckle you are refering to. If you are refering to the tie rod will go right back into place as long as its posion isn's changesd. The top into the A arm will take a little work and once going up with a floor jack with seat into place. Just plan a day and take your time its not a tough job, just some patients and don't get hurt with the spring. Good luck!
Nice truck, I have a 2022 5.0 coyote with the 10 speed auto. When you designed your pull chain for the drivers side rear seat I was wondering if the super cab also has the latch or is it just on the king cabs I sure would like to lift the seat down. Thank you in advance.
@@billhillegass946 I own a 15 super cab and the seat does have a latch and fold down. It isn't easy with the stock latch, I installed an aftermarket one for easier access.
Similar vehicles on the market now are $26k and up for the same year. Since they are 7-8 years old now, do you think this is a fair price? Can u share the price of this truck new?
@orlandomabry2584 I have been offered $24K for the truck but when comparing it to the price of a new truck have not sold my 2016. If we do get close to deciding to pursue the purchase of a new truck our son may get the 2016 since we know the condition and maintenance history. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!
It does matter the brand, toyota and honda keep their vehicles the same only changing what needs improvement, the so called American trucks and cars, make changing while keeping old parts that make them money, they look pretty but they keep having the same problems, I speak by experience
You will need to remove the black plastic trim on the drivers side floor front and rear doors. Per what I used. Use the BROWN and RED STRIE wire on the existing harness / connector (Hidden beind the drivers side passenger area door 3rd pillar) (This is normally used for OEM Sony Power AMPS) for both the SPAND sub and AMP. This makes for a much more simple and clean install. No going straight to the battery for 12V and it powers up great. There is no need to penetrate the firewall or wire under the hood. Route both of the 12V power wires to both Amps back to the 3rd pillar. This will allow the use of the OEM connector (Brown/Red wire) for the Amps. This will provide more than enough power for the Kicker audio system. Hope this helps!
@robbiesmith-kh7ds yes I do, Just over 111,000 miles and my son and I are working it pretty good towing our RV camper trailer trying to spend as much time as possible bow hunting this season.
The XLT does have rear vents under the front seats but no center console and they can't be independently adjusted. The higher trip level console vents are definitely much nicer! Thank you for watching!
@shelton wade if I am stuck buying gas usually 87 since the ECM will keep the timing and knock safe and 1 full tank of 93 per oil change. Outside of that, I try to keep E85 in the tank as much as possible since it is high in octane for timing advance and burns much cooler than gas. Thanks so much for watching!
It’s amazing the hate I get from Chevy people driving Ford. I know your wrong whatever brand you go with but maybe living near the old GM plant I’m asking for it.
IMO all vehicles can have strong and weak / failure points but designs have come a very long way in a relatively short time. As long as the owner cares, is willing to pay attention, and puts out some effort basically any new vehicle sold can have a long and useful lifecycle. I have personally owned a few GM products and a few I really miss and a couple not so much. Again just my opinion. Thank you for watching and don't let those Chevy guys get you down!!!
Hey Justin thank you for watching! I have read various reports on the VCT issues. For servicing, I have justified in my mind anyway spending the extra cash on Red Line oil and K&N filters at every oil change since I know the Ford recommendations are also based on the cost of ownership and environmental sales marketing. Hopefully, the better oils and filters will pay for themselves in the long term. The Omega tunes are extremely impressive considering such a simple install! My son will soon be 16 and will most likely be driving the truck some so the plan, for now, is to keep focused on the maintenance and longevity and get as much value per dollar as we can since we have college expenses ahead. Thanks again, we really appreciate you watching and commenting!
@Cliff76 yes it depends on driving conditions, hwy, long trips not a big deal,I take my 2015 5.0 on lots of short trips, catch can was full quick in Minnesota winter running e15. 5k max for me full synthetic 5w30, now at 100k only 5w40 and 0w40

@zemo2332 115,141 miles. No issues at all.
Thank you very much for watching!
I’d like it in extended cab long box
It does matter the brand, toyota and honda keep their vehicles the same only changing what needs improvement, the so called American trucks and cars, make changing while keeping old parts that make them money, they look pretty but they keep having the same problems, I speak by experience
@felicelgato59 thank you for watching!
Based on your review, I bought a 2018 Tundra.
Thank you.
Glad the review helped in your decision, and thank you for watching!
Wise move.
My dad has the F150 2020 Xlt v8
Hope it treats your family well and thank you for watching!
@@DownShifting76 yeah it does. It has lots of km
I clicked this video because I was interested in hearing how the f150 performed over high mileage....
Thank you for watching!
What mpg do you get?
@zanepeters722 with E85 13-14 MPG and with 93 octane 17-18 MPG.
Thank you very much for watching!
Good stuff man
Thank you for watching!
Your job sounds like my family friend’s job who lives in DFW also…know a Bill Hartley?
@C dub the name doesn't seem familiar but it it definitely a small community so hopefully we can cross paths.
Take care and thank you for watching!
I'm just about to turn 40k on my 2016 F150 XLT
Hope you get as much use and enjoyment with your F150 as I have mine.
Thanks so much for watching!
And I thought I was low at 62k with my 2016 XLT 😂
would like info on that factory wire and how you installed the amp and sub. truck for sure need some better sound.
You will need to remove the black plastic trim on the drivers side floor front and rear doors.
Per what I used.
Use the BROWN and RED STRIE wire on the existing harness / connector (Hidden beind the drivers side passenger area door 3rd pillar) (This is normally used for OEM Sony Power AMPS) for both the SPAND sub and AMP. This makes for a much more simple and clean install. No going straight to the battery for 12V and it powers up great. There is no need to penetrate the firewall or wire under the hood.
Route both of the 12V power wires to both Amps back to the 3rd pillar. This will allow the use of the OEM connector (Brown/Red wire) for the Amps. This will provide more than enough power for the Kicker audio system.
Hope this helps!
Do you still have the truck???
@robbiesmith-kh7ds yes I do, Just over 111,000 miles and my son and I are working it pretty good towing our RV camper trailer trying to spend as much time as possible bow hunting this season.
Man no rear ac vents
The XLT does have rear vents under the front seats but no center console and they can't be independently adjusted.
The higher trip level console vents are definitely much nicer!
Thank you for watching!
Yes there are the vent dock is under the seat
Do use regular gas or premium?
@shelton wade if I am stuck buying gas usually 87 since the ECM will keep the timing and knock safe and 1 full tank of 93 per oil change.
Outside of that, I try to keep E85 in the tank as much as possible since it is high in octane for timing advance and burns much cooler than gas.
Thanks so much for watching!
It’s amazing the hate I get from Chevy people driving Ford. I know your wrong whatever brand you go with but maybe living near the old GM plant I’m asking for it.
IMO all vehicles can have strong and weak / failure points but designs have come a very long way in a relatively short time.
As long as the owner cares, is willing to pay attention, and puts out some effort basically any new vehicle sold can have a long and useful lifecycle.
I have personally owned a few GM products and a few I really miss and a couple not so much.
Again just my opinion.
Thank you for watching and don't let those Chevy guys get you down!!!
You are going to have vct solenoids issues with long oil intervals. Get a Oz omega tune lame truck without
Hey Justin thank you for watching!
I have read various reports on the VCT issues. For servicing, I have justified in my mind anyway spending the extra cash on Red Line oil and K&N filters at every oil change since I know the Ford recommendations are also based on the cost of ownership and environmental sales marketing. Hopefully, the better oils and filters will pay for themselves in the long term.
The Omega tunes are extremely impressive considering such a simple install! My son will soon be 16 and will most likely be driving the truck some so the plan, for now, is to keep focused on the maintenance and longevity and get as much value per dollar as we can since we have college expenses ahead.
Thanks again, we really appreciate you watching and commenting!
@Cliff76 yes it depends on driving conditions, hwy, long trips not a big deal,I take my 2015 5.0 on lots of short trips, catch can was full quick in Minnesota winter running e15. 5k max for me full synthetic 5w30, now at 100k only 5w40 and 0w40
@@dperr338 as of this message I have never had the oil level off of the full mark at the time for an oil change so there is definitely no consumption issue.
Thanks much for watching!
I have a 5 Star tune
@sfcjerryharris1 oz is better for coyote flex logic, omega tune I have works great
