As does the EcoBoost engine! The 2014 had it's share of engine issues yes. Care to look at the EB's record in both engine failures and recalls? The only engine issue I have had was a coolant solenoid valve that was repaired under the powertrain coverage costing my nothing. That would be the only major issue have had some minor issues like the drivers puddle light and the fog lamps shaking. Both replaced under the 3/36,000 coverage at no cost.
Why do you bring up the EB? I never mentioned it. I'm more concerned about the reliability of these small diesels. I just hope the Ram isn't any indication of what to expect from the Ford.
But just for the record, the longest EB engine failure thread I could find was only 6 pages long.
Because the 3.0 is not out and the and the 3.5 had far more issues then the 3.o EcoD did. Maybe if you take your blinders off you could see that. Most of the Ram EcoD issues were in the first six months with the later 2014 trucks and on not having any more problems than any other engine out there today.
As for Fords 3.0 diesel I hope it has a good launch but I would not buy one for at least one year. That is what I did with the mine. I would never buy the first year of a any vehicle. Let the free beta testers get the bugs worked out then you have a better chance of not getting a problem child.
what are "all these issues the 3.5 had" ? other than the first gen F150's having a design change in the intercooler design there's been very little for issues. My Father in law still owns my old first year F150 EB with well other 190k on it now and its been issue free? my guys at work also mostly all drive 3.5 EB F150's save for one with a 5.0 and all have been reliable an issue free for many KM's.
