2014+ Toyota Tundra 5.7.

[WilliamBos]

Wait another year and you may bite your tongue on that one. Been rumored for the last couple years the ecoboost will make its way into the super duty. The entire engine was designed around tough duty application and longevity. And what HD does Toyota make? O ya...none. So does that mean the 5.7 isn't tough because it's not used in a HD? If it's as tough as your saying, it would be reasonable to assume Toyota would manufacturer even a half ton that could match other brands tow ratings.

I don't doubt gas engines will be around for awhile still. But I think you'll see electric or something else become more of the norm as years go on. Tech is that sector is rapidly improving.

Resale and long term reliability you say? With the much lower amount of tundras on the road it's pretty obvious to see why resale might be higher in some cases. There's simply less of them to begin with. F150s are almost a dime a dozen. Millions of them to pick from. Inflated numbers obviously means lower prices.

Once again, with the ecoboost being the or one of highest sold engines, if long term reliability was such a problem and a "unrealiable" as you say, it would make headlines in the news.

Other manufacturers are clearly on their way to making similar engines to the ecoboost. Because Ford started the program earlier doesn't mean they aren't good, that's just uninformed nonsense

Look again, no ecoboost for the f superduty. It is not a heavy duty engine, will not stand up to heavy work spplications.

This is not an ecoboost thread, not a ford thread. I will not be buying either.

Move on.

Care to provide proof of either one of those? I'm obviously a Ford fan and read any info I can find on them, and I've never seen anything say such a thing.

I'm just informing you of facts, your replying with propaganda and personal feelings.

But nonetheless, I'll leave you to your tundra circle jerk.

Actually, he is right... A friend of mine that works for a large Metro Detroit City (public works mechanic, and this city drives mainly Ford trucks) advised that by 2021 (maybe it was 2019) Ford would no longer offer a V8 gasser in the F150, F250, F350... It would all be Ecoboost V6's. It appears that the V10 may still be available in cab-chassis configurations.

The 5.0L will be gone very soon. The 6.2L also...

Quit being jealous that you don't own a Tundra and can't join our circle jerk.

I have owned many Ford's... And currently own a F350 & F450. The Tundra's I've owned (and currently own) are more reliable, and hold up better, than my Ford's have. The 5.7 V8 and the 3.5 eb V6 are both nice engines with impressive numbers. Personally I'd rather have the same power numbers (they are close between the two) come from a naturally aspirated, modern V8, than squeezing it out of a smaller engine with a turbo.

If they weren't too lazy, they could type "ecoboost in superduty" and find over a dozen articles stating that it looks highly probable that the superdutys will be receiving the Generation 2 ecoboosts that have more power. 450 HP 550lb/tq. But what do I know, reading and accepting the facts must be hard....

Hey now I used to be in your circle jerk party. Had a 2009. It was an ok truck but the amount of plastic and overall low level of refinement on the interior killed me. Plus it was a major gas hog! Didn't own it past 20k so I couldn't speak of reliability. Have had a few friends get them, and end up going to something else shortly after like I did.

I never even claimed that tundras were unrealiable, just said the ecoboost and f150 out perform it in power and tow ratings, and sales. Then I had to defend the engine from unfounded lies.

It's one thing to pick a truck based on personal feelings. It's another to dismiss one completely based on completely false information and lies. Doesn't matter which one ya like, but let's live in a world of truth here.

I had reservations about the ecoboosts and squeezing that much power from such a small engine before I bought one as well. But after driving one I had to have it. I just rolled 123k yesterday morning. I've beaten the snot out of this thing since day one and it hasn't skipped a beat. If I get 200k I'll be happy, that's a absolutely reasonable amount of miles to get from a half ton these days.

If you were not so drunk on your unicorn flavoured eco kool aid, you would realize that is media speculation. They are the worst for starting rumours and getting people to believe them.


Look at the 'ford is getting a Cummins' rumour. Even after a statement from Cummins, the rumour never died.

I really dont care what Ford does with their ecoboosts, neither will ever be bought by me.

Agreed. I've owned Chevrolets, three suburbans, one blazer, one sedan, all had engine failures. I'm done with that, and I think Fords are inferior to Chevrolet trucks, reason I never owned one. Ford Diesel engines have been a disaster.

No cool aid here. Just facts. Something no one here has produced. Your literally the only one who has spread a rumor and speculation. One could just as easily argue that your perception of the tundra being better is based on nothing more than advertisements and Toyota playing off their known reliable cars. But until you can provide factual evidence to prove me wrong, we are left with no other form of data than sales.

Pretty sure that rumor died years ago. I'd know since I'm on a bunch of different Ford forums. That rumor died when Ford went in house for a Diesel engine.

So 5 chevys had motor failures and they are superior to Ford? Somehow I'm thinking your not the most logical thinking person on this earth. But I can play this silly game. 23 fords in my family alone, not one engine failure. Unless you count alternators..

Ford diesel(s) have been a disaster huh? Which ones were they? Since they made so many. O wait that's right...they've only made 1. The 6.7 which came out in 2011 along with the ecoboost. International had engine problems from 2003-2010. Ford had a engine partner problem. Big difference. The 6.7 has proven to be a solid motor with great performance. Once again I'll say it, if any of these lies had any merit, they wouldn't sell and they would have changed the motor already. Took Ford 4 years to get rid of the dreaded 6.0, but your gonna try and tell me they would keep the 6.7 going after 7 years? What world are you living in?
