Not a GM with the 5.3. They screwed that engine up with the Active Fuel Management system.

I don't think it is the make or year of the truck. It is who owned it before you bought it.

Ram with a Hemi wants plugs every 30k or something like that and they are hard to get to. Most people don’t do them because of that.
Gm with 5.3 have a tendency to use oil.
Ford with the eco boost usually need turbos around 100k
I’d just go with whatever you want. Nothing is perfect. And a lot will come from prior owners.

I've had (have) 3 F150s with 5.0. Have been no problems but then again, I bought new and traded at 99.99k and 75k.

Not a GM with the 5.3. They screwed that engine up with the Active Fuel Management system. How so? The fuel management system basically turns off 4 cylinders when not needed. The number 7 cylinder is one of the disabled cylinders. The cranckcase ventilation return hose dumps on top of the number 7 exaust valve. There is new and improved valve cover for drivers side bank. It has a baffle that routes the recirculated cranckase vapor to an oil return hole in head. I think 2010s were the worse but may have corrected in later models. The 2010 I learned on was not mine. It had been driven pretty hard. When the number 7 exhaust valve seal could no longer prevent recirculated oil vapor leakage into disabled 7 cylinder, , the 7 plug would foul every 1000 miles. New valve cover helped, but driver finally orderd a tuner keep all 8 cylinders firing. There is many many many threads on several chevy boards discussing problem.
If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

If you want reliability and low cost of ownership other than fuel I suggest a Tundra 5.7 liter Crewmax 4wd! It is bulletproof and main flaw is fuel mileage

This won’t be my Daily driver. A tundra is my first choice and I’ve had one and know about the gas. Mainly looking for reliability and room. Never been a fan of the f150 ride..
Besides gas is there any major down fall to a 3/4 ton gas?
