He hates any powertrain that isn't a 4.6 for some reason. The argument will never end if you don't walk away. Doesn't like the 5.4 Triton either.

I keep it real. The 4.6l in the Expedition is pathetic, gutless and awful on gas to boot. However, it is a very reliable and long lasting engine. The dyno testing was impressive in the 3.5l EcoB. The long term life of this engine, is its biggest question.4.6, eh? No worries, I won't blow out a spark plug over it or anything. lol.
Just for S's & G's, I've got to make an observation about vehicle "forums", ALL vehicle forums. As some know, I restore and collect vintage bikes.
As such, I used to buy/sell a LOT of bikes so over the years, I joined a LOT of forums and the 1 thing they ALL have in common is that everyone goes there when they have a problem.
IF there was any inherent issues with the EB powertrain, we would ALL know about it<LMAO>!!
JMHO......

I thought some of you who are wondering about the longevity of the 3.5 EB may be interested in an update to the post I made back on 3/7, on page 16 of this thread. Then I had 251k. Now, more than five months later I have 281, 872. I still haven't replaced any major components, at all. It still runs as well as it did at 100k. Still has plenty of power and, as you can see in the photo, it averaged over 20 mpg over a 350 mile run yesterday, part of which was spent driving old logging roads in a pine plantation, in 4 wheel drive. It may fall apart tomorrow but.....I doubt it.
Lots of guys with well over 200k. Doesn't mean nobody has had one break down, everyone treats vehicles differently. If you treat it well and maintain it, there's no reason it won't last.
