I hope everyone is having a good weekend! I was hoping of reviewing the Toyota tundra v6 twin turbo engine but that did not workout so I figured it was time for me to get my hands dirty on the 5L ford f150.

I have heard good things about this 5L coyote engine in the f150's but it seems like over the years the more powerful ecoboost engines seem to be overshadinging this naturally asperated engine because on paper it is less powerful and gets worse Mpg

but I really enjoyed my time with this 5L engine. the first thing that is usually a good sign is that this engine has been around since 2011 meaning that it is doing something right and ford and the consumers both like it!

The first thing that I really like about this 5L coyote engine in the f150's is how much power you get out of such a small package. ford specifically wanted a small displacement v8 that could compete with much larger displacement v8's. in order to make the same power numbers ford has to upgrade to a dual overhead cam valve train which allowed this engine to rev much higher giving it the advantage it needed!

the second thing I really like about this engine is how ford went with a dual injection direct injection system. they utilize both port injection and direct injeciton to give this engine the benefits of direct injection like more power and better throttle response but it does not suffer some getting carboned up like the GM v8's are.

the third thing I like about this engine is just how fuel efficient it is. this engine is actually incredible efficient and my real world MPG was around 19 which is fantastic for a 400hp v8 engine.

the fourth thing I like about this engine is that it is made in canada and how this engine is made using a modular style of manufacturing helping give reliability and longevity to this engine

this final thing I really like about this engine is how high it revvs up to. this engine will rev to 7,000rpm which is very high for a V8 pick up truck engine.

I hope you guys liked the video!
