Hello boys!
Been a LONG time since I've been on the forum...I tend to disappear after I get my truck to my liking...which brings me to today's question/post? I have the opportunity to purchase a 2015 XLT Supercrew 5 1/2' bed 2.7 ecoboost that has 52,000 miles and has been VERY well cared for, literally a grocery getter in excellent condition. Asking price is $28,000. I wondering if there are any MAJOR concerns with this truck (specifically with you guys that have put on more miles in your personal vehicle)? I believe another friend of mine had the 3.5 eco and was hauling and it blew up on him which apparently a "thing", I wanna say camshaft or something? I would prefer for that not to happen to me down the road. I would use the truck as a daily driver and about the most it would tow is a 16.5' boat from time to time. I did a search of the 2.7 on here and didn't really find anything major, just your typical problems from time to time. My 2009 Lariat is getting rusty and has 190,000 so thinking it's time to put her out to pasture, can't afford to buy a new one at $80K (f'n ridiculous) and want a 2015 or up with the aluminum alloy body (no rust). ANY HELP/COMMENTS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU!!!

 

$28k is kind of high for a 2015.

The 2015 M/Y is the 1st gen 2.7 EB. So keep that in mind.

 

The price of all used vehicles is sky high right now.

 

thank you for the link!!

 

Yes my friend is actually selling the truck so he can get a new expedition for the wife and the dealership is offering him $28K right now sight unseen, KBB says it's anywhere from 30 to 31 right now...as a trade in..

 

Wow, I guess so. My '07 Compass with a zillion miles on it is still worth a chunk of change.

Guess I won't be buying anything new for a while... I still love my '07 F150 with the 5 speed manual. lol

 

Carbon/soot buildup inside the turbo wastegate....especially if it's been driven easy!
