Time will tell how reliable it is but I'm hoping they've fixed all the problems of the gen1. I know having the extra port fuel injectors spraying across the valves will help the coking problems they had.

My partner and I both bought the same identical trucks and our plan is to keep them for 10 years. I'll check back in on this thread in a year and give an update.

If the gen1's are maintained well, they don't seem problem prone, but that's the same as everything.

My '13 F-150 FX4 SuperCrew is equipped with the 3.5EB and is at 109k miles. Nothing special done, just regular maintenance. I've seen a couple over the 200k mile mark, but here in Wyo that's just "broken in" for most vehicles.

I told myself I wasn't going to mod anything on this truck. And now after just a few days I've spent 2k on a roll-n-lock bed cover, a weather tech bedliner, rear fender liners, and OE splash guards. Now I must stop... That's Camaro money I'm spending!
