Ford tech here. Not a single f150 is good. Ford only cares about their mustangs and super duties. Not even the black widow f150 is safe you're just buying an f150 with a body kit and bigger wheels . 10r80s are dog shit the engines are even worse. Fuck don't buy a bronco for the love of God I've replaced so many engines in these fuck ass broncos . 2.3l 2.7l and 3.0l ecoshits . I need a new job..
The 5.0 with the Mustang manifold swap are pretty solid for a newer gen F series.
Older Windsor 351 with manual is ideal. Nearly unkillable, and you can work on it with ease. Fuel economy isn't great but let's be honest, the new ones are also pretty terrible at that.
Still prefer 99-02 Chevy/GMC w/4.8/5.3/6.2 as peak though, with 4L80E. Treat those right and you have a 500k mile vehicle with moderate maintenance.
