A buddy of mine had one, 2012 maybe? His was certified pre owned, he dumped it with a month left on warranty. Multiple replaced turbos, intercooler, wastegates and I think cam phaser as mentioned. Being that he wasn’t the original owner, who knows how the previous person treated it.
But then people have also gone 200k without a hiccup.
1999 Z28. A4. Magnaflow catback and a lid. 60k miles.
I don't know anyone that has an old Ecoboost F150 anymore. All of them got rid of them.
Same with the Taurus SHO.
I also thought the Ecofarces were cool... until they weren't.
Plenty of people still driving their old 5.0s though.
I had a 2012 F150 Supercrew, 4x4 with 65-70K mile on it when I got rid of it in 2016. Owned since new. It would "buck" when given full throttle on the xpressway, had no guts. I assume timing chains were starting to go. It did the funny noise deal a couple times when it was cold at startup but would not set any codes for it to be fixed by the dealer just yet, I had extended warranty. I sold it for a F250 diesel at the time.
I don't know if 2013 had same issue. the word was changing oil religously at every 5k prevented this, I went 6-7 range
Sorry, I see I'm late to the party, I don't get on here much anymore.

Great power, tough on gas, mine went through 3 trans before the last trans coated the turbos in trans fluid and the truck burned down. If stuck on an F150 I'd get a 5.0 truck lol.
Humidity would kill it... sucked in tons of water from the inter-cooler and would stall sometimes.
Enjoy these ecoboost burn outs.
