Which Ford F-150 engine should I pick for Canadian winters?
The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0L Coyote V8 remain the two safest picks for cold-weather reliability. The EcoBoost delivers stronger low-end torque for towing a snowmobile trailer out of Mont-Tremblant, while the 5.0L is simpler to service and widely supported by rural mechanics. Avoid the first-generation 2.7L EcoBoost from 2015-2016 unless the timing chain and oil pan have been documented. For heavy plowing or fifth-wheel towing, the 3.0L Power Stroke diesel offers superb range but commands a premium on resale.
