Yes I do know a guy that has a 11 eco boost with just shy of 200k on it he uses it for pulling his boat, fairly big camper and a beast of a steel frame 24ft ice house I would never think about pulling with my old 5.4
his does have quite a lot of hi way miles on it from work but, he has had very good luck with it just the minor maintenance stuff and general maintenance oil and fluid changes etc... no turbos no motor issues and no tranny problems on his!!!
he did tell me he does full synthetic and 5k oil changes religiously
Will I have mine for 200k like him??? no but I will have it for 10+ years
That's averaging 70k miles a year!!! That's almost all highway use...has to be. And at highway cruising, the turbo's don't even spool. Driving your car/truck down the highway for long intervals (like this guys is doing) is easier on your engine than letting it sit in the garage.
