Why I would never 3.5

Why I would not consider swapping in a Ford 3.5 ecoboost.

Hi all,

Gee the rattle sound of a diesel without the stinky fuel smell. What's not to like? Just kidding of course. What mileage was on that engine?

He says they fail all the time, but doesn't tell the mileage on that 2017 F-150. There are lock out kits that could solve the problem, but I would rather have the Lexus V8.
