Nearly 22K miles total, 7K boosted.

Engine has been rock solid. No issues at all.

Oil consumption is minimal, I'm picky but I can live with this.

2018 with 45K miles...no issues, no oil consumption and runs strong. The "Tick" is there unless I use Ceratec or run Penzoil Ultra Platinum oil.

2013 F150 5.0 - I had it for just over one year, put 27,000 miles on it - just drove it, nothing crazy. Had a AFE intake, true dual exhaust, was loud, but had no issues at all ever. Great truck, wish I had kept it.

2014 Mustang GT 6R80 - Breifly had an SCT canned tune - no issues, great car - put 27,000 miles on that one in 9 months. Should've kept it.

2015 GT premium MT82 - Bad rear wheel bearing, bad camera, transmission dead at 70K - zero engine problems

2021 GT - base, auto - Good so far, knock on wood. 5500 miles.

2019 GT Prem. A10 20k mi. runs, sounds, drives perfect. Only issue was once the key fob was not recognized by the ignition, thus leaving me bewildered on what to do as I was trying to leave a gas station. Not sure what the problem was but after a few minutes of head scratching and reading the OM the car was ready to start. IDK WTF happened then.

I have a 2018 GT that I bought in July of 2021 with 6k miles on it. I have put 19K+ on it in 9 months and I beat on it pretty hard on a daily basis. It has a little bit of "the tick" but otherwise, been very reliable. The hood moves around a good bit at speeds above 100mph, and THAT is a little unnerving, but that's it.

So we see it daily and throughout the forum regarding some of the nuances and annoyances of the 5.0 Coyote (just engine, NOT whole car) - such as VCT issues, OPG issues, lMRC issues and we can go on and on.

My questions are and probably is more related to longer term owners or those who daily drive:

1) How many of you have NOT had a single issue with your 5.0 Coyote engine??

2) What is your weekly driven miles and total accrued milage to date since ownership?
'21 PP1
15,000 miles
Drive it at irregular intervals, but 10,000 - 15,000 miles a year.
<300 mL oil consumption every 5000 miles.

Developed a tick not too long ago, but no problems. Funny idle one time, check engine light and a TSB was applied, hasn't happened since. As for actual mechanical problems listed above, none. Clutch does not chatter and is easy to drive.

I've had my '19 for two years. It's not my daily but I'm doing about 9k per year and it has 36k on it. No issues.

2019 GT PP1 16k miles.

1..Upper strut bushings and bearings. Low speed snapping and popping from the front end.
2..Pass window motor bad (random operation on bumps).
3..Replaced all front speakers on the B&O system. The symptom was "no right front channel sound"...

All under warranty.

All is well now. Very well put together car. Tight as a drum.
Wow. Bad day for Ford that day.

2019 Premium GT 5.0. I ordered it new and got it in July of that year. It now has about 12k miles on it.

Supercharger installed late last year.

No issues so far with the car at all. I definitely got one of the good ones. :sunglasses:

Not really.

Previous owner likely blew the speakers by abuse.

Window motor and front strut bearings are a well known issue and not exactly a deal killer. LOL

I pulled my post because I missed the "motor not rest of car" in the OPs request.
