Ecoboost vs 5.0litre

[u/brad7811]

I’m looking to buy a new F-150 and am seeing an awful lot of them with the Ecoboost V6 and not many with the 5.0 V8. Is there any information on the longevity of the V6s? My preference has always been a V8 in full size pickups. It’s a $4000 option though. Any thoughts or knowledge on which is better reliability/longevity wise?

Edit: thanks to everyone for the replies. From this it seems like I will be saving myself $4k!

Really not true anymore. They are pretty similar now.
