The 2013 F-150 sits in the middle of the 2011–2014 run, which means the same four engines and plenty of donor trucks. Many of these trucks are carrying high mileage now, and swapping in a lower-mileage used engine is often the most practical way to keep one working.
2013 F-150 Engine Options
- 3.7L V6 (VIN code M): the base engine
- 5.0L V8 (VIN code F): the Coyote V8 and a popular pick for towing
- 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (VIN code T): twin-turbo, direct injection
- 6.2L V8 (VIN code 6): used in the SVT Raptor and some upper trims
Every 2013 F-150 came with the 6R80 six-speed automatic, so the engine choice is the main thing to match.
Getting the Right Engine
The VIN does most of the work. The 8th character is the engine code above, and the 10th character should be D for a 2013 truck. Some listings also note a build-date split, so have the production month from your door jamb label handy.
If your 3.5L EcoBoost is throwing timing codes or rattling on cold starts, our Ford F-150 engines page covers the known issues for this generation. Our guide on how to match a used engine to your car by VIN code explains the rest.
