Thats true. I really dont want a 5.4. I dont tow anything and the 4.6 I had was plenty for me. I know many will disagree but the 4.6 is also a bit of a more reliable engine. Ive been here long enough to know that and anyone can do the research here and see that. Not saying 5.4 is junk because its a great engine as well. Its just a tick more prone to have issues, mainly the plug issue. Plus they generally get a MPG or 2 more. Trust me, I know a TON of people with Ford trucks so this is all first hand experience and observation.

Thanks guys!

Check out offleaseonly.com. It's a place in Florida and they sell vehicles at good prices. They were unbelievably cheap a year ago. May be worth the flight there to get a good deal. Of course they don't give enough for tradeins to bother to ask.
