Picked her up this morning!

Wow, what a great truck. It rides really, really well. And for a vehicle it's size, it handles great! I'm very happy.

Does the 4.6V8 grow some ***** eventually though? I hope so, cause (and yes I know it's brand new) it is completely gutless.

I like the way it sits up so high, and the controls have a nice feel to them.

Also, the seats are pretty comfy.

All in all, I'm real pleased!

Congrats, but I'm getting real tired of hearing people getting their trucks while I've been waiting so long for mine to get here! It's been 3 weeks, this is killing me!

Don't hold your breath for great performance out of the 4.6 -- at best its performance would be described as "unremarkable" and at worst "it's a dog".

I actually thought the V6's I test drove were peppier than the 4.6.....? Anyways, after test driving several vehicles, there was no doubt in my mind I'd be getting a 5.4.

Good luck with the new ride!

yeah, I would have gotten the bigger engine

if it was an option. This is a company vehicle, I guess I have to be grateful they didn't go with the v6!
