Nice looking truck man. You will be happy with it. I have an 06 XLT with the 4.6. When I was looking at trucks I test drove a 02 with the old 2V 5.4 and the 4.6 felt almost identical when I drove the 06.
3 years and almost 40k miles later I have absolutely no regrets. My truck is totally stock, and it is by no means fast, but the mileage has been very decent, 18-19 on the highway and 15-16 in town. I have never felt like I needed more power, and I like not having to worry about the plug and cam phaser issues.
Congrats again on a nice truck! Hope it gives you years of worry free service.

His response Oh yes the 4.6 and the 5.4 have identical problems with the plugs breaking.. I asked him if the cam phasers are a problem also and he said told me once again the 4.6 and 5.4 have the same problems.
what a idiot.

Speaking of the plugs i called the ford dealership to get a price on a plug change, he quoted me 400.00 dollars and 47.50 per broken plug.. I asked the service manager do the 4.6's have the plug problem? I thought it was just the 5.4.

Being a 07 (unless im way off) it would be the 2v.. I think the 4.6 3 valve came out in 09?

The 3 valve 4.6's in the F-150 do not have the plug issues. The heads were redesigned in 08 and the 4.6 3v wasn't offered in the truck till 09.
A plug change in a 2v shouldn't cost you much more than $200. If you can't/don't want to do it yourself, this is something that any halfway competent shop can do. Just make sure to use Motorcraft plugs and torque to 28 ft/lb.
