'06 to '08 F-150 4.6L XL: Which year is best?

Any thoughts on this? I have an '06 4.6 XL now, and am strongly considering replacing my Tahoe PPV with another F-150. Are they all about the same, other than TPMS starting in '07 and a little better fuel economy in '08, or are there some other differences worth mentioning?

Thanks.

The 4.6 in the 04-08's are a good solid engine, no major problems that I've heard of. Get whatever year you can find, just be extra vigilant on the 04's, with that being the first year there were a plethora of problems. It was more of a pot luck on if you got a good truck or not.

The 09's and 10's had both a 4.6 2v 4 speed and a 4.6 3v 6 speed. The 3v has VCT like the 5.4.

'07+ all have the line-in aux connection, hassle free of installing an adapter for your own music.
