5.0 spark plugs
When are guys doing tune ups for the 5.0s mines a 2011 about 63,000 miles thinking it may be time for a set. Any opinions on when do em and what plugs to use?

Mine is at 76,000, running great and has not lost mpg so I will go to 100,000 unless I see a need earlier.

I won't use anything but Motorcraft. Don't see how anything could do any better.

I will probably do mine at 50k. Has anyone done theirs yet? Seems it will be way easier than the 5.4L for access.

Fixed it for you!

I'll leave now

Op, Definitely go with motorcraft plugs if you do change em.. But if its running good and no signs of needing it then i would wait closer to the 100k mark.

I did mine at in the 90K range and they didn't need to be touched. Motorcraft works great. I would wait until 100K or you have an issue.
