Do yourself a favor.

Click on the SEACH button and enter "Bosch spark plug" as your search key.

Then, read and decide...

Thanks but I did that and their website did not shows any specific spark plug for a certain vehicle. Just wondering if there "SOMEBODY" use this product. Besides I thought this is the purpose of this website. "TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER F150 OWNERS". Hope I'm not mistaken.

Your not mistaken. Can't help you on the plat 4 plugs, but have had good results with the regular bosch platinums. One thing I will mention, my electrical engineer boss mentioned these are a waste of money. The spark and ONLY jump from one place, the closest point between the electrode and the ground.

Searching is a good idea. Trouble I've found over the years of being on this site is if you pick the wrong key words you get all sorts of stuff you might not have any interest in. So, for my 2 cents, repost and don't worry. Hell, you/we might find we get something new on the topic that's not be mentioned by the old threads.

I'm sure you'll find the info that people provide on this site to be the BEST out there for our trucks. Knowledge here is GOLDEN!!!!!

Best of luck on your spark plug quest.

Bosch plugs in general are hit and miss in Ford vehicles. Some work alright, some don't. I think the +4 crap is a gimmick myself. For the lowest chance of headaches and troubles, roll with Autolites or Motorcrafts. If you're willing to spend a bit more for plugs, NGKs seem to be alright too.

Unless you have done any major performance work on the motor, it is generally best to go with the same plugs that came in it from the factory. I have used autolites and bosh plugs and they only lasted 4 to 5 thousand miles. The factory motorcraft platnium plugs have lasted the longest.

I personally like using Denso Iridiums. I tried using the Bosch Plat +4, dont have anything negative to say bout them.
