Yes, why do you ask? We met in Texas about 10 years ago. First time I saw her, I thought.........." oh yeah, I'd hit it."
Am I missing something here? So, she's a little big-boned. She's got a great personality.
Actually, this is my hottest pic of her.

My question is how is the 4.6 in comparision to other trucks and also in comparision to the Triton 5.4???
I am not going to being pulling/towing insane amounts of weight, I justwant to make sure to truck will be able to move fairly quick in a supercrew FX4 configuration?
In other words, when people tailgate me (mostly Dodges, I have a theory on D*ckheads drive dodges, but that is for another thread
) will the 4.6 have enough umff to get the hell away from in a hurry?

The problem I had with it was that the "get up and go" power just wasnt really there. On camping trips with a full bed and 6 people in the cab, the 4.6 didnt seem to have the power necessary for a truck. I must admit that my standards for speed may be a little altered since I also have a Mustang GT, but I strongly feel that the 4.6 doesnt really belong in the F150. On trips up to the desert, the truck struggled to get up to freeway speeds, and at times I found it hard to manuever when I had to (change lanes, pass other drivers, etc.). I just purchased an '04 FX4 w/ the 5.4 and I couldnt be happier. The difference to me is night and day. I dont tow boats, jet-skis, trailers or anything like that, but I still wanted the 5.4 to ensure that I could fill the bed and not worry about having the power to do it. A big reason for choosing the 5.4 was because of the negative experience that I had while driving the 4.6. Like many others said, you will most likely be just as happy with the 4.6, and you may never even regret not having purchased the 5.4. It really comes down to personal preference. If you havent done so already, I strongly recommend test driving trucks with both engines so that you can feel them for yourself.

Dodger you went from a 2v to a 3v and you wonder why it feels so much stronger.... Dont even think about the 4.6-5.4 difference, the heads alone are the biggest difference why it feels stronger
Beauty is in...
