My 97 is a Reg Cab Flareside with the 5.4L. It is Pacific Green. The 5.4 emblems are black stickers under the clearcoat. It was exactly what I was looking for in a truck. Has 221K miles right now, and it is still beautiful!

As I recall, in Canada you could only get the V6 in a Reg cab 4x4. If you opted for the SuperCab 4x4 the 4.6 was the base engine. If you wanted a 5 speed manual the biggest engine you could get was the 4.6 regardless of the cab configuration. The 5.4 was available in all cab configurations.

Torque pushing weight is what brakes them. Remember Crash? He put a turbo on a 4.6 5 speed and it lasted a week.

Mine is an 06 RegCab FX4/5.4. 5.4 is the only engine you can get with the FX4 option in the newer models.

Yes, I ordered it that way.
15.7@85 in the 1/4 in stock form.

but then again "the 4.6 is a better engine"

The 4.6 better?!?!!! Did you hit your head?!?!!!
No soup for you!!
Reliability , there the same .
The 5.4L with all it's power & torque is a far better puller and makes for a more versatile truck..
I'm still trying to locate an ability the 4six has over the 5four. Can't find anything - I was going to say mileage, Nope , that doesn't fly either .
I'll keep looking, unless you misprinted...

Alright, my daughter said you could put your new motor in her truck if you want.
