5.4L or 5.0L

Totally different engines. The 5.0 will give you better gas mileage. There is nothing wrong with the 5.4 as far as I am concerned and if the price is a lot better, I would be happy with it. However, I love the 5.0 and if there is not any real incentive to go with the 2010, I would go with the 2012.

5.0 all the way!!!
seriously?
the 5.4 is dated technology and has the cam phaser issues and the 2 piece spark plugs will have to be dealt with eventually.(they might have updated the plugs idk) the 5.0 could be problematic, but it has yet to be seen.
lets think about it 310/320 hp 5.4 vs 360 hp 5.0 ,plus the 5.0 gets BETTER gas mileage.

I know there was one reported on this site but that is all I recall. My point is that it was not a greatly recurring issue with the 2010. I look at it as it's mechanical and anything can go wrong with any given engine. I had great luck with the 5.4 and would have been happy buying another had they been in the 2011s. Having said that, I am very pleased with my 5.0. In my mind, the 6-speed transmissions do more for all these engines than it gets credit for.

I owned a 06 with the 5.4 and recently sold it and now have an 11 with the 5.0, the 5.0 gets better mileage for me. I am getting in town with the 5.0 what I was getting on the highway with the 5.4. With the 5.4 I was having issues with the cam phasers and it was starting to get annoying. The 6 speed tranny is also a good thing with the 5.0
