Thinking about getting that truck. What are your guys opinions on it. I plan to ride to school with it(6 mile roundtrip everyday) and pull my atv's about once a month (160 mile roundtrip). Whats the gas mileage i would get? Is there any major problems with the truck? Is it reliable, my dad and i take good care of our cars. Thanks for your help.

Which is what I would get with my 5.4L so my suggestion would be to skip the 4.6L and get the 5.4L.

4.6 is very slow and underpowered...but i still love it and it can use the 96-04 mustang mods if you so chose to upgrade, however the truck gets a 15 mpg at about 70 mph if you use cruise and ive done as bad as 8mpg

Has anyone changed plugs on their 2005 model 5.4 yet? you are in for a surprise!

Rather than get your 4.6 to 300hp you could get your 5.4 closer to 400 hp for relatively the same cost of mods. I unfortunately have the 4.6 another $700 i should be up to 285hp.
