Thanks. This showed me what I needed to know. However, this first video led me to another one that I found to be even more informative. Here's the link to that second one.

I suspect that is why the information that I can find on the internet describing the spark plug access isn't consistent with what I see under the hood.
Here's a tip for you.......go to a ford dealer & talk to say the head sales guy/or any sales person............BE ARMED WITH your 17 digit Vin.#....ask him if he can chase up your original window sticker & then ask him to send to your e-mail !! You can now print it out or just keep it for reference info......It's a big sticker....I get mine printed @ staples...a normal home printer will print it as 2 pages...Your choice.....
It will take him all of 10 seconds to do this......Last time I did this I said what do I owe you ?? .....HE SAID NOTHING....I had asked for 2 different stickers so I slipped him a $10.00 Tim card....You do what you want especially if you bought from that dealer/salesperson ??
Your sticker will have every think on it that your Trk came with ....All options....tire size/ axle ratio/sport mode etc. etc. including XLT or whatever this trk is (FX4/ Platinum etc)... It will also have all the LIST prices of that trk with it's options !!!
Personally I like having all this info on my Trk including the list price which hopefully you did not pay !! It also if you sell privately later in life the window sticker is a nice thing to hand over to the new owner ??

When I asked for my window sticker, my dealer gave me a full-size hard copy and laminated it.

Why would they help? You either know what he's talking about on the 5.0 because you've changed the plug, or you have no knowledge about the 5.0.

Cheers

OR

Got to monroney label, pay $10, and get it emailed and you dont have to put pants on, drive anywhere, tip anybody, and you are 100% guarenteed to get a copy of your window sticker to either print or keep

You must be the latter, because you didn't share any knowledge, and didn't understand my comment. Bye.
