A has been that never was
I have a 2010 XLT Screw with a 5.4. I ABSOLUTELY love my 5.4. Yes the EB is more powerful and loaded with torque. Yes the 5.0 is more powerful and sporty. Two very fine motors. However, for the price, the 5.4 mated to the new 6 speed is bad *** for me.
I have cold air i take, true dual exhaust, 3.73 gears POSI, and an SCT turner with 5 Star tunes and I could mot be happier.
Dont try to keep up with the Kardashians man!!
Your old 5.4 was hooked to a 4 speed. Try driving the 09 with the 6 speed. Its much better.

Guess I'll pick the white '09 FX4 screw 6.5 because that's exactly what I drive already, got mine for $20000 in 2011, I wouldn't pay that for the same truck now.

I have a 2010 5.4.. actually had the choice between my 2010 fx4 and a 2011 EB.. chose the 5.4.. I have a volant cold air intake and sledge programmer.. very very happy with it.. honestly. Go with the 2009.. less problems to worry about.

Buy new at a good price, or close to it. Ford carrying costs will be much lower than the banks, on new units. The prices that you are quoting are well above black book wholesale. The minute you drive off the lot you truck will be worth that to you, not what you paid. At least get something that will have a warranty when you are dealing with such differentials in price.

So I have experienced the engine ticking/knocking in my 04 5.4 already and fixed it once...its back. I don't really know what to do but I have thrown around the idea of just getting rid of the truck. I found two trucks that I like and I'm looking for a little feed back. Which ones the better option here?
1. 2009 FX4 SCrew 6.5' Bed 5.4 V8 with 87,216 miles - $20,342
2. 2011 Lariat SCrew 6.5' Bed 3.5 EcoBoost with 79,149 miles - $24,943
My Payments on the 09 would go up about $60 vs $125 for the 11 however the EcoBoost would get better mpgs and I am still thinking twice about the 5.4 again...
