Tothemax - When I read the OP I thought the same thing. ...

Since the 1st pic' clearly shows 8(eight) spark plugs ...

2012 is the only year they specified that gap change, if you look in 2013 and 2014, the owners manual states .041 - .047.. no clue why they only changed it for 2012.

Excerpted from the 2013 F-150 owner's manual (v1-v3)...
