Default '07, what do I need to know

Just got an '07 F-150 crew cab this week. Has 28500k on it. Havent owned a Ford since '02. Glad to be back.

Anything I need to know about this year truck? Any problems that are plaguing everyone that I should be aware of?

There are some issues with the plugs breaking when they're changed. There are some noise issues, make sure you use a Motorcraft filter as some aftermarket ones can come apart and plug oil passages.

My truck was built 4/07 so I guess I may have the plug issue.
As far as noise, I had a GMC Duramax diesel with 4" turbo back exhaust and a S&B could air intake. If you want to hear noise drive that truck. This new truck is extremely quite compared to the GMC.

The nice thing is my 22 month old ran to the truck today wanting to go for a ride. Now I think he hated getting in the GMC b/c of the noise. He never did that before.
