I need help...
I am stuck between a 2007 with 68000 miles and a 2008 with 123500 miles. Both are optioned the same...XLTs, 5.4L, auto, SCrews, etc. The 2008 appears to be a Florida pick-up. I am unaware of the origins of the 2007. Is there a preference out there between the models years? Has the 5.4 been ridded of its issues by then? What about the IWE problems?

 

The 5.4 redesigned heads didn't come into production until the '08 model year build.
Check the spark plug sticky for the date. Carfax? I really would have a hard time buying to 2008 when the 2007 has so few miles in comparison. If I chose the '07, see if the seller will change the plugs.

 

the 07 with lo miles is better .and i think the plugs is still okay with that miles. check underneath for rust
or use carfax like you said like 08 said , good luck

 

OK...thanks for engine info.
Whatcha gotta say about the 4x4, IWE issues?

 

I have a 08 and i love it but id get the 07 with lower miles. Just change the plugs and you will be all set.

 

I agree with Tough get the 07 and change the plugs. I have the 07 (123,000 mi.) and love it. I wish it had 68,000.

 

OK the 2007 sold before I could get there.
Now I am going to look over a 2005 with 100K, dual exhaust, leveling kit, plus 305/65/17 BFG KM2.
I spoke with the dealer that has the 2008 with 124K and he said it is on hold with deposit until tomorrow.

Should I have a preference between a 2005 and a 2008? Both are optioned the same...

 

2008 id say they have the least amouny of issues my dad works at ford and convinced me to buy the 08 for more over an 06. Ive had no problems at all just hit 60k

 

When it comes to vehicles also look for a stock one. Modders drive their vehicles harder lol

 

+1 to that i wouldnt sell my truck to a friend. No problems so far i just drive it hard.
