The white one is the best deal, but I would look for one with the 5.4. The 4.6 is weak and sucks if a trailer is ever hooked up.

you might regret the 4.6 over the 5.4 but it depends on what your goals are

And one last thing the white one has a filter of some sort I believe oil right behind the front bumper on the drivers side is that normal I've never seen that before

That's a remote oil filter. Makes it easier to change.... Way easier I'd say lol that's one job I dread every time, but I finally got a system.

So I just thought of this ya sure the filter is easier to reach however the oil plug is still in the same spot right so essentially more work since they aren't in the same spot

No the filter is up on the side of the motor where you can't reach it. They aren't right beside each other
