Well i finally broke down and bought my dream truck. Its a 08' F-150 4.6 4x4. Now the Ranger can become a project truck, and the F-150 is my new DD.

What you all think?

She's a real Beauty. I Like the F-150's ALOT. And the 4.6 will give you all the power you'll ever need (unless you need to haul big loads). Congratulations.

My old man has an extended cab, long box 2008 4.6 F-150 and I find it's rather sluggish. I'm not sure it even gets better fuel economy than the 5.4. Nice truck though, regardless.

Thanks everyone, yeah I thought getting the 4.6 would save a little gas, but vehix says they get the same, but I don't do enough hauling really to justify the 5.4 so the 4.6 will be plenty, and it sure beats the 94 2.3 I'm use to. I want to do the leveling kit, and just put some nice A/T's on it for now, and a nice exhaust.

those trucks are AMAZING my friend had a 05 f 150 crew cab 5.4 4x4 an dam did that think ride amazing an it was suprisingly good on gas, but he decide to upgrade to the 08 f250 extended cab short box cuz his parents have a 30" camping trailer an the f150 struggled towin it. nice truck to but doesnt drive like a f150.

but anyways you got yourself an amzing truck hope you like it

oh god I hope your kidding.I've driven a few and there is no torque.I wouldn't wanna haul or tow anything bigger than a fat guy.You've obviously never driven an old 5.0 or 5.8.Ford needs to bring back real motors and real trucks.The days of real trucks with real engines and real axles are gone.
