I am looking for service experience with Ford F150, 250 and Toyota Tundra 4x4s. Probably 5.4L engine in the Fords and 5.7L in the Tundra. I am in the market and trying to get the +/- and things to look out for. Common stuff to expect?
I will be using it for daily driver, electrical contracting (light hauling), a little offroad 4x4, and perhaps to tow the race car (6) trips a year for 300mi/trip, say 7k pounds. Let me know your opinions and experience. Matt |

My Ford E-150 van has 120k miles. Coil-on-plugs are common on the 4.6L/5.4L motors. There was a switch in... 1999 I think that made the spark plug hole threads deeper. Earlier ones had a chance to blow out spark plugs.
Other then needing 3 COPs not long after I bought it, mine has been pretty rock solid. One of the guys at work has 235k miles on his company 1999 F150. Original motor and trans. |
