Bought my 4.6 new. Longest I have ever kept a vehicle is 4 years. Still love it. My repair costs have been low in comparison to many. I have 108,000 hard miles on it. I rebuilt the suspension at around 95,000, not because it was failing but I wanted it to get back to how it felt when it was new. I plan to keep the 4.6 when i get my next vehicle, If PPI stands up I would move forward.
