Failed Emissions

I have gotten bad relations with ford too. They don't like to tell you what it came with, they want to know what you want and that's what they'll sell you. Hard to get a straight answer out of them.

You might be best to go to the Ford dealer on this one. They will most likely know best and I'm sure the part will only be a little more expensive than elsewhere.

I myself have gotten more than a few incorrect replacement thermostats from the average parts discount place (CarQuest and Advanced Auto, to name a few).
I agree, and the Motorcraft OEM thermostats seem to maintain a
more constant temperature, and last longer than the after market
thermostats.
