2001 4.6
I bought a 2001 XLT 4x2 with the 4.6 as a back and forth to work vehicle. I already have an F-250 4x4 for hunting and towing. My question is this..am i going to be horribly disappointed with my choice of engine? I got an exceptional deal on the 4.6. Does anyone have any recommendations for add-ons that will increase that will increase it's general driveability?
I realize that the 5.4 is a big improvement on the 4.6 but is the 4.6 useable

I've had both the 5.4 and 4.6. If you're not going to be using the 4.6 for towing, I don't see where you're going to be disappointed at all. The only time I wished for a larger engine in my 97 4.6 was when I was towing a '67 Chrystler from Boston to Maine. There were a couple times I thought the hills were going to kill the truck. Other than that, I never found the truck to be underpowered.
