how tough is your 5.4 triton

I have been told a lot of stories about the 5.4. Let me hear yours. My 5.4 has towed trailers, hauled wood and done just about everything I have asked it to do ....................and no problems!!!

how about yours??

I hauled a trailer with a 54 Ford f-100 all the way from Colorado to South of Houston, TX in blinding snow with mine back in Feb. And got 16 miles to the gallon. My truck was the only truck on the road that stayed on the road. Now that is tough. Ed

My Expedition hauls my wife daily. One 5 min trip with her, and you'd see how tough that is!
