Navigator Intech Reliability
Hi folks. I presently own a '99 Expedition with the 4.6L V8. We use the truck primarily for towing our RV Trailer. Except for some minor problems which I would consider commonplace with a truck this old (102,000 mi), the 4.6 has been a workhorse.
I decided to explore getting a truck with more ponies and was considering either an X or a Navigator with the Intech engine. A dealer has a 2001 Navigator on the lot with 100K miles for a pretty good price ($10,500). Now, I know the 4.6 is a reliable engine, but what about the Intech? Any folks here would like to tell your tale? If you have used it for towing info on the performance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Follow-on Question
Johnny, do you pull mainly in flatlands or hills. We live in Central VA and routinely pull over the Blue Ridge and down I-81 where it is hilly. This is where I am looking for the performance boost (hills).
Thanks.
