Nope, it's a bastard child. Good tough engine though.

Did the later plastic truck manifolds have the cracking issue. I know the truck engines had aluminum intakes up to around 2000.
On my former 2002 Explorer 4.6L, the Romeo 2v had the plastic intake with aluminum crossover tube. That was the first upgrade. It still relied on molded groves in the plastic flanges to locate and support the o-ring style gaskets. Still a weak link. Mine was puking from the upper plastic groove after it burst.Did the later plastic truck manifolds have the cracking issue. I know the truck engines had aluminum intakes up to around 2000.
Look up the fordtech guy on youtube, he has indepth of every part of a 5.4 3v and the trucks they were on. It hurt's to say, but those engines do seem like they are junk. The oil pumps fail and the spark plug issue/hassle, just not worth it. Ford also put some fuel relay thing that is alum on the metal frame, so it corrodes and just will leave you stranded without warning.
Ford could have kept the Crown Vic line going just on LEO sales.Hard to argue against the 2v 4.6
Think of how many miles the police crown vic's have with those 4.6 bullets

I really wish that Ford had done that, kept it LEO and or fleet only...I think chevy had some degree of success bringing the caprice ppv back for LEO only. The crown vic was so beloved by police and civilians alike, I am still dumbfounded by fords decision to kill it.

Solid truck. Personally i think the 09/10 were the best of the 05-10 generation. You got the updated cam phasers and 6 speed autoWell my 2009 F150 with the 4.6l Triton has 215xxx miles and still going strong. Mind you I did have to change all the pulleys.
