Which engine & 4x2 or 4x4?

I'm curious to see a drivetrain breakout for members. Please post comments if you are satisfied or dissatisfied with the performance of your current drivetrain. Would you buy an X with the same package if you knew then what you know now?

I'm pretty happy with the 4.6 4x4...I don't tow heavy stuff too often but when I do it handles/towes fine...Guy(NH)

I have the 4.6 4x4 and regret it everyday. It is not too bad in the winter, but the summer with the air conditioning running kills it.

I have the 5.4 4X2 with 373's gears. No regrets at all. Gets 15.5 MPG!

Have a 5.4 4x4, the 4.6 was a dog when I test drove it, immediately knew the 5.4 was mandatory (although my wife could have dealt with the 4.6). Still only getting 11 to 12 mpg after 3200 miles of mostly rural driving.

5.4 4x4 3.73 gears. Im happy with it. My only complaints are, it has a lot of road noise, and always had a slight vibration on acceleration.

I got 5.4 4x4, my only complaint is that it needs more power.

I have the 5.4 4x4, averaging 15.9 mpg. Its no race car but it gets me to work and the fishin hole in comfort.

5.4L 4x4.

Its got a lil more giddy up then my 96 F150 had with the 300 I6...

Drove a F150 with the 4.6L in it and couldnt even imagine how doggy it woulda been in an expedition, like the 5.4L though, get around 15.

It's just a plow truck/back-up vehicle for me, but I've been pleased with the 4.6L/4x4. If anything ever necessitates a new engine, I'll likely drop a 5.4L in, simply because it's such a beast, but the 4.6L has been more than adequate.
