Currently driving an '03 XLT with the 4.6L V8 with 145K miles. It has been a great vehicle but starting to show its age. I will not buy new; never have and never will. I am debating with myself whether I should spend a few thousand on the '93, i.e., replace the motor with a rebuilt 4.6 or 5.4 with some cosmetic and tech upgrades all of which would probably run $8K-$10K spent over the next 12 months By rebuilt I mean basically stock but with cams and some mild head work, hi flow AC, etc.; not a race motor.
Or replacing the older Expy with a later model and have been looking at '12 to '16 models. I was not aware that the later models are also available with the Ecoboost V6. What is the opinion on this forum between these two options? If the opinion is trade up, should I stick the Triton V8 or opting for the Ecoboost V6?
