I have a 5.4 in a lincoln navigator and I like it a lot. Has a lot of power and runs very quiet. Mileage is about 15 mpg for every day driving. It will get 18 mpg if you are on a steady 60 mph trip though. Has a lot of room for a lot of people and is very comfortable and large inside. I think it is actually one of the most practical vehicals I have owned believe it or not. It is hard to find something that will do everything well. I have a F-350 4x4 if I want to haul stuff in a 8 foot box but it is regular cab so it wont haul more than two people and myself, uncomfortably I might add. That gets about 12 mpg. I don't think extended cab pickups are worth a hoot either. Just enough room back there for a couple of small kids or a dog. The four door pickups are ok but the box is so small that is not too cool either. They do not have as much rear seating area as my Navigator either. Not even close. My friend came over in his new HD Chevy 4 door the other day and had two friends with him that were sitting in the back and their knees were in their chest to sit back there. Not a lot of room for larger people. So if you want a truck that can haul people you just about need a 4 door with a 8 foot box and they are huge! If I wanted to do a lot of people hauling I would get a full size SUV and pull a trailer for cargo hauling. Bottom line is pickups and not people haulers, and suv's are not cargo haulers. You have to make a choice. Good luck.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
