Had a 1999 Lariat 5.4 triton with 200,000 on it and loved it, but was kind of leary pulling both horse trailers and boats with that many miles on the automatic trans.I was going to keep it for a farm truck but was still able to get a pretty good trade in on it soooo.I didn't change the spark plugs in it till 120,000 and it seemed like I got worse gas mileage with the new plugs.I have a 2007 f150 crew now with the same engine and like split said just doesn't shift the way I like it, but have no problems engine wise.As for gas mileage I have to agree with what has allready been said.

I bought my husband a new 2006 F-150 with a Triton V-8 engine, with all the bells and whistles for his birthday. He absolutely loved it but, unfortunately, I was pulling a U-Haul trailer and the brakes locked up and it jackknifed and rolled over 5 times. No way to repair it, totaled, and almost totaled me. Emergency (or someone) had to cut it apart to get me out. It got 24 miles over the road and 18 miles city driving with not much change pulling the boat - the camper lowered the gas milage.

A week later my husband went and bought a new 2011 F-150, Triton V-8 engine with all the bells and whistles. He loves it and says it gets great gas milage for a V-8. Most of his driving is over the road, 25 mpg, (at about 75 mph) and he has had absolutely not one problem with it since he bought it about 1-1/2 years ago. We both drive using the cruise control which I think helps to control the gas milage.

They have great lumbar support that really helps after a day of fishing. You can adjust it to fit an aching back. lol
