Nice looking rig!
I have bad memories of the 5.4 issues.....done plenty of work on those over the years, seems some are good, but many are bad.
Hemis are pretty durable, although I’m not gonna lie they break manifold studs as well, lol.

Sadly all of the manu's are having stud issues.
Appears so. The he is use stainless bolts but they’re too thin, so they break.....usually flush in the head, not too bad to get out, but not easy by any means. At least they’re not rotting away to pencil thin remains though.
Liking the Sport , I hear you about getting stranded with family in the vehicle that’s what pushed me years ago to get my Mrs into a new family hauler . I’m on the fence re my next truck & I like that look
Now that's a cool pic!
Congrats on the new truck! I hear ya about the peace of mind of a new vehicle. Old beaters are great until they let you down.
Unfortunately this is often overlooked when people tell me "it's only a few bucks more than I was paying". It's not the monthly payment that's expensive, it's the number of additional payments.
My BIL keeps getting new F150's, and each time it's "the dealer gave me such a great deal I couldn't pass it up!"

Nice truck! How does it handle pulling your car? My buddy just got rid of his f150 harley because of the same issues.. then reverse went. Still got decent coin considering it was clapped out. Trucks really do hold their value.
