The smooth, quiet overhead-cam engine adds to the driving pleasure. There's no truck-like roar or rumble, no feeling that it starts thrashing at higher speeds. Whether driving around the city or taking an extended highway cruise, the 5.4-liter Triton engine is the most velvety full-size pickup truck engine we've encountered. The smaller, 4.6-liter version is equally smooth, but it's less powerful, and we highly recommend the stronger 5.4-liter V8. It's $665 more, but we think it's money well spent and, besides, you'll probably get most, if not all, of it back at trade-in time. Next Page
