[QUOTE="Michael Brown 3, post: 993750, member: 70735"] Hi, New here and looking at purchasing my first Sport trac and was wondering about the 4.6L V8 option. I'm familiar with the 4.0L v6 as I have a '98 Ranger with that engine. It's been a great engine with 153K miles on it but with the extra weight of the Sport trac I'm guessing the 6 won't feel the same. My short list of Sportracs is years 2008 thru 10 Limited models with less than 60K miles but I haven't driven the 4.6L 6speed. I like the idea of the 6 speed tranny of the 8. Maybe lower rpm at 75mph with the V8? How about fuel consumption at that speed? Any problems with the V8 engine or tranny I should be wary of? I'm also looking at the Adrenalin pkg in V6 and V8 but I think drivetrains were unchanged from the standard models. Is that true? There are no V8s for sale close by (that I know of) so I can't test drive the engine. Thanks for any comments. [/QUOTE]
