When I bought my truck last year, I drove both the 5.7 and 4.7L
versions. I'd never read anything about the little V-6 and there were
none on the lot, so I didn't have a chance to check that out. I bought
the 4.7 because it had well more than enough power to move itself out
of the way of trouble when needed, and plenty for hauling around the
sub-1-ton loads I carry.

When gas was $4/gal, I wished they'd offered a 4-cyl version. Coupled
to the very efficient 5-speed auto trans, it would probably have had
enough power for most of my driving needs.

P.S: I'd like to meet Janna Dake. She looks interesting.

I read his article on (Dec 17, "Put Madoff In Charge of Social
Security") last week and really like the guy.
