Mine is a 06 LS ultimate with the Handling performance

Mine is a 06 LS ultimate with the Handling performance package. Its a very reliable tank. Drives through the snow just fine. I hit a deer at 70mph and all it needed was a headlight assembly and a header panel. Also getting a go rhino front bumper with wrap around headlight protectors makes hitting black bears a non-issue, believe me I've hit one. Still think the car would benefit if it had 300hp

Awesome boat

If you're looking for a big comfy boat that you never have to work on, this is it. The interior could've used some better plastics, but the dash is straight out of the 90's, in a good way, same as a Vic. The interior holds up well, the 2.73 rear end gives you good highway milage (Got 27 once going from STL to Baltimore, usually 25), plenty of get up and go, and if you want a bit better handling, ADTR has a bunch of quality suspension parts that makes this boat ride flat. The 4.6 2V is one of the best motors Ford built in regards to reliability, especially with the PI heads that pretty much fix the spark plug issue, the variable rack makes steering much more "sporty", if you can call it that, than the previous reciprocating ball, the 4R75E trans is good if you actually service it on time, and if you do have to fix anything, parts are plentiful, cheap, and east to get at, and since every part is the same as a vic besides the the front end and trunk lid you can find them at any junk yard. Bought mine for 7,500 witj 50k miles. 10/10 would recommend.
