i`m not a big fan of ford, so i couldn`t really say anything good except you could probably find one cheap. my toy taco (9 has over 100,000 on it and it runs like it did 60,000 miles ago...perfect. i have had no problems with it except the evap blew out at about 80,000. 2.7 with 150 hp is nice for a four banger truck, toyo reliabilty and the bigest four cyl for compact trucks (i think). nissans are nice to ooooo boost is cool. oh, there are s/c for taco 4`s also.
