Check out post #2 in the following thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=391037
The earlier 4.6 had issues with bad cooling of the heads. There is an aftermarket kit to help the issue but if the damage is done you are in for an expensive fix. If you can I would go 2009 or 2010.
I'm still confused. Is the head cooling issue for the 2V or 3V 4.6L?
EDIT: Yikes, more searching definitely says 09-10 is the way to go
