I'm seriously considering getting a used 1998-2001 Mountaineer. I have already test driven one with the 5.0 and I loved the power it had. But I have been thinking, should I get the 4.0 SOHC or the V8? My biggest reservation about the V6 is reliability. I remember reading something on here about the timing chain, but that might not be it. On the other hand, I really love the rumble of a nice V8 but what worries me is gas mileage. I don't do a great deal of driving, I only fill up my tank about 2-3 times per month. Opinions?
