ford FXT2 : 2007 5.4,black, black leather interior , ex cab(thing is huge), alloy rims, tri fold bed cover, 36000 miles

well the 2008 4.7 has some ***** stock. The 5.4 is a good a engine but slow. The leather on the ford is a plus. Up to you on this one.

Edit: Well is the 4.7 been modded at all? cause in 2008 the 4.7 had 310 i think stock. Ford had about the same from the 5.4

The ford is gonna be faster because of a more efficient drivetrain. I would still go dodge though A) because they're better looking and B) because they're proven to be more reliable as a whole, although it is the first year for the new 4.7 so there is the possibility for the common first year problems.
