The 4.6L 8-cyl E-150: common questions

Which E-150 years have the 4.6L 8-cyl?

1997–2014, without a break — 18 model years in our VIN decode, across 38 factory configurations and 15,371 VINs.

What does a 4.6L 8-cyl E-150 cost?

$9,450 is the typical asking price across the 237 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

Ford — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
