The 4.6L 8-cyl LS: common questions

Which LS years have the 4.6L 8-cyl?

2007–2017, without a break — 11 model years in our VIN decode, across 56 factory configurations and 36,041 VINs.

What does a 4.6L 8-cyl LS cost?

$15,999 is the typical asking price across the 783 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?

1UR-FSE — 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.
