Any common problems for the Ford 3.5v6 and 6f50 combo? SWMBO has hit new car time, wants a suv, and strongly prefers Ford. Her dad retired from Ford so there is the z plan to consider. If there are common problems we can do a lease but if it is a pretty solid combo then a purchase might be better. Just looking for some experiences from some Ford guys.

Sorry about that. The wrong thread got deleted.
Anyways, if the 3.5L you are talking about is the latest from the Cyclone family, then I doubt you will have any problems with it. My Mustang's 3.7L Cyclone has been trouble free for the past 2 years and 32k miles I've had it. The current Taurus SHO uses a variant of the slushbox you describe. I haven't heard of any problems with it unless the owner turns up the boost to silly levels, so it should be OK in a more pedestrian application.
