I don't know, he didn't really say. The 4 banger will be there a while he only had one of those, but he said he couldn't keep the 4.0 SOHC's on the lot for more than 2 days. In fact he sold one of them before it even got off the truck. The cat loved the vista blue metallic paint and bought it without even looking at the price tag. I heard this rumor about 4 years ago, and today his certified letter confirmed it as to the exact date.

The last time was in 2008 IIRC.
Among other reasons, It's built in the oldest Ford plant that Ford says doesn't fit into it's supply chain anymore.
