Power lags and stalling out... Says ford and the dealers know but they won't tell customers that

That happens to 1/1000+ motors. I've spent hours reading up on it.

You got the 5.0? Or is yours from before they switched from the 5.4?

If I was gettin a new ford today I'd probably get the 5.0

That makes a lot more sense. 1/100 would be comically bad

If I had to guess you could take a 5.0 and be a cam swap away from embarrassing the stock ecoboost. And for less money.
