And 97s have side exhaust.
Most 96's should have that fixed. if they're not talk to a local dealer adn see what can be done (I beleive it was recalled or a TSB)
Personally I like the 5.4 better then the 4.6. But both are fairly good engines, not too many issues that I'm aware of (the 5.4 is a gas hog btw). Don't look to mcuh at the Eddie Bauer if you're just looking for a truck, the more goodies it has just means that there's more goodies to break adn fix.
I think that there are 97's and 98's that are probably goign for the same price. Also may want to look at what you'll really use the 4x4 for. 2 wheel drive will save substantially on the gas and much cheaper to fix/insure.
Good luck
