If yours has the 4.6 & its overheating at highway speeds your problem is most likely the radiator. Had highway overheating with mine & I put a new 3 row & that helped a lot. the factory radiator was new but it wasnt enough.

flush your radiator. see if there are any clogs. is the big black tube on top HOT or warm. if its warm then the thermostat isnt opening up. if its HOT then it is but its not circulating past the radiator. When the car is cool squeeze that big black tube and see if the coolant in the resivor tank sloshes around.
