Type of plugs in new 5.0

Does anyone know if the new 5.0 has the same deep seeded plugs as the 3 valve engines? Would hope Ford would have corrected this to make changing plugs easier and keep from breaking plugs off. Have not been able to find this answer anywhere.

Ford fixed that brain fart in mid 2008. The 4.6L had 1 piece plugs since then. I'm sure the 5.0 will have the same style plugs.

I do hope the spark plug issue has been delt with through Ford. It was an issue when it occurred and still should be delt with...... AT THE COST OF FORD!!
From what forum members are saying I think it has been delt with.

I'm pretty sure Goldenpony answered your question. What more expert advice do you need? Nobody will have a better answer for you until the car is released unless you speak with Ford directly, and I guarantee, the dealerships won't have a better answer for you either.
