As title. Should i use a 74 or 82 thermostat on a 4.6 110?

I would use an 82. Provided the radiator is big enough, which the standard rad should be, you'll be fine.

I work on the basis that car manufacturers design their vehicles to tow heavy trailers in Saudi Arabia. So they'll be fine over here with our climate with a fair margin.

I'm using a rad supplied by
