V8 a little slugish?

your EL wieghs every bit of 6,000 lbs...and depending on what options you have, may even be closer to 7,000 lbs.
the 5.4 is a great motor, but 300 HP will only get you so much performance.
not to mention, the Transmission is adaptive. So if you drive it like a granny, then the TCM will learn that and shift accordingly. You have to reset the TCM and drive it aggressively so it learns that aggressive pattern. Not night/day difference, but you will notice a better feel

I have an 07 Limited EL Expy and my wife has an 07 Explorer EB with the 4.6. The Expy is certainly more powerful than the Explorer but the Explorer feels more peppy due to it's much lighter weight. Between the 2, I would much, much rather be driving my Expy. I have a lot more fun with it than my wife's Explorer when I have to drive it.

I have an 07 Expedition (4X4) and it runs extremely well. It mainly sits in the garage and I drive a 2003 F150 regular cab FX4 everyday (with a 5.4) and the Expedition will run circles around it. Around 2,600 to 2,700 PRM this 3V 5.4 really, really wakes up. I can say from experience that some of the very same engine variations will run a lot better than others identical to it.
