They seem to have escaped the dodgy batch of stem seals that the 2.6s were afflicted with. If looking to buy a 2.6 look carefully for signs of oil consumption.
Other than that, they're about the same. There's a checklist of things to be wary of in the FAQ section, I believe.

I can't recall a 3.2 with this problem, but I, also, could be wrong.

Precats tend to fail early. Solution is to move lamda sensors rather than replace cats
