It's because it's from Ford.....they are cutting back on everything.....LOL
It probably is for easy of installation/removal past the exhaust manifold and other assorted crap in the way.
Mind you, I've always used Fram or Quaker State filters with no issues. Just a little tricky maneuvering and patience.

Size is nothing to worry about. Small and efficient is better then a larger, less efficient filter. Not only is it about the actual filtering quality of the media, but also the actual surface area of the media. Ever see a filter on a Japanese engine? Super small. I always run OEM filters. Just changed mine last weekend when I did the heads.
What oil do you guys run? Personally I run 5-30 synthetic. I find Fords 5-20W a little odd. This time I used Mobil 1 instead of Castrol because it was on sale for $5.30 a quart.

That just big business, they got us paying the same for less. Wal-mart must of had a very large supply sitting in storage somewhere. I use the FL 400s filter on my 2.3 and thought I had one in the garage for an oil change last time. I didn't so I got the Wix brand and was told once the OEM change sizes the aftermarket follow suit.
