1995 F150 towing capability
Yes, F150 ratings are higher for automatic transmissions.
bigmike09 --- Your 94 F150 supercab with 4.9 and auto trans is rated in the Ford towing guide depending on the rear end ratio:
GCVW 3.08=9000lbs, 3.31=9500lbs, 3.55=10,000lbs
Max tow 3.08=4300lbs, 3.31=4800lbs, 3.55=5300lbs

I just love reading and seeing what Ford says the "max towing capacity" is for my truck, and see how much over that I have been... I just think its funny, since my truck has a max. GCVW of 10,000-10,500 (geussing 10,500 since I have 4.10's) and right now there is about 14,590 lbs. hooked to the truck (4820 lbs.--20' equipment trailer, 8970 lbs.--S250 Bobcat with tracks on, and an 800 lb. industrial grapple) and then add the weight of the truck about 4400 lbs. So that is a grand total of about 18990 lbs. Opps.. looks like I didn't flow the rules again. I hate it when that happens.

PHS79, Holy crap. You are by (if I read it right) buy 10,000 pounds?
My truck below is rated at 5,000lbs. I've towed my trailer full of water at 6,000 and it didn't have a problem at all. What frys me is that if I had an auto, my rating would be 2k more. Either way, I still want a manual tranny for towing. I don't think it's the tranny that is the weakest link, it's the crap clutch...

Ford hauling
When it comes to a work truck you can't beat a ford. I have driven ford all my life and they have always outpeformed the rest. I had an old 1972 1/2 ton with a i6 300 and put 4800 on it once the bumper was almost on the ground but it went down the road, slowly of course because there was very little steering since the front wheels were bearly touching the ground. Theese days I try not to abuse them that bad but I know if I needed to my ford would get it done.

That much weight will make any small block v8 feel sluggish. Is this your first time towing that much? After reading on here of people pulling a million pounds with their half tons, you get high expectations. What those people forget to tell you is that they get 3 mpg and cant get passed 35 mph.
You will notice 6k+ pounds, don't expect to feel peppy.

Towing my 3k pop-up down to Norfolk and back was a nice experience, but I was slow out the gates till I hit the powerband, which for me was around 3k rpm. Once I was up to cruising, it was 4th gear and ok. 5th gear was a rare choice but I was rolling at 2k in 4th most of the time. Stopping was ok with the brake gain at moderate.
