The F150 does not have monster brakes, so even if you had a 460 with 4:88 gears, you would not want to pull a really heavy trailer. Personally, I would not want to pull anything over about 4000 lbs with F150 brakes.
Trailer brake controller????

Your trans is either a c6 or aod. Do you have an "OD" position on your column gear selector????
