OK, I've read many of the comments, replies, and statements here on this message board, but can someone out there give me advice on the towing capacity of the Ford 4.6 Triton V8? Is there someone out there that has towed with this engine??

I have a 5000-lb. boat that I want to tow. Am I crazy to think that I can tow this thing SAFELY with the 4.6 V8, including the 3.55 axle, with the factory towing package? FORD says that it will tow up to 7,000lbs, yet many of the messages here on the board say that are ridiculous!!

And will the 5.4 V8 solve my problem. Here in southern Californian, the 4.6 V8 are more available than the 5.4 V8's.
