Thanks Mark! I was impressed with how well it did. It has 3.08 rear gears, and towing the boat has it crying for 3.55s and a little less restrictive exhaust. But on the whole it did really well.
I installed an auxiliary transmission cooler and it never got over 168° for the entire trip. Which is pretty impressive after climbing some 9-11% grades in 80° weather. This thing uses the same 4.6L V8 and 4R70W that F150s used for years.

It had no issues on the ramp we went to last weekend. There's quite a bit of frame behind the axle with the huge trunk, so it would take a really shallow ramp to require the rear wheels to go into the water. I think they were a good 3-4' from the edge of the water.
