Need Extra Power
I have a F-150 5.4L TRITON V-8. Is there a larger throttle body I can use on this truck ? I'M PULLING A 31FT. RV at least 2X a month and need more power without buying a new truck.Please Help !

A larger throttle body is the equivalent of longer intake runners. What you gain on the bottom end you'll lose on the top. Probably the best two modifications, bang for the buck, are a chip and an exhaust system.

My brother has a 28 ft travel trailer that weighs in at 6200 lbs empty. Your 31 ftr must be that or more. That's too much load for the F-150. If you are overloaded and have a wreck-YOU are liable. I would suggest that you run your trailer across a scale LOADED to make sure you're legal.
