Given that the 4.6 3Vs have close to or right at the same HP as the old 5.4 2Vs, I would think that you should be fine for towing 4k(boat?). It would really depend on what kind of terrain that you dealing with, but in of itself, I think it should do fine for you.

Enjoy your truck. The 4.6-3V is a great motor and will do anything you ever need it to do.

Extra weight of the 4x4 did that.

have an '09 F150 XL SCrew 6.5 bed 4.6L3v - just a hair under 25k. I've done a couple of light pulls with it. It's a Champ. It'll pull that boat no problem. When you need a lil extra, just put the hammer down and let it respond... I've not found a place where it has not been enough, yet.

I bought a 2010 oxford white 4x4 supercab 2 weeks ago it now has 650 miles on it. It also is a 4.6 3v but i opted for the 3.73 limited slip axle. I drove a few 3.55's and they were fine but man.. this truck gets around great. It also has the chrome package its a sharp truck. My old truck was a 2003 4x4 supercab heritage edition, traded it with 75k on it. This new truck seems to have more power than my old 5.4 2v but maybe its the gears and 6 speeds. The old 2v 5.4 was a low down torquer, but wasn't much of a free revver.

The ole ball and chain has an 05 MDX and it's not bad for a 6 cylinder. Now my sister's RDX is quite a bit better then the MDX.
