So guys I had an accident a while back and total loss my last truck and now have to buy another and wanted to move up to a full size ride for the V8 and towing capacity. Now I have a found a 2005 F-150 STX single cab 4X4 with towing package and the 4.6 liter V8 and was wondering what you guys thought about this motor and would be enough to tow a 16-19 ft aluminum or fiberglass boat?

I would rather have the 5.4 liter triton in another ford but this truck is selling for a such a good price that I don't know if I can resist ;D -Eddie

That 4.6 has all the coconuts you need to tow a 16-19 foot aluminum or glass without problems.

I drive a 1997 f150 V8. It pulls my heavy 18.5ft Triton 186 Sport alluminum w/ a 90hp motor just fine.

Buy the truck and tow away, it will be fine.   I pull my boat with my Chevy Uplander van with a 6 cylinder.

I have an 04 with a 4.6L, and it tows my 20ft Champion just fine.

Since it has the towing package the F150 will do fine.

It will pull that boat easily, you might forget its back there

My fishing partner 2 years ago had a 98 with the 4.6 that he's been towing his 18ft Triton with for about 8 or 9 years now with no problems.

I have an 02 4.6 F-150 with over 100,000 miles that I pull a 19 foot Ranger. I have had no problems.

The only problem is that its a FORD. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
