You would be better to go to F150online.com for real answers. That said, I've got a 2008 Supercrew King Ranch that I pull a 6,900# travel trailer with no issues. It won't win any race awards, but it has guts enough for a daily drive (about 55k/year) and anothe 5k towing a year. I have been stricly diesel since 1999, so the F-150 can't be all that bad if a dyed-in-the-wool diesel boy is bragging about his F-150.

The new six-speed in the 2009 F-150 is supposed to be fantastic. We just got a 2008 Expedition EL wih the 5.4L and the six-speed and I can't say enough godd about it. It is phenominal. The first gear is low and quick to shift, but I am sure it will move a load with ease.

I read somewhere the new 2009 Ford F-150 (5.4L) is about 0.4 of a second slower than the 5.7L Hemi, but the Ford will also get you there with gasoline to spare, while the Hemi will abuse your gas cap threads from taking it off so much.
