I had a 5.4 in the old "light duty" body style F250 truck. I had to put 4.56 gears in it to tow a 12K lb 5er, but it ran 4000 RPM in drive(not over-drive) pulling that RV for most of the 100K miles I had it. And it ran and pulled just as hard at 100K as the day it came off the transport. Wasn't too happy with spark plug placement, as it took me most of a day to change plugs, but all in all it was a very capable truck. It could come up out of the river bottoms with a full load of wood, better than my current PSD dually.
