I have a 97' 150 4x4 with x-tra cab and the 4.6 and I tow a 17' Ranger
with 115ob and I think the total package weighs somewhere around 3000+. I
have near 140,000 miles and I have no problems. Not only does the truck run
as good now as when it was new, it also pulls the boat up big hills with no
problem. I only hope you're talking about a 4x4 though. I'd hate to get
stuck on a launch ramp with some mud in a 2 by.
