I pull with a 03 chevy ext cab with a 4.8 and have no problems what so ever. I have a 1996 205LS hydrasport and have pulled it from Ky to Guntersville at 80 mph with not problems. (very heavy boat) Just make sure if you have a big boat put brakes on it no matter what you pull it with.

I have a 1997 Ford F-150 5.4 liter 4wd and I pull a 21 foot bass boat--no problems.
I feel the bigger the better. More HP if you need it and bigger brakes---you will need that. OD type transmission. Now I do only get about 10 MPG, but I have never owne a Ford truck that got better then 12 mpg.
Good luck.

The Chevy 4.8 is not a bad engine either. I have seen very few problems with them. Honestly, I have seen very little trouble out of the 4.8, 5.3 or 6.0 engines. Other than the plastic intake on them.
