5.4 Towing ability
Would the 5.4 in an F-150 4X4 be strong enough to pull a medium sized (2 horse) goose neck trailer?
I'm concerned about the bed being too tall for goose neck trailers and also whether the 5.4 would have enough "***".

The super duty trucks come base with the 5.4 so i say it probable could do it alot of it also has to do with the gearing in the rear diff also you would need to go from the p to lt type tires just to be safe.

The bed height is actually lower than the SD f250' and 350's. So height isn't a problem. B&W stopped making a goose neck ball hitch for the F150 in 2002 because the frames weakest point is also the mounting location in an f150. I've worked on hundreds of bumper pull/reciever styles in f150's, but I recommend a bigger truck for a goose neck.
Good luck!
