You can tow it but you won't like your milage. I have a '01 SuperCrew, 4X4, with the 5.4 and tow my Carrera 257. Weight of boat and trailer are around 6500 lbs. It pulls great on the flats and down hills but struggles going up steep hills. I have the 3.55 gears and would be much better off with a lower gear ratio. I average about 8-10 mpg towing the boat. I wish I had bought the F250 with the Power Stroke.
