SAUKit2Em, My river buddy purchased a 2001 Ford F-150 Supercrew 5.4 litre last summer and pulls a 22' bayliner or my 17'Thorbuilt great. He works sales and covers alot of turf but still gets the same mileage as a smaller V-8. The extra space four doors provides is cumfy on long hauls, plus it does have bed space if you want to haul something in the bed.
