The F-150 will work BUT the question is for How Long???
When I got my 23 I had a F-150 V8 automatic with the limited slip rear end it was a short bed with the small cab and it worked just fine.
The problem is in the transmission I fried mine after a few years. It had the towing packet with the extra transmission oil and I changed it out every 40,000 miles.
I have burned out transmissions on most every towing vehicle for the last 40 years.
This time I kicked it up a notch and went with a F-250 with the V-8 gas and limited slip transmission and the super cab. Now I am sure I will never burn out another transmission pulling a 6,000 - 7,000 boat.
