My father always kept his Sceptre at a slip, so we only needed to haul his boat a couple times a year over 6-7 miles of back roads. Over the 14 years he had it, we towed it with a '00 S10 Blazer 4.3L V6 (I don't recommend this), a '00 F150 extended cab 5.4L V8, a '98 F150 reg cab short bed 4.6L V8 and a '03 Ram reg cab short bed 4.7L V8. Of all of those vehicles, my F150 5.4 did the best job out of the lot mainly due to the larger motor but also because of the longer wheelbase.

Well said, totally agree with all of the above. Our experiences are very similar.
