Highway gears for sure don't help. Gutless 5.4 - in stock form, agreed.
My 08 MarkLT is a 4 door with short-box and its within 100 lbs of your truck.
The stock tune on the 5.4L 3V, IMO, is an epic fail. Hypertech found a ton of HP and torque simply by tuning for 93 octane premium with a K&N filter. Improved mileage to boot. Also with the tune they are one hell of a lot more fun to drive.
If power were "everything" I'd have a hopped up something or other diesel. A topic for another day...... agreed -- enough on tow vehicles.
