Thanks for the info... That does seem a bit low for the 4.6.. That sounds more like the 3.7 V6, but anyway.... ;)
Good job on getting your rig up to specs. Sounds like you know what you are doing and you know your truck, so I'd think as long as you keep your weights within the door jamb stickers, you should do fine.

Finding the right TT is totally up to you however.. :)
I'm towing a 22', #5000 GVWR TT and it's nothing for my 13 F150. I also towed this same trailer with my 97 F150 that had a 5.4 V8 in it and it towed fine with that too, but a totally different horse compared to the 13.
There is that perfect trailer out there for you.. You just gotta find it.:)
Good luck,
Mitch
