An 04 F150 with the 4.6 is still the old 2v version, but has the PI heads (better power than the 4.6's earlier on). It's probably got a 3.55 rear gear and that's not too bad if the tires are still the stock size. The 5.4's of that generation had a 3v engine and had some issues of their own, but they all do, right! :)
Don't know much about the Titans, except that on the earlier models the rear ends tended to overheat when towing heavy. Later models had an finned aluminum cover to help with the heat.. Just make sure the Titan has the finned aluminum cover.. ;)
I'd say if you can get either for a decent price (something like 10k or under) and they are in decent shape it will handle your current trailer just fine.. Be careful however.. It may tow it TOO GOOD and that will get you thinking about a bigger trailer!! :)
Good luck!
