Since when are you concerned with following the rules?I’m comfortable with a lot of shit.I could tow a boat with a Yugo if I had to, I’m more concerned about being legal.
4WD is a nice to have feature but it’s very ramp dependent whether you need it or not. Obviously the bigger the boat the more likely the weight will need more traction to retrieve it, but even though we have 4WD on our vehicles we rarely need it at the ramps we use with that boat. Granted we run AT tires which might get more grip.

And that's a GM so of course it can handle that. Remember the question is about Fords... should be asking what kind of tow service will tow your truck along with boat to the river and will they launch the boat as well.My buddy use tow his 25’ Daytona with a S-10, 4.3. He would go 100easy miles to the lake, never had a problem.
Funny thing is when I got our 25 Daytona we had an Expedition, towing, launching, retrieving no issues at all. Momma wanted a suburban, so we got a suburban and first couple times we launched with it we had trouble retrieving. I ended up having to provide a little extra forward momentum with the prop to get it out. After the small lift and new tires it wasn't an issue, but after spending that kind of money on a new tow vehicle it was pretty upsetting to have the issue.
He had this crowd going for a while back in the day with the Gay jet boat owner from the midwest.... I think RD even stuck up for "the new gay member" before they figured it out.
McIntyre Park, Riviera, and a couple lakes here in San Diego. I got a bigger truck pretty quick.
