For what it's worth:

2004 5.4 v8: hp - 300 hp@ 5000 rpm
Torque - 365 lb-ft @ 3750 rpm

2009/10 4.6 3v: hp - 292 hp @ 5,700 rpm
Torque - 320 lb.-ft. @4,000 rpm

it's a relatively small gap compared to what it used to be.

The 4.6 has more horsepower at the rear wheel then the 5.4. I think it has about the same torque at rear wheel but look it up www.f150online.com/forums/chips-tuners-programming/387491-superchips-now-supporting-2009-f150-v8s.html . Its the 7th post. It has less low end power but peak its better. To answer your question neither engine is going to be overly powerful with 37 inch tires.

I have it and have towed a trailer with a 4500lbs jeep with very little effort. Everyday driving it is great.
