What are you towing? My 5.4 with 3.73s doesn’t even start to feel it until you hit 5k+ pounds. Do you have 3.31s? What year and engine 2V or 3V?
If the 5.4 of any variety can’t handle it you likely need a bigger truck at that point for what your doing.....an ecoboost or V10 won’t help you. The 5.4 will handle more than any half ton should be towing and do it safely. If your towing upwards of 10k regularly which it sounds like you are....you should go for a 6.7 PowerStroke F-250 or 350. I owned one for a short bit and it was a good truck....ultimately unneeded and had an emissions issue come up so I dumped it. Was a lot of truck that ended up sitting because I was constantly driving my expy.
The tow rating is what it is because of chassis and suspension. You can’t tow any more with the V10...in fact you’ll be limited to tow even less because your payload will be decreased.
