Does anyone tow with F150, 5.4L, super cab, 4x4, 2005? If so, what do you tow? Bought the truck before rv came up. Don't really want to trade.

You need to determine the towing capacity of the truck. Do a Google search "Tow Capacity f150" something like that and you'll get lists of tow capacity. Find your truck and it will tell you how heavy of a trailer and hitch weight your truck is rated for.
If your RV is heavier than the rating, you'll need a new truck to be safe and get some life out of your truck.
If the RV is within the limits, then make sure you get the correct hitch setup and a good brake controller for the truck/trailer. A good RV dealer or repair shop can help you with that.
We pulled a 23ft Travel Trailer with a 1978 Dodge Ramchager with a 318 V8 (4. something liter). The ramcharger handled the trailer very well but is was at the maximum capacity for the truck. The truck developed all kinds of strain related problems in the engine and drivetrain.
