I am looking at an f-150 V-8 4.6L. Would this tow an 19ft boat with no problem?

What year? I have an 09 Supercrew with the 3 valve 4.6L and it pulls no problem. Gas mileage towing has been around 12-13 but tows my 18ft Skeeter no problem and was very impessed with how well it towed my buddies 20' Legend.

I have a 04 F 150 4X4 Lariat with a 5.4 and pull a 21" Triton with no issues. I get about 12-13 mpg without the boat and around 10 pulling the boat.

I have a 2003 f150 with the 4.6 engine and it pulls my 18ft stratos without any problems. It shouldn't be a problem.

Pulled my 18ft for years with my dad's 2001 4.6l. It did fine. Gas mileage was pretty terrible though.

Yea, it will pull it with no issues besides really bad gas mileage.

Nope. I've been planning on installing it but never got around to it. the ball on the bumper is rated at 2 tons I believe, so it's not really a problem at all.
Gas mileage does suck though.

What about gas mileage without towing?
