Question type: Car Customization

I hav a 6 cly engine and want more power for towing. Is it possible to swap the

because i just recently purchased a new tranny for over 5000$

The cost and trouble would be far greater than the truck is worth. You would be far better off selling yours and buying a V8 Explorer.
