Well, even with 4x4 it could still have a 3.31 rear end.. But, the 6 speed helps with that a little..
Sounds like it's just your standard "tow package" rig, which gives it a "tow rating" of no more than #9000 depending on the rear end gears.
All the info you need on the functions of the truck are in the owners manual. If you don't have the actual book in your glove box, you can get it online.

Look at the yellow sticker on the drivers door. That tells you how much you can load in the truck. Looks like you figured out the weight stickers, so the yellow one is in the same area.
I tow a #5000 22' TT with a Max Tow 13 F150... It has a "tow rating" of #11,000 but there is no way in heck I'd even come close to towing that much with my truck in a travel trailer format.
I've been towing trailers of all sorts since the mid 80's and this is what I feel comfortable with because I've towed overloaded before, and it's just more enjoyable to not be maxed out at my age now.. ;)
I would go to as much as a #7500 fully loaded travel trailer with my truck, but I don't really need that much trailer and don't really want to buy a new one now..
Anyway, I'd stick to around a #6000 GVWR TT for the most part to start off with and when you gain the confidence in that and feel you need to go bigger, well, that's where all the $$ start leaving your bank account! ha, ha!
Good luck!
