So, you can't tow a 7,000 lbs trailer with a F-150. Almost 3,000 lbs under max trailer rating and 900 lbs under max tongue weight - unbelievable.
OP isn't asking to tow 7000 pound trailer with 900 pounds of TW. Loaded like typical RVer and he's closer to 8000 with 1100 pounds of TW with high front and side area. That's pushing the capabilities and possibly exceeding receiver, rear axle, and gross vehicle ratings.
By the way, for about $600 you can change that 3.55 to a 3.73 or a 4.10 and tow like no tomorrow.
Performance from the 3V 5.4L and 6-spd trans isn't the problem. But I guess one would spend $200 on air bags to fix the overweight problem too!
