You may want to upgrade a couple things depending on how hard or far you're pulling, like a transmission cooler if it doesn't have an external cooler, or maybe the rear suspension. But at that, you have a wd hitch so suspension shouldn't be a problem.
Hooker up and go!
If it was an Eco Boost Ford max tow whatever.........
Payload rating, RAWR and rear tire load ratings matter just as much regardless.....150/1500, 250/2500, 350/3500
Simple math.
