"Maximum tow weight" will be somewhere between 5100 and 6400 pounds, depending on just which F-150 you have (size, trim, final drive) if and only if you have the factory trailer towing package or "Max Tow" package. Real world limit will be something less, reduced by weight of trim packages, optional equipment, passengers and cargo.
Google "2013 Ford Towing Guide" to get the PDF of Ford's 64 page document. The information is also in the F-150 Owner's Manual, but you still have to know your equipment. I'm not where I can copy and paste the link.
Without the towing package, there is still a towing capacity, but for the 3.7 it is something quite a bit lower.
If I already owned the truck, I would set my sights on something with modest frontal area and a GVWR under 3500 pounds, like an "egg" trailer 17-foot or under, or a folding camper. This is where I was with a V-6 Ranger and why I traded that for a one-ton van.
