I had a 2008 Expy 4x4. My trailer had a dry weight of 6800 lbs, loaded ready to go it came in at 7900 lbs. I could never get the Expy to settle down while pulling our TT. It always felt like it was being pushed around and struggled to make it up any significant incline. The Expy differs from an F150 in the rear suspension. It is a softer independent rear suspension vs a solid rear axle. I looked for an air bag system to try and stiffen it up but they do not make one. i also had a difficult time trying to find LT tires to fit the 20" rims. in the end we ended up with an Excursion and it a huge difference in my towing experience. IMO I would probably look at a 3/4 ton SUV if you are dead set on that trailer or maybe look at a smaller trailer if you really want the Expy.
