I think you will have enough payload, the 250 makes a good TV for a TT. I think the limiting factor will be the 5.4 engine. It will help to have the 4.10 gears, but in the wind, and big hills, maybe mountains, you will be under powered with a TT much over 8,000 lbs. loaded to camp.
The 5.4 is a good engine, just not a strong puller.

Thanks, one good thing is we live in south Florida so most of the driving will be flat, we'll have wind, but not much else!
Is the 8000lb limiting factor on weight safety, or just getting horrible MPG? I mean, I would like to know how much I can safely tow minus all other considerations, and then take efficiency, MPG, and work my way down from there.
