Not a F150, but I towed with a 3.5L 270HP V6 Toyota Highlander for more than 140,000 miles (both work and play). My TT for much of that time was a 16' 2700 lb KZ Spree Escape E14RB. 7' width, 100" tall. I towed it through the Rocky Mountains several times.

In most conditions, it was enough power to do just fine at 60-65 mph highway speed.
