I had a 2011 Ecoboost with over 2000# payload (4x2 SCab). After stiffening the suspension, upgrading to LT-E tires, and adding an Equal-I-Zer WDH, I towed a max 8500#, 28.5 ft long, 11.5 ft tall, 8 ft wide trailer all over for 25K miles. I wouldn't do it without those upgrades (or better, the HD Payload option).
Worked fine except on a couple of very extreme downslopes, and in the mud and wet grass (it was a 4x2). There was a jarring tranny clunk when downshifting downslope into 4th. Otherwise, very quiet, very powerful. Never any mechanical problems.
But I was over the rear GAWR by a few hundred pounds and over the class IV hitch receiver rating. When the drive train warranty expired, I traded it in on a heavier diesel 4x4 with an exhaust brake and class V hitch receiver.
