The F150 EB with HD Package is basically a full spec 3/4, INCLUDING A 20% THICKER FRAME.

Everything from frame spec to brake system swept area beats 3/4 ton specs from the recent past.
Supercab 4X2 163"WB 3.5EB - 2700# max avail payload / 11300 towing
Supercrew 4X2 157"WB 3.5EB - 2620# max avail payload / 11300 towing
Hope that helps. An F150 HD will move the OP's trailer fine. And the 5.3 Tahoe is completely inadequate, IMO.
