If you had the 4.30s, it would be no problem at all.
You will likely have to lock out 6th, towing in 5th should work on the flats most of the time. In a strong wind you may be towing in 4th, but should be do able.
If 2wd, it would not cost that much to change gearing, if you feel the need.

And 5th, 4th and 3rd!
If you're just a weekend warrior and not towing in the mtns or very many miles a year then the 6.2 will do a sorta ok job of pulling your fiver to the tune of abysmal gas mileage.
Before everyone asks, just turned in my '13 F250 6.2 company truck. Decent truck,, not impressed with the power or fuel mileage.
