Max tow looks to be about 8,500 lbs. The 3.5 ecoboost has a max tow of over 12,000.
Depending on gearing it MIGHT make it, but I'd stick with the 3.5.

My issues, does the specs for "Towing Rating" deal with aerodynamic drag?? My 2.8l diesel has tons of torque, but I still have to pull my 4400lbs of HTT down hills at interstate speeds.

http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/engine/ - We have the 4.0 v6 in our Tacoma, pulling an 18ft. toyhauler with 2 toys in it @7000# and it does the job. (well in the hills here 45-50) Dont know about the ford but I think it would be over pushing it. See if you can test drive it pulling your trlr.
