It also depends on where you will be towing. If most of the time you will be a "flat lander" then probably no worries. Get in the mountains and especially on a windy day and it will be another story.
I live in the West and the rule of thumb that I learned was there should be a 20% margin between your gvw and the max. I tow a similar size rig with an F350 Dually which is definitely overkill, but I'm darned glad of it on a high mountain road with an 8-10% grade. I would hate to tow this with less than an F250.
