1993 Ford F150 can it tow a 24' 5th wheel over the Sierras?

We are new RV owners. Going To Mammoth Lakes from Modesto for a family camping trip. First time to tow our trailer. Pickup is not diesel. What route is the best way for us to tow to Mammoth Lakes....

Leaving July 25th. Pickup is stock LT only has 75,000 original miles on it and is in tip top condition. Automatic transmission, 5.8 liter, Manuel says it can tow 7500 lbs. weight of trailer empty is 3780 lbs. 1985 24 ft Vacationeer. I do not know gear ratio. Can we avoid all the hassle and just go hwy 80 which is way out of our way!
