I had a 99 F-150 Supercab and then a 2003 Supercrew, both 5.4L/3.73. Loved those trucks! We towed our current TT at 6500-7000 pounds loaded with the Supercrew for 2 seasons. With a properly adjusted WDH, it was great. Performance was ok at best, but it was never unsafely slow. You have two acceleration gears and one cruising gear. 4.10 axle would have been a better match for that engine as it liked cruising at 70mph/2800rpm more than 62mph/2300rpm. So 6500-ish pounds assuming your dry weight is more like 5500 or less should be good. Change all the fluids, probably shocks, and get a WDH with integrated sway control.
Is the integrated sway control that much better than friction? I was reading that you can add dual cam sway control to an existing WDH for about $200.
