I have towed a landscape trailer from 3000 to 6000 lbs with my F150 5 speed and it can be a pain, particularly backing up. If 4wd, shifting to 4L helps depending on turning and surface conditions.
I like manuals, but really the current automatics are much better suited to towing. 6+ speeds, tow/haul mode, lock out gears, and manually shifted autos make it hard to justify a manual transmission.
I will conclude by saying that I have the original clutch on my 18 year old F150, and tow now with a 2011 F250 auto.
