The rig in my signature “engine brakes” better than any gas tow vehicle I’ve had including GM’s 5.3, 6.0, and 6.2. BTW my 5er weighs 10K lbs so it’s not exactly light for a 1/2 ton.
Assuming the OP has speed an F150 equal to this rig, I seriously doubt there will be an issue towing the trailer they have speced. I would also suggest the smoothest exterior walls you can get vs the lighter corrogated aluminum. Yeah Al is lighter by 400-600 lbs vs a smooth fiberglass wall. But it will cost you .5-1 mpg in lack of aerodynamic wind flow!
My 2014 gas GM 4.3 is as good a performer, grade braking etc as the BB454s I've had. I'm sure the newer designed 6sp vs 3 & 4sp auto trans helps. The EB has 50'ish% more HP and torque than I have. I would think it would perform well.
