I had a similar TV and TT, 1997 XLT, 4.6L, 3.55 towing a 5000# Sportsman. I changed the gear to 3.73 and that made a big difference.
With that said, I never towed through the Rockies and doubt it would have done well. I understand your concerns.
If you decide to get into an EB realize they are not all the same. The more bells and whistles it has the less payload you will have. Some are as low as 1200#-1400#. Look for a Max Tow with 1800# payload or better or go up to the HD. The HD is not cheap or easy to find but it is the most capable 1/2 ton on the market.
