Actually the first version of the Triton V10 had between 305 and 310 horsepower and 420 to 425 lb-ft of torque.

Clicky But in any event, that 3.3L isn't anything more than a grocery getter. If you want a grocery getter, it will work just dandy. If you want a tow vehicle, get a real engine, the 3.5L ecoboost (best $600 investment you can make in a truck). Just my Opinion, Yours may vary.","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":false,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":false,\"removeTocMarkup\":false,\"truncateLength\":200})@stringLength":"203","kudosSumWeight":0,"repliesCount":0,"postTime":"2019-10-15T14:04:45.000-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2019-10-15T14:04:45.000-07:00","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":613},"visibilityScope":"PUBLIC","placeholder":false,"originalMessageForPlaceholder":null,"isEscalated":null,"solution":false,"entityType":"FORUM_REPLY","eventPath":"category:RVTalk/community:feyqc97479board:RVTipsTricks/message:3316475/message:3316487","replies":{"__typename":"MessageConnection","pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null},"edges":[]},"customFields":[],"attachments":{"__typename":"AttachmentConnection","edges":[],"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"readOnly":false,"editFrozen":false,"body@stringLength":"928","rawBody":"
Wow. So now everybody thinks 290 horsepower can't pull 3,500 pounds????
That's more horsepower than the original Triton V10 made!
Sure, the turbo motors are far superior, but I don't think that part of the question.
OP - You'll be fine. It'll be spinning fast at times and you won't be able to tow in 6th gear, but it'll get the job done easily.

The 3.3 is not an ecoboost engine. A quick search shows that a properly equipped 3.3 has a max tow of 5,000#. You may want to rethink the truck or the camper.

A quick search would indicate that the 3,000 lbs. you quote is empty. GVWR for the trailer is 5,835. Use 10% of the GVWR of the trailer to estimate tongue weight and add 75 - 100 lbs. for a good WD hitch. Now... what does the payload sticker on your truck say? Remember that gas, occupants and \"stuff\" all count against the truck's payload. The EcoBoost is a good motor. With 1/2-ton trucks it's all about payload.

Good thing our tax money keeps the price of gas down, some need a N14 to pull a popup
