I’ve been towing my 8000# (scale weight) trailer since 2013 with my HDPP F150 Eco. Payload is 2560#. Many many miles in the mountain west and I have never had an issue with engine braking being insufficient. I down shift early keeping RPM in the 4000 range and have never experienced beyond moderate use of the service brakes.
Now mileage, it sucks. At 60 MPH it’s 8 to 9 calculated because the lieometer is always 1 to 1 1/2 higher. LOL Bare mixed mileage rarely exceeds 14. I think the combination of LT tires and 3.73 diff kills it.
Keeping my expectations in check but would be happy if I got 10 MPG towing, put in a order for F150 3.5L HD Ecoboost 4X4 Supercrew with the 3.73, 13,800 towing, Payload 2640, 19,500 GCWR

Did you spec out the trailer tow mirrors?
Getting 10mpg depends mostly on aerodynamics and how fast you drive. As I mentioned before you may want a camper shell to keep the wind off of the front of the trailer.
I that that you will be happy the truck. Let us know how it works in real life.
Tow mirrors.. yes
My present tacoma & past F150 got c**p for gas millage, not expecting anything different :)
