I pull my 20' Nash 19B trailer with my F150 (see signature) and I have no problem pulling it, except going up inclines greater than 6%. On those occasions, max speed is 25 mph and I monitor the tranny temp.
The GVWR for my Nash is 7000 lbs with a carrying weight of about half that, and a hitch weight of around 350 lbs.
The GVWR for Transcend Grand Design 30' is almost 10,000 lbs with a carrying weight of 7820 lbs, and a hitch weight of 780 lbs (2x my Nash).

My F150 has a maximum towing capacity of 9300 lbs, with a payload of 1670 (or about 1300 lbs after trailer is hitched).
Assuming your daughter's F150 has a payload of 1670, then once she hitches the trailer, her payload will be less than 1000 lbs. Add a few riders in the cab, camping gear in the truck bed and full tank of gas--and poof, your at the maximum.
But the trailer you posted is almost 35’ and your truck is 16 years older and your trailer much smaller and lighter so not sure what comparison you’re trying to make.
Just sharing my experiences.
