If you decide to try an Ecoboost (3.5L)...you will want one with the Max Tow Package. You are going to be every close to the real world maximum with that size TT. Definitely get a good WD Hitch too.
Can't emphasize the weight distrubuting hitch, it's a game changer. Don't tow without it. I'm towing about the same weight.
