Question 5 years towing with V6 van just got F150

So I have been towing my 5,000LB camper for the last 5 years with a 4.3L V6 chevy van.

I use equal-i-zer hitch and prodigy brake control.

Now that I got this 5.4L V8 truck what difference can I expect?
I'm pretty damn excited right about now and hope its not a long winter, I'll be dreaming of that "easy tow" for the next 6 months

Towing with the van I would keep it at 50mph (90k) I guess now I'll be able to bump that up to 60 eh? (100kph)

Transfer the Prodigy and the the Equal-i-zer. You will very likely have to reset the WDH to fit your new ride height, firmer rear suspension, etc... As far as towing, you should be able to cruise at 60 with no problem.
