I towed a 31 Cape Horn loaded with fuel with the ecoboost. It wasn’t my truck, but I wouldn’t have done that over any real distance. I towed it 20 or so miles and never broke 50mph. I am guessing it was 7,000lbs loaded and 36ft on the trailer. I launched the boat and pulled it out in 4x4 with no problems. It was just too long and heavy to consider any distance.
I also towed a 26 Robalo with the same truck. That was probably 5,000lb loaded and probably 30ft on the trailer. I towed it 250 miles with no problem at all.
I use the rule of halves. Half the max weight is the max and longer than 30ft is tough on a 1/2 ton.
