There should have been some weight restrictions for towing. With some of these ultra light trailers it might be possible. You may want to talk to the dealer about adding extra cooling to the engine.

I used to tow a fiftwheel with a 1998 F150 that had a 302 in it. It did a good job and I was towing one of the older heavy models. I think that they said that it wasn't rated to tow that much but I did anyway and never did have any problems with it.
