according to one of the documents you'll find buried in these forums, these are your possibilities -

we've pulled a much heavier (weighing 6800 / 600) '82 Excella center bath twin with our 2008 F150 4x4 Scab, 5.4L + 3.53's without issue, so you're likely to be OK.
sorry, we don't have the GVWRs, but you'll find that on the trailer's plate.
your Supercrew is rated to pull 8200 to 8600#, depending on the wheelbase and 2x4 vs. 4x4.
