Tow ratings are in the owners manual. With 3.08 gears your truck has a max combined(GCWR) weight rating of 10k which realistically means once the truck is loaded with people and luggage your trailer can't weigh any more than about 4k. The axle gearing is killing it for you, with 3.55 gears it would have an 11.5k rating and with 4.10s it would be 13k.
I don't know what Ford was thinking putting 3.08 gears in a truck like this, if I were you I would put a 3.55 or 4.10 swap on the very top of your mods list.
