With a weight distribution hitch, you might be OK.

I pull a heavier camper with a 2001 Expedition and a 99 F150 both with the 5.4. I do have the equalizer hitch, wouldn't even think of it without. When pulling in hills or into a strong headwind it works it pretty hard, but once I get up to speed it rolls along great.
Make sure your trailer has brakes on it.

Look in the 03 owner manual at pages 167/168 for the listing that matches your truck for motor size, gear ratio, and tire size/diameter.
Listed is the Gross Combined Weight (GCWR) you may not exceed 'regardless' of trailer weight.
Good luck.
