1994 f-150 towing capability

I'm trying to find how much weight my 1994 extended cab F-150 can safely pull. I've been pulling a Jayco 1406 tandem axle with no problem, which has a gvwr of 3330#. We're looking at a new camper with a gvwr of 4721#, and I don't know if my truck will handle the extra weight or not. How do I find out for sure?

What engine, rear axle and tranny do you have? If you can pull it with no problem your fine. The towing ratings are way underrated.

It's a 4.9L I-6, the rear axle is 3.55 non LS, and its an automatic transmission. I currently do not have a transmission cooler, but I will probably have it installed, as a safety measure.

If you have an owners manual it will tell you all the info you need to know. If not, someone on this board can look it up for a '94.
