I don't know of anyone who bought an F150 to tow. That is what F250s, F350s, and F450s are for.
Aero drag isn't safety related on terms of power of the 3.0. Crosswinds will be safety related but all models will be the same on that respect.
Tow limits are listed on the Euro BMW sites. Back in the day, when the E53 was current, there was an option called Increased Tow Capacity in Europe. It was a no charge option as I recall. I suspect it was a safety label calculated differently. I think it had a maximum grade percentage. The current E70 still has a similar option in Europe.
Do you have extensive towing experience? The driver will end up making most of the difference between safe and less safe.
One more issue is the insurance liability relating to exceeding manufacturer's ratings. Some worry about insurance being void. YMMV.
Good luck.
