Are you saying I should change my oem cooler for an aftermarket market one? I read since I have the tow package it came with a larger cooler than non-tow package cars.

Nah, you should be good on cooling. Do the fluids... engine, trans, rear, differential etc... you will be good.
The best advice I can give as a "fair weather" tow-er, you are not out to win any races, easy on the throttle and brakes as much as you can be to be safe. Light off line throttle is key to powertrain management, even though it can be frustrating, especially with traffic these days.
Not sure if I posted this already but the early 2.7s had problems. Not that they are all/or bad just a thought.
My neighbor has a (not sire the year) one of the first ones.. 3.5 EcoBoost 150s, maybe a 2010? He had the injector failure? or something when he first got it - they fixed it and to this day he has that truck. Not sure the mileage but I am sure it is way north of 100K. He towed his travel trailer all over the place and has a utility trailer that he uses often.
Hit or miss.
