I did it once and it pulled and stopped just fine.
But I am worried about long term issues.
Engine should be fine as the XD with the same engine has more tow capacity.
This was supposed to be my forever truck so don't really want to get a 3/4 ton.
So...
Don't worry about it?
Buy a 3/4 ton.
Upgrade brakes, suspension, ???

Is this for work or for personal use? For work I don't take the chance of getting ticketed. For personal and work, you'll expose yourself to additional liability if there were to be an accident. I like having the right tool for the job. Having said that.... I pulled skid loaders all over the place behind a Ford F150. Bent the frame and had to upgrade. Don't try to beef up a smaller truck to make it do what a larger truck will do. It doesn't end well.
