The only thing hard about a clutch on the V6 Rangers is weaseling the transmission between the Y pipes and on the torsion bar 4x4's the torsion bar mounts (a 4R70W does NOT like to fit between those stupid mounts...).
I towed around 2500lb of enclosed trailer with a 350X 3 wheeler and a bunch of camping stuff and pallets over a mountain pass several years ago (like 10) with the '90 in it's semi current configuration... got like 12mpg with a 7500lb total weight... it did just fine, I kept it slow, it was the year before I got the F350 so after that played safer and towed the Ranger over for the guys trip...
