The 11-14 F150 HDPP trucks have 7 lug wheels that are distinctive. The 15+ ones go back to 6 lug but are also a distinct design only for the HDPP. Check out the brochures for pictures of those wheels.

A less capable tow vehicle is going to be more work to drive and that adds up the further you tow with it. You mentioned 12-14 hour trips -- to me that would call for a lot of overkill in towing capacity.
Are you towing on flat ground, or over high mountain passes?

We're based in Minnesota, so at least we don't have any major elevation challenges. Would like to make it out to High Plains in CO, but I believe that's pretty gradual.
Our lemons team has enough trouble keeping the race car going during the race weekends, and even the nearer race locations make for long and tiring weekends, so good point re: the advantages of having a plenty capable tow vehicle.
