As I told Mike, I believe the gvw will come in just under 8,000.  Is that 
still too much for the Nav?

Just my $0.02,  Unless that is a long wheelbase Navigator, I would not
pull a very heavy trailer with it.  Tail wags the dog, so to speak.  I
have a 97 expedition, Nearly the same frame.  With the rack and pinion
steering and short wheelbase, it is not a towing vehicle....
