Towing 39 ft 15.5 k with 1ton Sw diesel - Mistake ??

Was assured that my TV 04 f350 kg ranch PSD SB 6.0L 4x4 would be up to the task.Hate to trade it in but need to be safe. What do you think? What TV do you use for a similar 5er? Been rving 11 months...

I pulled a 13200 lb fiver with an 06 F350 SRW 6.0 and it did pull it but struggled on hills. I traded out to an 08 GMC 3500 DRW D/A and it would leave the F350 in the dust. I could never use the cruise on the F350 and always use it on the 3500. I would never pull a trailer your weight with your truck.

Not bashing the F350 as it was a handsome truck and much more manuverable the my 3500 but it just didn't have the power of my 3500.
