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...

In the late 2000's and early 2000 teens, manufactures were increasing the GVWR and towing capacity of their truck just by changing the GVWR on the VIN plate.
Just go compare the frames and brakes of the later trucks with the earlier 2000s generation. GVWR isn't simply an axle/tire rating.
