6 ply or 10 ply. Would I see a difference?
Towing a 7000lbs tt with F150 2021 w/ 6 ply factory tires. Experiencing some bouncing. Would I see a difference with 10ply tires?would the ride w/o a trailer be too stiff? Thank you MC

Not really.
A 6 ply rated tire should mean a LTxxx/xx-xx load range C at 50 psi which has plenty of sidewall stiffness for towing duties.
Moving up to a 10 ply will be LTxxx/xx-xx load range E at 80 psi. Your F150 wheels can't take those kinds of pressure unless your truck is the F150HDPP that comes with wheels rated for the higher pressures and loads. A load C is a good choice for a std duty 1/2 ton truck.
The advantage of the E tire comes only at those higher pressures....which most 1/2 ton truck wheels aren't rated for.
Pump those load C tires to 50 psi max sidewall pressures.
