We just traded in our 2013 F150 EcoBoost with max trailer package (rated to tow 11,300#) for a 2014 Ram 2500 diesel 6.7 because tho' Ford gave it's blessing on our plan to buy a 7200# (dry) trailer, after we bought the trailer and began to tow it (8060 loaded), we were unable to feel confident when going down hill. Truck pulled without issue climbing hill, but wandered in its lane coming down. Same route taken with 2500 using exhaust brake without issue; felt comfortable descending 6% grade. When problem solving our towing issues many experienced towers encouraged us to move to a 3/4 ton for our weight trailer.
