You miss the point, first I didn't have this problem with the Chevy I traded in, second with a 3" squat my headlights will be hitting other drivers at night. If I put air bags on the trailer will be 4" high putting more weight on the rear axel. With the miles we drive each year that will be a problem.

It seems clear that your Chevy must have been about 4 inches lower than your Ford and probably had less drop when hitched?
So lower the truck or raise the trailer would be the solution to the height issue.
I think you would be facing similar issues with any brand of the new trucks.
If you are OK with the level of the truck once hitched, as several have said, drive it and enjoy it.
If not, you must change something??
Comparing to your old truck wont resolve your issue.:h
