There are many f150’s towing on the heavy side 7.5-9k without issue, then there are those with 6k trailers that struggle.

So a F250 that’s 2,000 lbs heavier can tolerate less than perfect characteristics much better. If you’re lucky and the trailer is well designed and balanced/loaded correctly the F150 may serve you well but you’ll never know until you load/hitch up and go.
