I pretty much agree with everything but stopping. That's one of the reasons I went to a F250. My 2013 F150 stops faster unloaded but struggled stopping my trailer. I had a couple of those fit hit the shan moments and blew through a red light one time. I was lucky nobody was coming from the side. I even had the trailer brakes checked after that and I was told they work fine. The F250 will shut it down much quicker in my experience, at least when you're standing on the brake pedal. Again, my experience. Your mileage may vary. And I realize I could have upgraded some things to make the F150 work better but I also knew the truck was going to one of my kiddos. Didn't see much point in spending the money.

I was just wondering about that.

I also wonder whether ford uses different brake pad materials for the various towing ratings, or whether all f150 get the best braking for the entire line.

Braking performance is one area I've always had to improve on my Hondas because of soft rotors that warped within 30 days, and had poor braking when passengers were on board.

I've already priced high performance slotted rotors and pads, because you can't go wrong with better braking.
