I had a 2010 Hideout 30BHDS (35ft bumper to ball and roughly 9,800lbs loaded) that I towed with a one-year old 2013 F-150 Crew Cab MaxTow with a 3.5 Ecoboost motor. While the truck was never lacking for power, I definitely think the height and length of the trailer made for an unpleasant towing experience when crosswinds came into play. There were times I would get off a highway and take a back road to get out of the unfavorable conditions. Keep in mind I used this truck to haul around an equally loaded 18ft equipment trailer/bobcat combo and never had a problem.
I towed with it for one season and then upgraded to a new 2015 F250 Crew Cab 6.2L gasser. The F250 did not have the same get up and go that the Ecoboost did, but the setup ALWAYS felt in control, regardless of the conditions.
That's my real world experience.
