You are suppose to begin with answering my questions first, and completely, then offer alternatives, options and suggestions.

I don't need to hear how you think that you should have the biggest truck, but I want to hear about my truck towing my trailer.

Why lie and misguide people who are depending on your word just because they are vulnerable and gullible.

Why not prove it to yourself.
Tow your trailer down a 4 mile 6% grade with your F-150.
Than do it with an F-350 SRW diesel?
Decide for yourself which one does the better job.

I'm not concerned about which can do it better, but whethere my truck can do it safely.

A corvette stops better than most cars, but that doesn't mean other vehicles doesn't stop safely

If I came to you for advice on whether my truck can stop my trailer, you should answer that question without bias, and if you are not sure, say that you aren't and are speculating.

If I need additional stopping power while trying to keep my truck, there are low cost options in the form of better rotors and brake pads that not only stops better than factors, but are better at dissipating heat.

Most people already know about big trucks and their ability to tow what they have, but if everyone just went out and purchased F450 dually diesels, they wouldn't be asking for towing advice up here.

There isn't much skill needed in telling people to get a huge 1 ton, just like there isn't much skill needed if a dentist just pull teeth for everyone who walks in his office.

Why not put your years of towing experience on display by informing people whether stiffer trailer tires help with trailer sway, whether increasing brake controller gain help with braking, what about increasing brake capacity with better components, or reducing bounce with better shocks...that is dispaying your knowledge.

Buying a huge truck is a no brainer, and most people already know that is a default choice.

At this point I'm not sure you even know what your saying.
Your lack of understanding is apparrent
"whether increasing brake controller gain help with braking, what about increasing brake capacity with better components,".
Adjustments and components are no substitute for having the right truck:S
The right tires should be in place on either platform, the brake controller needs to be set correctly on either platform.
This is not about skill, we are not taking on an obstacle course. Or trying to set records. This is about selecting the correct tow vehicle. I am not relying solely on my skill to tow that RV trailer down the 6% grade.
I know that with the correct truck I can come down the grade effortlessly.
If someone comes to me wishing to tow a 10K GVW trailer on a regular basis without limits and they have a F150 Ego boost budget I'm not going to recommend an EGO boost F-150. I'm going to suggest a SRW diesel 1 ton. Even in its most basic version it will be very capable of doing the job

The 1 ton will tow the 10K trailer with ease and without limits.It will also give the buyer capacity for the future.
Tires, brake controllers,hitches, shocks and any gizmo you care to name are an entirely different subject.
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel or develop some new technique for towing.
I'm simply pointing out the correct tool for the job.

You can break up concrete will a maul. You can use a large Macho drill. You can step up to an electric jack hammer and finally you can get a compressor driven air powered jack hammer.

All of these are viable methods,however you won't learn which tool to use from a brochure or by contacting the marketing department.
However when you actually have experience with the tools you begin to understand their purpose. Choosing the right to becomes a simple decision.
Choosing the right tool for the job is the key to success.
Knowing the right tool based on experience is invaluable.
Once you have found success with the right tool, you will not even attempt the job with the wrong tool....The End.
