Would I ever be happy towing with a half ton truck

I am not sure how the new lighter trucks are, but I towed 9,500 lbs several times a year with my old F150HD Ecoboost. Even towed on a few long trips through the Rockies. I loved that truck(especially tuned) and the only reason why I stepped up to a Ram 2500 CTD is because I got a trailer that is 14k fully loaded which is definitely the max I will ever want to go on trailer sizing.
