^But then there's the folks who claim the aluminum beds on the new F150s make them too "light" and that's apparently a cause for making them tow really squirrely.
Bottom line, for the OP, based on the word "happy", tells me all I need to know about the OPs approach. He is not technically adept, nor has he towed a lot, and while his current truck will do the job safely ( provided its in good shape, being 9 years old, we don't know what condition the truck is in), the feeling of "happy" can only be achieved once a person "thinks" they've solved their dilemma.
So in this case, has nothing to do with brand of vehicle, or how it's equipped, but rather the stigma that this model is inadequate in some way.
Have to remember, the OP originally compared 2 of the same exact chassis trucks (08 and 11 GM) one with a presumably 5.3 4 speed and the other with the 6.2? 6speed.
Same truck, same chassis, one with more power than the other.
Now thinking similar chassis (new F150). Don't think it'll be his cup of tea either.
