I made the mistake of buying a 2011 F250 6.7. Pulled the trailer great, but had to add airbags. I knew I was overweight and that bothered me. March 2014 we purchased a F350 DRW. No comparison in the quality of pulling. I would not go back to short bed and SRW. You will be able to pull the trailer just fine, just overweight.
Same here with my purchase of a 2013 F250 6.7l. I assumed since it was a 3/4 ton Super Duty it could pull anything. Then I started researching these forums and became educated on all of these tow ratings. Yes my truck has enough power to pull anything the dealership had on the lot. I too have airbags and they are needed for sure with my new camper. But only pulling it 2 hrs to the house from the dealership I knew I seen a dually in my future. Like I said it pulled great but stopping was way different compared to my old 5er.
If your FW is pushing you around while stopping, your brakes aren't adjusted correctly. The trailer brakes should stop the trailer...fully, and you truck should only have to stop itself.
