Did you look for an HDPP version? Would have saved yourself some $$$ and gotten an even more suitable truck. They are the top dog in the F150 towing lineup. I am very happy with my 18 HDPP. I've done nothing but rear shocks to it, and tow similar weights to you.
IMHO anyone towing over 7,000 should get an HDPP. A bit disappointing that Ford stopped offering them with the Lariat trim in 2019. That's what sold me on the 2018.

The top tow rating for the 2019 F150 in the clicky above is with the Supercrew, 6.5' bed, 3.55 rear end 2wd and it is 13,200lbs. The line below it for the max payload package (3.73 rear end) shows 11,700lbs. So, you actually lose 1,500lbs towing going with the max payload. Granted, you probably want it for the tongue weight but that is not what the Ford book shows as top tow config.
You can spec out a 2019 F150 Lariet with max payload package, just click on the 3.73 axle. But you do still lose access to a lot of other options when you do that.
For some reason I can't share the link to the build and price as a clicky.
