Since you specifically mentioned the physics of the weight difference between truck and trailer, what is the difference between an F150 towing 13K and an F350 towing 21K? The proportional weight difference is exactly the same.
Towed an 8k TT with a friend’s ‘15 F150 5.0 with a 10.5k tow rating. IMO, it felt like it was at its limit. Power and handling were “ok”. Can’t even imagine 13k.
To each their own.
