Tow your trailer down a 4 mile 6% grade with your F-150.
Than do it with an F-350 SRW diesel?
Decide for yourself which one does the better job.
Of course, you know a prostitute might do 'it' better than a wife, but I'd rather the wife. Don't have to worry about catching the dreaded (insert horrible venereal disease). :W

My truck has gear selector, rotors, and calipers. They are useful for going down a 6% grade.

I don't need to hear how you think that you should have the biggest truck, but I want to hear about my truck towing my trailer.

I'm not concerned about which can do it better, but whethere my truck can do it safely.
A corvette stops better than most cars, but that doesn't mean other vehicles doesn't stop safely
If I came to you for advice on whether my truck can stop my trailer, you should answer that question without bias, and if you are not sure, say that you aren't and are speculating.
If I need additional stopping power while trying to keep my truck, there are low cost options in the form of better rotors and brake pads that not only stops better than factors, but are better at dissipating heat.
Most people already know about big trucks and their ability to tow what they have, but if everyone just went out and purchased F450 dually diesels, they wouldn't be asking for towing advice up here.
There isn't much skill needed in telling people to get a huge 1 ton, just like there isn't much skill needed if a dentist just pull teeth for everyone who walks in his office.
Why not put your years of towing experience on display by informing people whether stiffer trailer tires help with trailer sway, whether increasing brake controller gain help with braking, what about increasing brake capacity with better components, or reducing bounce with better shocks...that is dispaying your knowledge.
Buying a huge truck is a no brainer, and most people already know that is a default choice.

...Should you care to do the math the F250 has a 15-20 mph higher point of critical speed than any F150 and including the hdpp of the same basic cab configuration.
I don't know what that means, nor do I care.
If I came to you for advice, I'm seeking unbiased and knowledgeable input on my truck safely towing and handling my trailer at a reasonable 65 mph or below, not 90 mph.
