I got a new-to-me '13 F150 / 6.2L / 7700 GVWR a couple months ago and had my first significant tow today. All up it was probably 6500 - 6800 lbs. Man this thing is stable and has great power. The trailer has excellent 4 wheel brakes and was easy to coordinate with the truck for a nice unified braking effort. After jockying the tractor a bit to get the tongue weight right it was rock solid at 55mph. I really like my "new" truck. 
In the second picture, it has more tongue weight than it appears. After getting it where I liked it, I pumped the airbags up to about 28-30 psi to level it out.
Off to the county fair tomorrow. The tractor and engine (both running) are exhibits my boys are showing through FFA, and were both bought by my Grandfather circa 1939.

I love old farm equipment. Our first tractor here was a 1924 Farmall "Regular". Of course it had steel wheels. Get it in the sand and it wouldn't pull but dig straight down. We ran red equipment from '41 to '92 and then turned green and have been green ever since.
