I've never personally towed with on of the newer Fords, but there are quite a few threads of people upgrading F150s and having towing issues with the new truck vs the old truck (same trailer and hitch).
My 2016 F-150 was scary when towing more than 6000 pounds. The ecooboost was great but when towing the truck did not handle well at all. After numerous trips to the scale and hitch adjustments by myself and two different dealers, I made the upgrade to a 3/4 ton. I haven't had an issue since.
