I'm super happy with my 3.5 max tow F150. I've even pulled my Jeep on a uhaul trailer for 5 hours of highway (8000 pounds weighed) and it didn't break a sweat. Boats tow much easier than RV's too. Way less aero drag, less "wind sail" from cross winds, etc.
For 7000 pounds, enjoy the better ride, MPG, parking, and handling of the F150. Plus it's faster.
I would just slo down on windy days up north. Some of those long downhills with cross winds. That sort of thing.
Pulling, no problem, coasting & whipping, that stuff. Good South Florida is a lot of flats & maybe a small fishing boat for Wisc.
Widen your drive too?
I have experienced high winds from the west in Southern Fla. beware of those. ... ...
Yeah those winds can be intense. We hit them a few times when towing our 5th wheel around the state. That's where the F350 DRW really showed it's stuff. We plan to just stay around Clermont Fl for our boating adventures. I don't want to get my boat salty

I really like the area around Lake City. ... S. Fla. was where I had experienced those intense straight-line winds.
I am selling my 19 F350 powerstroke and just ordered 25 F150 3.5 EB. Similarly to OP my heavy towing requirements (14k gooseneck race trailer) have moderated. I am looking forward to a smoother ride and less emission systems headaches.
I test drove a F250 7.3 and the ride was even more punishing than the F350. The 7.3 is an amazing motor and the superduty's are amazing trucks but in the end I want to be able to tow 10k lbs 4 times a year and drive around in comfort and relative efficiency the rest of the time.
Typically when you test drive a truck there’s nothing in the truck. Once you toss a few hundred pounds of tools and other stuff in the truck they tend to ride much better.

that’s right. I’ve put 45k miles on a F250 and F350 powerstrokes. Ride great with a load. Not great. at door placard tire pressures. Better at 45 or 50 psi. The 7.3 is, as I understand it, substantially lighter that the power stroke, so it follows that the ride would be stiffer all other things being equal. All of this is subjective, but subjectively the 150 rides substantially better. With less capacity and capability.
I had a 2015 F250 Short bed & a 2020 F350 DRW Long Bed. I was pleasantly surprised how much better the ride was in the F350. In my new downsized life, I'm enjoying the ride & parking of an F150 Short Bed.

Keep your boat tied up close and your new F150 high and dry looks like another Cat 4 is on it's way.
We are having a wonderful fall back here in Wisconsin. Just getting our 1rst frosts in the Eau Claire area. Day time varies from mid 60's to even into the possible 80's this coming Friday.
