Is there something wrong?

I just got a new horse trailer, 9K unloaded and drove it home, about 150 miles. At first, even though I was going 70, and just at 2000 RPMs, it seemed to be at the max it could do. After about 100 miles, it then seemed I had more pedal. Is this normal? Does the truck recalibrate itself or something?

It was a brand new trailer, and I adjusted the brakes to only 5, a couple of others said go u'p to 6.5. I started out at 2 and when I could tell the trailer would surge going down hill, I went up. Man, hope I didn't burn the out. Called, Ford and am taking the truck in.
