You were WAY too heavy. Not familiar with Fords, but a half ton anything is not going to pull a 350 with wheel weights and loader. Every part of your truck, from the engine to the rear axle was overloaded. On the other hand, my 92 half ton GMC had no trouble pulling a Super H as to power and handling, the transmission was the weak point. I try to not to hold up traffic, meaning if I can't run 60-65, I have no business on the road. In Kansas, the wind is the killer, much more so than our "hills". As Hugh said, a properly positioned tractor will not sway. If your springs are too light, you need a load equalizing hitch. You also need trailer brakes. Yes 3/4HD-1 tons will pull more weight. With any truck, you must match the weight to the truck you have, both for power, load capacity, and safety.
