weigh the truck then you will know what you can legally carry, quit the bs, weigh the truck, you may be suprised what you can really carry.

Air bags will level it out for sure, I have an 11 FX4 crewcab, with a Truckboss deck ( it's heavier than the others out there) I took two XP's to the scales and weighed them. Too heavy, I can haul my XP and my girls Excel 340. Now that's without anybody but me in the truck and no gear in the truck either, and I'm pretty much legal. Do a search, this topic has been covered quite a bit. Bottom line weigh your truck, look at your door sticker for what you're allowed and finally, check to see what your tires are rated for. I called the scales in Golden and the DOT in BC will take the lower of the two allowable weights. 
I have the same but a lariet. Tried it can't do it. Because of the huge cab legally you can haul maybe 1 sled in the back but even then you will be close to overweight. You can pull lots though more than a dodge 3/4 hd legally. Just can't haul nothing in the back

Well according to Ford your max trailer weight is 11,300 in the right config, my diesel is 13,000, so no you cannot tow more than me.
Max gvwr on the f150 is 17100 lbs your 3/4 hd dodge 2009 megacab to be like type body size is like 18100 or something like that However the dodge weighs 1800 lbs more rare weight so advantage goes to the f150 by about 800lbs+/-
not saying it will tow it better or anything like that just saying that legal weights it can carry more net weight than the 2500 dodge diesel
