I have done lots of towing with an F250HD, an F350 tow truck, and some with a Super Duty. With tow trucks you have the issue that the towed vehicle does not have brakes (unless it is a trailer with surge brakes). It is all about driving for the load and conditions. My E53 with a braked trailer felt better than an F350 wheel lift tow truck with a heavy car on the back, and that tow truck was licensed and set up to tow like that every day.
