I have a 2018 Gen2 that I tow a small toy hauler with, and fully loaded, etc. it is pushing the 8,000 lb threshold and does good. I use a WDH, with around 800 lbs. of tongue weight it had some rear sag until I upgraded to HD Deavers, then about perfectly level. Pic is with OE springs

I have a 2017 Gen2 that I tow a 32' travel trailer with. I knowing I'm pushing the payload capacity (800lb TW), but with the WD hitch properly dialed in I only get about an inch of squat (OEM suspension, 10k+ miles towing).

I've been planning on getting a new truck the first of 2022 and a Raptor is at the top of my list, but I do tow a boat quite a bit and looking at a new one of those as well. My concern isn't so much the trailer weight as much it is the pay load of ~1300 lbs. You add 500 to 600 lbs of tongue weight, ~700 lbs for me, my wife and 2 boys and then a 100 lbs, for hitch and tonneau cover. I can't put anything else in the truck without being over the limit.

Yep that's the rub. You can add timbrens or eventually air bags or a heavier spring but you'll still legally be over the payload...if that matters to you.

Mine hasn't arrived yet but I'll be towing my 2 UTVs on an aluminum trailer. My gen2 did fine after adding the +3 HD leafs, hoping this truck will work fine out the box.
Here's my current setup, way overkill for what's i'm towing.

Very nice Prospector XL. I considered going that route instead of back to a Raptor.

I more concerned about handling and durability.

Don’t get a Raptor then If you tow a lot with a full cab. You’ll be overloaded. Simple

Total weight is around 6,000 lbs. I only towed the boat from the lake to storage so it was only about a 15 minute in town drive. The truck had no issues in that short distance.
