You sound like you have a transmission problem.
Starting out a load from a dead stop, there is nowhere to "kick down" to. You should be in 1st gear.
I suspect that your transmission isn't dropping into 1st gear like it should.
Out in normal driving empty, start from a dead stop and count the shifts. You should notice THREE shifts. 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to OD.
When you mash the pedal, the transmission should downshift. If it does not you do have an issue with "kick down."
The F350 is a good idea, but unless you fix your current truck you are going to have a tough time selling it for a fair price. You will have to practically give it away with transmission problems.
