Yes it can be done with a F150 EB MAX but with a cost.
I have a Max Tow, not Max Payload and it tows and carries my KZ well, most of the time!
Strong headwinds suck, I'm in 4th or 5th gear for hours. I have to count cargo weight like counting calories while on a diet. Full gray and black tanks puts me WAY over payload and RAWR. I have a 200 mile range.
On the pro side I get 21mpg as a daily driver, I have the smooth 1/2 ton ride, the EB can pull the FW up a grade just as well if not better than a diesel. I can park my truck in the parking garage at work, most taller 3/4 and 1 tons don't fit, they have to park on the street when they can find parking.
Cougars were the first FWs we looked at but we didn't find what we liked with a low enough pin weight. We had to shop for over a year to find a floor plan we liked that was within the TVs capability.
Don't get me wrong. We really like and enjoy what we have and have no intentions to change at this time. The combo works great for us as we use it but would I hitch up, pack up and take a four month 4000 mile road trip with it? Probably not.
