If you are set on keeping your existing truck, get an aftermarket receiver. They can carry over 2000 lbs of tongue weight. Some may even be higher.
I replaced the receiver on my old 2002 F250 diesel with one rated to carry 2550lbs.
It made a big difference in the way my vehicle towed our heavy trailer.
By the way, the Hensley hitch WILL make your rig tow well. I know it is expensive but worth the money for a good towing experience. I purchased mine new for a bit over $3000, used it heavily for about 13 years, and sold it for well over half of what I paid for it. Not very expensive when you look at it that way. :)
Edit: I noticed that you have a F150. I don't think you will find a hitch to fit that truck that will give you much over 1000-1200lb tongue weight except for the one posted above.
