Should I Buy The Dealer's Hitch
I'm buying a bumper pull trailer and the dealer is offering to install a weight distribution hitch for $1,000. They said it is an Equal-i-zer, I don't remember which model. It's my first trailer so ...

Hmmmm....I was going to reply to the OP question but looks like someone else hijacked the OP question.
Anywayz.... to the OP question.
The only F150 that would stand a chance pulling a 9000 lb TT plus folks plus other gear in the truck is the F150HDPP 7850 gvwr and 4800 rawr. It would be a max load to carry and pull with those numbers. Some have no issue towing at max ....others don't like it.
If it was my choice I would go with a F250 gas or diesel....your choice....but its gotta' be a white one.
With the F250 you get a great deal more braking capacity...heavier truck....and not a maxed out truck.
Hitches....I have a Husky Centerline TS 1200 lb bar I use on the wifes 1500 chevy pulling a 10k gvwr car hauler...7760 lb blue tractor with a cab. Makes for a very top heavy load for the trailer 16" load E tires. The trailer now tracks the truck like my GN trailers.
As others suggest if you go with the F250 I would suggest making a trip without a WD hitch. Then determine if the combo actually needs one.
