Towing Advice
I have a 2017 3.5L Ecoboost. Per the door sticker, its payload is 1670 pounds. I have always used a Equalizer hitch Prior to this past summer I had a 2014 28RBS Cougar that had Dry Weight of 6700...

What size trunnion bars?
Undersized can create instability.
Another issue is going to be payload with that size trailer.
Tounge weight will consume a big chunk of it and you have to consider all passengers and cargo in the truck as well.
You want my honest opinion for a better towing experience and for piece of mind.....go with a GVWR trailer that your truck can comfortably tow and consider 12 - 15% of this weight as tounge weight and see where you stand regarding payload.
That Sporttrek is a nice trailer but a lofty 35 ft long and will most likely weigh 8500 or so which will give it a roughly a 1200# tounge.
If your in love with the trailer then it's time for F250/2500 series truck and don't look back.
