7000 pounds dry TT is pushing the limits for the most capable half ton, of which you do not own.
Confirm you have the HD towing package, recevier, 7-pin wiring harness. Also verify your axle code/ratio on the driver's door jam is 3.55. If so, then 6k dry is a fairly good comfortable limit for most half tons including yours.
No, he doesn't have the Max Tow or HD Payload package.
For clarification, I said HD towing package- which includes the trans cooler as the primary benefit for towing any high walled RV.
The 5.0L/6-spd has plenty of power with any available axle ratio. Trans cooling and payload are limiting factors.
The FX4 F150 has the trailer package which includes coolers for oil, transmission, etc. as well as the needed heavy duty alternator and battery. It also has trailer brake controller as well as "truck apps" which includes a very informative trailer status screen.
