So is this enough truck for this trailer that I can safely pull it with some margin of error. I am confused, I've read this and heard that, I am confused.

Pretty typical advice of any rv website when all the trucks weight numbers aren't given. Ford markets over a dozen GVWRs and 5 different RAWRs so its important to know which numbers are on your truck.
Ford also markets what they call a "MAX TOW" package...but it has nothing to do with payload which confuses some owners.
Looking at fleet Ford specs shows a F150 7000 GVWR 2270 lb payload 4050 rawr 156.8" wheelbase 3.5 ecoboost engine 3.55 axle sure won't have any problems pulling that small trailer..
If your truck has the 4050 RAWR then it has plenty of safe load capacity.
You have the truck so drop by a set of CAT scales and weigh the trucks front and rear axle separately. Along with tape measurement this helps in proper WD set up.
Many aluminum F150s empty rear axles are weighing in the 2200-2400 lb range which can leave around 1600-1800 lbs before exceeding a tire/wheel/rear spring pack numbers. Keep in mind all the hitch weight and stuff you carry in the bed sits on the trucks rear axle.
That 2270 lb payload is a GVWR based payload which will have to be spread over the trucks axles. Add 2270 lbs in the bed plus empty trucks 2200-2400 lb axle load = 400-600 lb rear axle overload.
Numbers show how using the silly gvwr payload sticker can lead to a rawr overload condition.
Your F150 won't have issues towing that size trailer if your truck has the 4050 rawr on the drivers side door post cert sticker.
