Just checked the door panel. Max payload for my truck is 1606 lbs.
quad weighs 688
tongue weight is 625
after adding battery and two 30lb LP bottles to the trailer and wife, two kids and other odds and ends this puts me on the edge and Im not particularly comfortable with that especially on the mountain roads of Alaska where I live.
I guess that leaves me with two options
1. Leave the quad in the garage

I would be surprised if Ford has rated an F150 at a payload / trailer capacity that places it "on the edge". It is likely rated to haul and tow it's rated weight all day every day.
I would be tempted to load the ATV and hook up your trailer, adjust the WD hitch correctly and go for a drive - maybe to a scale to record the axle weights. Then you will know for sure how comfortable you are with the truck hauling at it's rated capacities, and if you want to manage the trailer weight distribution etc.
