BTW, upgrade your tires to LT (Light Truck). I previously had P(assenger) Tires on my truck and in wind, they had a lot of wombling back and forth from side winds. With the LT tires, no wobble at all. Much more stable and safer tow now. Wish I upgraded to LT years ago.
Remember, with a HD Payload or Max Tow truck, with a travel trailer you are limited also by hitch receiver rating. You'll be going over hitch receiver rating with an average 13% tongue weight, and a loaded trailer weight of 9500 lbs with a 2015 + or 8900 lbs with a 2014 and under truck.
You'll need to go to a F250 gasser for an additional 100 lbs of receiver rating or a F250 diesel for an additional 250 lbs of receiver rating. F350 dual rear wheel truck even have a higher receiver rating.
