Love my 2019 F150.
That said, at the size TT you have, I think you should only consider a 250 for starters, better yet a 350. Single rear wheels.
While on paper, the F150 with Max Tow Package meets the weight specs. Many would say you could more easily get "the tail wagging the dog" with that size trailer. Yes, it would tow that TT but comfortably so?
One spec few reference is maximum recommended frontal area. For all F150 TT towing, it's 60 sq. ft.
With some bargaining, you can often get the next level size truck for not much more, comparatively, than the maxed out for towing lesser vehicle, according to most here.
You're in a good RVing position. You've planned to buy a truck, and will already have the TT to spec out the truck with.
Ask the dealer to hook up and test drive that TT with the F150. See the reaction ;)
