Let's see... 6790 dry. Add, say 1000 lbs for all your stuff (including DW's and kid's), food, pots & pans, dishes, silverware, cups, glasses, etc. So, now you're up to 7790 and with an approximate tongue weight of say, 12% to 15% of that...will be about 935 to 1170 lbs. So that leaves you with about 275 to 475 lbs for you, dw, and kids in the F150...plus everything else you put in the truck's bed....tools, equipment, bikes, firewood...etc.
yeah, your good there...

Ron... great thing you chimed in with your 2cents to just make a point... If you can't contribute something useful, please don't respond. I deal with enough sarcasm and the like from the crappy public.. I don't need or solicit it here...
Pointing out that you are either at the max or most likely exceeding your payload is helpful IMO. Now you are adding even more weight with the HA. Your passenger car tires are also probably contributing to your uneasy feeling. You really didn't describe your situation in enough detail to determine if 'sway' was occurring or you are just getting pushed around more than you are used to. My guess is the later.
