My personal opinion. If you have to ask questions like...
Do I need a brake controller?
Do I need weight distribution?
..then consider a TT well below your truck's limits (6500lbs sounds reasonable). Towing your first RV at 8,500+ pounds and 30+ feet long in even the most well-equipped half-ton truck will require skill and learned abilities that shouldn't be found from that as a starting point.
I've towed since I could drive and even I am trading up from a legally equipped F-150 to a F-250 for my TT and I don't think my F-150 tows bad at all.
