There are options available for the F-150 that put it right up there with the F-250 in rated payload and towing capacity. BUT likely by the time you add them all on, you might as well buy a F-250. In your shoes I would seek out a knowledgeable person at a dealership that sells a lot of both types of trucks, and get the details of what each option adds and what they cost.
You can option an F150 up close to a diesel F250 in terms of payload rating (not tow rating), but then you have to consider that the payload rating on diesel 3/4 tons is pretty meaningless. The 3/4 ton is way more truck irrespective of what the payload sticker says. Look no further than the axle and tire ratings.
There's no way I'd tow a 37' TT with a half ton, regardless of how it was optioned.
