I was in your shoes this past January. We had a 5k lb dry trailer to get our feet wet but after a year we wanted something bigger. I had a 09 F 150 with 9,300k tow capability. In January of this year we bought a trailer almost identical to the one you are looking at (Keystone Cougar 31sqb). After towing it from Northern Kentucky down to the Atlanta area I was looking at a F 250 and soon traded for one. It's not like the 150 didn't make the trip, but the trailer didn't inspire confidence at all. I had professionally installed E2 weight distribution/sway control on the truck. I knew I'd be over Gross Combined Vehicle Weight with the 150 but I didn't care at the time. With the f-250 we put whatever we need into the truck and pack the trailer the way we want to and the drive is soooo much more enjoyable. Piece of mind goes a long way.
The F-150 is a great truck but with a trailer that size I found the need for a little bigger truck almost unavoidable. Enjoy camping no matter what you get or tow with!!
I've heard nothing bad about Coachmen trailers in my limited time on this forum, or at any campgrounds. My buddy bought a new chapparal 5th wheel which I believe is made by Coachman and he loves it to death.
