One of these little guys? Not a problem at all. You'll barely need any WD or sway control. The 600 lb tongue weight Equalizer would work very well for an F150 and these trailers. I would set it up like I did mine for ease of hitching and unhitching. I set the head for equal height of the ball to the top of the coupler with the trailer level. Then the tilt so the bars were parallel to the ground while pulling up on them by hand. Then I latched the ball to the trailer coupler and with just a enough lift on the tongue jack to put upward tension on the shank in the receiver, I set the L brackets to be level with the spring bars. Much to my satisfaction, this was just right to bring the front of the truck back down more than half of it's rise without the bars. Easy to hitch and unhitch without having to use the cheater bar. Since I barely need any sway control if any with our rig, I put a little dab of marine grease on the L brackets while putting some on the recommended points on the sockets at the head to keep the hitch quiet. With the trailer you're looking at and an F150, I'd try it both ways and see how I like it. A little Rustoleum gloss black spray touch up every now an then keeps it looking nice.
