On my last camping trip last year, at Gifford Pinchot State Park, I saw a guy roll in with a large 5th wheel being pulled by a 15+ F150, SuperCrew (Crew cab) with his family of 5 in the truck. I even remarked to my wife that the truck had to be overloaded. That big 5th wheel really dwarfed that little F150. It seemed to pull it fine around the campground loops, but my mind started thinking about that rig on the open highway, at highway speeds and a big wind gust would hit that large 5ver. I could see that turning ugly pretty quick.
Can it pull it? Maybe. Safely? I can't say without seeing all the weights and specs.
As others have said, to each their own. So long as your within all your limits. However, just because you can do it (F150 & 5ver) doesn't mean you should. I also wonder what one of those "heavy" F150s would cost in relation to a basic 2500 series truck? I'd still rather have my 2500 series than a beefed up F150, but that's just me.
Just my .02
