2007 Nash 27e
We are (probably) going to get this trailer and I am just looking at opinions. Tow vehicle is a 2013 F150 crew cab 157" wheelbase with ecoboost 3.73 gears/max tow. Payload capacity is just under 16...

If you have any problem, it will be with the tongue weight of the trailer overloading your truck's GVWR (Payload), hitch receiver rating (probably 1150# with WDH?) and/or rear GAWR (4050#?).
For some reason all my trailers have had over 15% of the trailer weight on the tongue when loaded, despite catalog ratios of only 12-13%. My current 7500# loaded trailer has about 1100# tongue weight and I'm right at the truck's weight limits even with a >2000# payload.
It tows fine, but I have to be careful loading the truck and trailer to stay at or under my limits. You may end up in the same place if the tongue weight of that Nash is upwards of 15%.
Nash is very well balanced. My 23D is 7000# GVWR vs the OP's 7700#. Loaded and ready to go my tongue weight is 850# and that is with a 150# generator on the tongue. (I have a Sherline Tongue Scale.
OP - dump those tires. I bought a new '10 F 150 along with a new Springdale 18' TT. The P rated tires were very squirrely. After a trip to Les Schwab for LT's it was fine. They even gave me $ for my old tires.
