Your tongue weight will be about 910 plus the weight of the hitch, you will most likely be more than 150 over. Ford 150 eco boosts generally have higher payloads and they ride better than a 250.
Sort of.
Typically the Ecoboosts you might find on a dealer lot will NOT have a high payload.. In fact you might find that they have a payload of 1,400 lbs which would be similar to what the OP is planning to use.
To get a F150 with a higher payload it MUST have "max tow" payload and that will top out around 2,200 lbs..
Comparing that to a F250 there is no comparison.. My 2013 F250 super cab 4x2 short bed has a cargo rating of 3415 lbs.. If you go with 4x4 crew cab and long bed you would still have 2,600 lbs payload wich is still more than a F150..
The only caveat is is you get a DIESEL then you would have a cargo rating about the same or a bit less than a F150 with Ecoboost and max tow package..
F150 Ecoboosts with Max Tow typically must be ordered..
