I was in the same situation but not quite as bad. Had an '11 F150 EcoBoost with P rated tires and a 1400 lb payload. Trailer weighed in loaded on the scales at almost 8,000 lbs.
An Equal-i-zer hitch certainly helped the situation but the minimal payload and P rated tires still made my ride stressful.
Traded that F150 for an F350 diesel that has 3500 lbs of payload. Towing problems gone.
You may buy some time upgrading to LT tires and dialing in your hitch but in reality, your trailer is too long and heavy for the F150.
