We would need much more specific data about YOUR TRUCK to make any recommendations. Ford sells an F150 with a 2.7L V6 EcoBoost with very minimal towing capability and they sell several versions of the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost, some with minimal capability, some with adequate capability for the 24SABWE. IMHO, none of the F150 trucks have the capacity to safely tow the 27SABWE when fully loaded.
At any rate, right now, we don't even know which V6 EcoBoost, what gear ratio, what cab configuration or whether it's a 2WD or 4WD version, so it's impossible to even offer recommendations specific to your truck. That said, generally speaking, the 2.7L is not suitable for towing large trailers and the 3.5L may (or may not) be capable in some configurations, but certainly not in "all configurations" of the truck. Depending on YOUR truck's equipment, you may be OK to tow the 24SABWE or you may be in the "buy a pop-up" category.
Give us more specific information regarding your truck's GVW, Payload, GCWR, RAWR, FAWR, tire size, hitch receiver rating, axle gearing ratio, truck wheelbase, cab configuration, drive type (2 or 4WD) and we can make some more "pointed recommendations"
But, with the current information, any recommendation (other than be careful, you might get in over your head) would be a guess...…
