I had a F150 EcoBoost and loved it. Had a small pop-up and was fine. Of course I bought a 34 foot TT, 6700lbs. The F150 towed well, more than enough power, no real issues with swaying, BUT I broke one rear shock on an extended trip. Replaced the rear shocks for ones built for towing and motored on, albeit very cautiously watching the loads I was carrying. My concern was for long term damage to the rear suspension and drive train. Towing so close to, and most probably over, the trucks capacity left me anxious each trip. I loved that truck, but a new F250 Diesel is now in my drive and I don't miss the F150 a bit. Much better control, very stable, tows that TT easily. I'd listen to the advice you've gotten here and stick with a TT that is within your trucks capacity or get a larger truck. You'll not regret it.
