My questions. Will my Ford be able handle the Fuzion 260 with any problems or should i look for a lighter Toyhauler.

Will the Ford be able to pull it? Yes. Will it be able to handle it safely? Not likely. By the time you put your three toys in the back plus all of the usual camping supplies, the 3 of you in the Ford and more stuff in the truck box (hitch, eg.), you will most likely be beyond the safe towing capacity, payload and ability of that tow vehicle to do the job.
If it were me, I would be looking at an F250/F350, 2500/3500 Dodge or GM - even if I were to purchase a smaller toy hauler.
