I have always been a Chevy guy but was seriously considering making the jump to Ford until I heard this. Let me know your thoughts when you pull with it.

Towed my trailer with my 2016 F-150 on the weekend. I purposely didn't use my weight distribution hitch just to see how it would be. It was 100% flawless with no swaying or anything; however, my trailer is only 4000 pounds and it's a tent trailer so not a lot of wind resistance. If anybody is wondering why my tent trailer is so heavy it's because it has a big slide out and is 12' long, which is very big in tent trailer land.
I did read a lot on the F-150 forums about people complaining about the back end being light when towing heavier trailers, so the people saying that in this thread aren't alone. I can't imagine a weight distribution hitch not solving the problem, but I'm not an expert.
