One thing I forgot to mention, is that with my E2 hitch, the included factory shank did not have enough drop. When using weight distribution it is critical to get the ball height on your truck the same or as near possible to the coupler height of the trailer. Both being on level ground of course. These 4x4 Rangers have a high hitch mount/opening for departure angle. My Truck ball height was 22 5/8" on the lowest setting and my TT coupler is 21". That takes off tongue weight (sway and porpoising) and makes the weight distribution/sway control set up nearly impossible (to have anywhere near ideal). The bottom line is, make sure you take your time and check your set up. Also try to keep your load balanced. My travel trailer has the black tank in the very back. If I were ever remote camping and had to tow home with it full, that's about 250 lbs behind my trailer axle. Common sense, and reasonable speed matter!! I think I read somewhere that Ford list 60 mph the max speed for towing with an F-150. Here's a video that shows what happens when people don't use common sense. A small car passing you (#13) changes the airflow around your trailer. You need to be alert and driving at a reasonable speed.
