I have a 14 F150, Heavy Duty tow package. I cannot figure out if my truck will tow this rv safely. Attatched is the stickers from truck and trailer. Can you help?

I didn't get your truck sticker photo, but with your trailer GVWR of 7805, the only models that won't pull that trailer are the 3.7L 4-Valve V6. So, if you have the 5.0L, the 3.5L, or the 6.2L you will be just fine.
I do recommend using a weight distribution system with that large a trailer to not only reduce sag with your truck but also help with sway control. I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET which based on your trailer GVWR will work well for the total tongue weight. Total tongue weight is the loaded trailer tongue along with any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. This system is one of the best and will help keep you safe traveling down the road. It comes with the hitch ball, but you will need a thin walled socket like # ALL643216 for installation.
