The Fastway e2, part # FA94-00-1000, you looked at is rated for trailers with loaded tongue weights between 600 to 1,000 pounds. In order to know if it's the right system for you load your trailer as it'll be when you're towing it and find the tongue weight. I've linked an article outlining a few ways to do this, the easiest being with a tongue weight scale, part # e99044. Once you have the trailer's loaded tongue weight add that to the amount of weight you're going to add in the back of your 2018 Ford F-150 behind its rear axle. This total number is what you want to fall within the 600 to 1,000 pound range of the Fastway system. If it doesn't then let me know what your total figure is and I'll recommend the appropriate system for you.

I think the additional part you're referring to is a pole tongue adapter which is part # EQ95-01-5950. Ice Castles have a pole tongue which doesn't leave anywhere to connect the brackets of the Fastway system so you need the adapter. If this isn't what you're referring to let me know.

You also need a hitch ball to go with the e2. From what I found the Ice Castles use a 2-5/16 inch ball like part # 63840 but you should verify this for your trailer.

Answer 1

That is quite the pole tongue! So the the Pole Tongue Adapter part #EQ95-01-5950 can work on your trailer as long as there's clearance for it on your frame. This would need to install between 27 and 32 inches back from the hitch ball center.
