The most important factor you need to know when picking out a weight distribution system is the loaded tongue weight when you are fully loaded and ready to tow. Most likely the Strait-Line Weight Distribution # RP66074 that you referenced would be ideal for you, but without knowing for sure what your loaded tongue weight is I cannot say for certain. I attached an FAQ article on how to determine tongue weight for you to check out also.

You will also need to consult the owners manual of your 2012 Ford F-150 to make sure that you do not exceed the towing capacities of your vehicle when towing this travel trailer.
