Hello, we can certainly get you taken care of, please note the links to product reviews and installation videos I have linked. I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14002. This is a confirmed fit to your 2013 Ford F-150. This is a Class IV - 2" receiver with a tongue weight rating of 1,000 lbs. and max gross trailer weight of 10K extended to 12K when using a weight distribution system. This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Ford F-150's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.
For a Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control (see attached help articles) we are looking for something rated according to your loaded trailer weight and tongue weight, which will be 10-15% of loaded trailer. I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # EQ37060ET. With steel-on-steel friction works to prevent and correct trailer sway in this unique weight distribution system. Sway control brackets ensure that your trailer stays in line with your tow vehicle. 2" Hitch ball and adjustable shank included. This evenly distributes weight over axles of tow vehicle and trailer for stability and control and creates a level ride for both tow vehicle and trailer.
If your travel trailer has electric brake axles, I suggest you take advantage of using them. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Proportional brake controller, # 90195. You will need the plug-in wiring adapter too, if you do not already have this, you will need item # 22292.
