Question:
will a Trunnion #92-00-0600work with a F150 Pulling a RPOD 177?

From what I found online, the Rpod 177 has a dry weight of about 2500 lbs and a cargo capacity of about 1300 lbs. Since a trailer's tongue weight is typically between 10-15% of its loaded weight, the tongue weight would range from about 250 lbs for an empty trailer to about 550 lbs if loaded all the way up to its 3700 lb GVWR.
Since the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0600 weight distribution/sway control system you'd asked about covers tongue weights ranging from 250-600 lbs, it would be the perfect choice for your Rpod. You'll get proven weight distribution performance along with sway control that works great for mild to moderate trailer sway. You'll also need a trailer ball like # A-90 for a 2 inch trailer ball or # C49FR for a 2-5/16 inch ball. To install the ball, you'd need a 1-7/8 inch thin walled socket. If you don't have one or can't borrow one, we offer them as part # EQ70-00-4800.
