Expert Reply:
I recommend using a Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution hitch to connect your 2020 Ford F-150 and your triple axle boat trailer. You will most likely need a Pole Tongue Adapter # EQ95-01-5950 which will attach to a tongue 1"-5" wide and 2"-5" tall. You will need to select the correct weight distribution from the list below depending on your tongue weight when loaded. If you are unsure we do have a Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 you can use to verify the weight so you get the correct system.
800-1,200lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 12,000lbs # EQ37120ET
1,000-1,400lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 14,000lbs # EQ37140ET
1,200-1,600lbs Tongue Weight, Trailer Up to 16,000lbs # EQ64FR
