As long as all the weight constraints are met, an F-150 is fine. The "problem" is finding a 5th wheel that keeps a 1/2 ton pickup under GVWR. Pretty much all 1/2 ton trucks have about 1500 pounds of payload, that incldues trailer pin weight, passengers, cargo, etc. Take a light 6000# 5th wheel RV with 20% (lower than average) pin wight, 2 150 pound passengers and you don't have anything left for the $200 pound hitch in the bed or other cargo. The numbers are just too hard to make work.
