Only with a weight distribution system.
It is only rated for 5K weight carrying.

I just saw that curt makes a 10K/12K hitch for our trucks...
I've seen hitches for other vehicles require dirlling, but I've never seen one for the F-150 require drilling. Who makes a hitch for the F-150 that requires drilling?

I stand corrected. Just like you said, I read the fine print on my F&F hitch, and it said:

When used with a weight distributing hitch
10,000 lb max hitch weigh
1,000 lb max tongue weight
