First, don’t get a trailer with brakes on both axles. In a panic stop with any trailer, if the braking system can lock up all the wheels on the trailer you’ve then completely lost directional control of your trailer and it will come out from behind your tow vehicle into the adjoining lanes of traffic. There must always be a least one trailer wheel that freewheels in order to maintain directional control. Second, You will be fine pulling the trailer with the F150 as long as you don’t exceed the tow rating. Start adding a lot of equipment and that can happen easily.

SC and I think FL require on both axles if over 3k lbs. That’s the first thing I do when I get trailer built out though is adjust brake controller so they don’t lock up.
