I highly recommend using an Equal-izer, which uses clamp-on brackets so you won't have to drill along your trailer frame, allows you to back up with the system on, and prevents sway instead of just manages it with 4 points of sway control via friction in the spring bars. Our customers who have used this system regard it very highly, with well over 200 reviews it has averaged nearly 5 out of 5 stars.

Please note that in order to choose the proper weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2018 F-150. So if your loaded trailer had a tongue weight of 1,020 lbs you would only need to add on the amount of weight behind the rear axle of your F-150 to get the correct system, which is one in which your TTW would fall somewhere in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity.

For example, if you did not have much cargo behind your truck's axle, the Equal-i-zer # EQ37120ET, which has a tongue weight rating between 800 lbs and 1,200 lbs, would be a great choice. If you had a couple hundred pounds of cargo behind that axle, the Equal-i-zer # EQ37140ET which has a tongue weight rating between 1,000 lbs and 1,400 lbs, would be the way you want to go. These systems come with everything you need for installation though it is recommended you use thin-walled socket # EQ70-00-4800 to help install the hitch ball.

I've added a link to a video review of the Equal-i-zer system for you to check out as well.
