I gotta say; I think this is the best looking half ton truck and trailer set up on the forum. I would have went this way but wanted to keep the use of the truck bed for hauling stuff besides the trailer.
I'm more than happy with pulling power & fuel economy. Engine braking works great in tow mode. 5000 miles towing this year (so far).
2014 Eco-boost, Max tow(11,100 lbs), Heavy Pay-load (2300+ lbs). Trailer GVW 10,560lbs, 7664 lbs dry, Pin weight 1388 lbs.
We have same trailer, love it, recently switched to F250. My old TV was 2012 F150 with 6" lift which made the experience horrible.
Does the lift make that big of a difference? My F-150 tows great, I run the blue ox sway pro, and it works really good at keeping the trailer rock solid with no sway. I have done almost 5000km with my trailer with no issues to speak of with both the trailer or towing.

The lift lowers your towing capabilities. It towed ok with my older 26' trailer but it was an extremely lite trailer. But the wife wanted a bigger trailer with a slide out and we found the Autumn Ridge like yours and fell in love with it. First time out scared the Hell out of me, with the lift the tounge weight was to much and the front end was all over the road. Here's my new setup
2014 Crossroads 32' with bunkhouse and double slides. Truck is 2014 F-150 Platinum w/ Eco-boost, factory tow package, using WD hitch.
Your setup looks very similar to mine. (2014 F-150 Eco-Boost pulling 2014 Crossroads 32'). Any problems with the tongue weight on your unit? Using a WD hitch but still a bit concerned. Off the hitch my tongue weight loaded with battery & propane comes in about 1,350#.
