Yes.

Also - edit: I have a 2011, not a 2012.

The hitch helps with the window clearance by sliding back.
The 145" wheelbase supercrew 4x4 ecoboost with 3.73 axle is rated as follows:

regular configuration: 9,600lbs total trailer, 15,500lbs gross combined weight rating (truck + fuel + passengers + gear)

max tow configuration: 11,200lbs total trailer, 17,100lbs gross combined

And as previously mentioned, if you don't have the heavy duty payload package, you're exceeding your bed payload capacity with that hitch and tongue weight. (judging by the 20" 6-lug Lariat wheels, you don't have the heavy payload package).

You sure about that? You probably have the max tow package, but maybe not the heavy payload package. I think...

If you have 6 lug wheels, you don't have heavy payload

Where do you find the axle ratio for any truck? Is it posted on the truck or in a manual?

It was in the manual. Dont remember the section. I'll dig it up for a future post.

6 lug wheels, no HD payload.

Get that combo on a CAT scale and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you're blowing your ratings.

Yeah, I'm barely legal with less pin weight and HD payload. I'm sure it will do it. I'd get air bags in that thing asap before you bottom hard.

Without having the HD pkg and having a lariat with every possible option i want to know what your payload sticker reads on the inside of your drivers door??!! I'm willing to bet your over your max payload with just the 1550lbs of pin weight from the trailer never mind the weight of the hitch, passengers and whatever gear you put in the truck. And you still haven't even added anything to the trailer yet. I have the Max tow pkg on my truck and my trailer weighs 7500lbs with a tongue weight of only 950lbs and I'm only 160lbs shy of my trucks GVWR(7700lbs). Sorry to say but When your loaded up ready to camp you will be way over your GVWR and rear axle rating with that trailer.. Be safe!!
