Default Travel Trailer for Harley F150

Here are the specs on my truck:

GCWR: 13,500
GVWR: 7,350

Would this TT be a good match?

If you subtract your hitch weight from your available payload weight, you have about 500 lbs left. Remember that hitch weight is for a totally unloaded TT. Assuming you put at least 800 to 1000 lbs in the trailer, your hitch weight will increase. Remover those number you gave us were for a totally empty trailer.
I noticed it is a crew cab truck. You must subtract all the passengers weight from the available payload also. And you must keep the bed of the truck empty. Back load the trailer a bit.
Yes it can be done safely but just use a WDH and watch you weights. All those items added up real quick.

1148 minus 639 = 509

509 lbs left.
Subtract 150 from your weight and subtract that.
Subtract all passenger weight.
Subtract the weight of a WDH.
Subtract the weight of aftermarket stereo, tool box, tools, cooler, dogs, firewood, chairs, etc. and anything else you want in the truck.
Are you in the negative yet?
Put the battery on the tongue and fill the propane tanks. Put leveling blocks, chocks, sewer gear, power cords, etc in the front storage area.

If you have P rated tires you will want to get LT tires soon.
