Does this hitch make sense for me?

I have a 2009 F150 4X4 5.4L w/tow package, and believe I need a weight distributing hitch to tow an airstream (we're thinking either the 25' or 27' flying cloud). The hitch hookup on the truck itself is rated for 10,500 w/ a weight distributing hitch. Here's what I'm looking at:

Trunnion Weight Distributing Hitches - JCWhitney


It comes with a free sway control bar, which I may not even need since my truck has sway control build in.

Would that hitch be acceptable? It has 1000 lbs tongue weight (the airstreams we are looking at are about 750 lbs) and a max tow weight of 10,000 - the trailers are under 7500.

Thanks!
Bob
