Just saw an R-pod look alike from Palomino, yesterday.  Should have taken a pic, but didn't.

I talked with some fellow campers that had a Winnie drop. It maybe different then what you are looking at.  I went into it and really liked it.  It had a walk around bed!  I would love that.  However its dry weight was a 1000 lbs more.  So probably two much for an F150.  In a year or so I will seriously look at one because of the bed, especially as we get older.  
We love our trailer, no regrets.  But, don't stress your TV or when we have we have been stressed.

Not that I have an issue with the Drop, or with someone liking it.. but I am pretty sure an F150 can pull upwards of 6000lbs in it's most basic form. Our Expedition does have the heavy duty tow package, and weighs more than an F150, and is rated at 9200lbs towing. Our other TT is around 6000lbs empty, and the eX pulls it just fine. So a 4500lb TT should be OK for you.

You must be referring to the Micro Minne from Winnebago. It's a tandem axle and has normal travel trailer width. The inside height is much shorter than the R-Pod. I think it's only 76" ceiling. 

None of the Winne Drop models have a walk around bed. Their layouts are EXACTLY like the R-Pod models.
