I have a 2014 f150. I use my chains on the back if the road is a bit slick. If you lock the diff the steering can be a bit tricky but if you keep it slow (like you should with chains) then you shouldn't have a problem. A word of advice. The is not a lot of clearance between the sidewall of the tire and the shocks and brake line on the f150. Make sure your chins are not too thick and they are TIGHT! after I crank them tight with the chain wrench I still add a couple small rubber bungie cords on the outside. I generally only put the chains on if the road is slick and I'm puling my trailing. I've had the trailer slide off the road and those chains have saved my bacon a couple times. It's better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
