I would step up the tire to a c or d load range. Most likely you have a p load on there. The stiffer side wall will help out more.

I have an e rated tire that was the first thing I did. I upgraded the shocks after my second trip not to the bilsteins though.

Any updates? I feel the same way about our new 2022 Timberline. Love the truck, not the swampy feel when towing. Heavier tires and sway bars are on the short list.

E tires and 65 psi will improve stability.

I guess I will just go buy a new F 150 it sounds like it might be cheaper lol. I’ve upgraded the tires and shocks. I will look into the sway bars. The reason I bought this was the seating capacity with a 9000 pound towing but it just feels weird when towing I eventually get use to it just takes half a trip to re a quaint myself with its idiosyncrasies

I would just say get used to it, nothing wrong with it just a different feeling. I feel it too, but you do get used to it. For what it's worth, I have a 2007 explorer with independent suspension and I don't get the sensation while pulling the exact same 5,000lbs trailer. I think the bigger rims, my expedition has 20's, causes some of the feeling.
