Thanks for all of the comments. It appears many of you have a decent ride when towing with the identical vehicle so perhaps it is an issue with the combination or the trailer. I will attempt to find someone to test tow the trailer and maybe I might be able to find a similar weight trailer to test tow with my truck. Looks like it may be time for a trailer upgrade anyway to perhaps that will be the solution.
I've owned 6 different fivers and only one had a bad ride. And that was obvious in the first 100 miles. All my trucks have been 6.5 ft bed, either extended cab or crew cab. Anyway, the problem was totally fixed by scrapping the leaf spring suspension for Mor/ryde's IS suspension. Kept the trailer for 7 years, towed it over some pretty rough roads, but never felt like we needed to stop towing.
