Does the Navigator have electronic trailer sway control? Try turning it off when you feel the truck wiggle, you might be surprised by the GOOD results. I wont get into details, but I have first hand knowledge and personal experience with this and certain year/model Fords.

Other advice is very good as well, such as bumping to max cold PSI in those P rated tires that come stock. They are soft and allow lateral movement when towing.
Tongue weight and WHD set up is also very important.
Wheelbase comments are so far off, I can only tell you to completely ignore them. 119" too short for a 20' trailer? Please. I've towed a 26' bumper to ball trailer with a 109" SUV. These long wheel base comments are the same as the "need a bigger truck" comment found all over this site. Ignore such responses!
