You need to confirm your actual tongue weight before all else...the number may surprise you. Too much tongue weight can be as bad as too little IMO.
That is kinda what I'm thinking. Too much tongue weight.
X2! I was having the same issues. Then i weighed mine to find out i had over 1500lbs of tongue weight!!! I moved some stuff around and the truck and trailer felt like they were 2 completely different vehicles. The DC is a great sway control hitch, so i wouldn't condem it until everything else checks out. BTW i also had a tire issue at the same time. When i replaced them it really helped with the handling of the trailer. They had put "D" rated tires on a trailer with a GVWR of 11,200lbs from the factory! I had "E" rated ST tires installed and that was the final key in making the trailer stay solid as a rock behind my X, besides improving the Excursions notoriously weak rear suspension.
Good luck!
