I certainly agree that a truck upgrade won't hurt and a dually might make the "feeling" go away but it may not be fixing the problem. You state that the trailer is moving the truck, could it be that you need to upgrade the trailer tires or something else on the trailer.
I towed an early model Raptor FW that was a bit heavier than your FW but one of the first upgrades I found necessary was to upgrade trailer tires. I had a lift on the truck so to help with level I went up in trailer tire size, went to a stiffer sidewall, and that took away a huge amount of the swaying.
I was within front axle, back axle, and trailer axles weights but was over the GCWR of my Ford. Again, not saying that a larger truck is a bad idea but I had 40,000 miles of safe towing with my FW and truck and I would do it again.
