Sorry for the long delay in providing additional info.
Tires now have 2,000 miles on them and I tried to pull again last week with the same results. I increased the tire pressures to 65 psi front and 80 psi rear to the door sticker specification and it did not help. I still experienced the same level of movement. I have also noticed an odd very small shake while not towing at highway speed.
Last week, I took the truck to Ford and had then go over it and they indicated that everything looks good and they cannot find any problems anywhere. I had them do another alignment as the last place left the steering wheel off several degrees and I was not going back there again.
I talked to the place that I bought the tires from and they are ready to exchange them without any resistance. Reading a lot of posts, it almost seems like no one agrees on which tires might be a good choice. As I mentioned these were Continentals which were a direct replacement as that is what the truck came with new.
Thoughts on which tire brand to go to now?

A year later you now have 2000 more miles on the truck? Wow, with that few of miles you could just rent, unless you drive it like 4 miles a day or something.
I'd bet a weeks pay there's not a d@mn thing wrong with the tires. And why do you keep going up on pressure?
What size tires? 65psi up front on a gasser would have to be really small tires like 245 75 17s or something, or they're too full.
80 in back, even with the weakest LT tires out there that fit your truck is good for over 6klbs on the rear axle.
Let a bunch or air out and see how it handles.
How many HD tucks and how many sets of tires have you used on them? There's about a 99% chance it's the driver and not the tires.
