With every new style change ALL the truck makers are trying to make everyone happy to increase sales. The towing capacity goes up, the max. load weight goes up, they change the IFS front ends to try to give it a soccer mom ride. Something has got to give. So the trade off of being able to haul/tow the weight you needed a 2500 series truck for a couple of years ago is the death wobble and general poor handling capabilities you experience with an empty bed.
Put about 200 lbs. back there, over the axle, and you'll see a night & day difference.
