New tow vehicle and trailer, experiencing ‘chucking’

So finally picked up our 5.0 on Friday, yippee, love it so far. However the towing experience is not smooth, in fact it can be quite disconcerting.

I believe I’m experiencing what is called ‘chucking’. A general feeling of jerkiness and being pushed by the trailer even when cruising at highway speed.

Tow vehicle - 2022 F150 2.7EB, towing capacity 10,100lbs, payload 1900lbs

Hitch - Anderson ultimate rail mount.

Driving in tow haul mode, truck + trailer are level as far as I can tell.

Trailer tire pressures at 56psi at cold.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
