Also, with the trailer axles so far forward, the trailer may be "rotating" on the axles and creating some up and down motion on your pin; varying your pin weight as you go down the road.
Pretty sure when you say the dealer installed the “Top” model, you were swindled. Maybe their best top model.
I have been using an air hitch “Trailersaver BD5” for about a year now…absolutely fantastic. No chucking what so ever.
A bit pricey, but so are 5ers!
I will never go back to a non air ride unit again. It removes nearly all of the stress driving on all of the USs crappy roads.
As for the sitting low at the rear issue…The new super dutys are pretty tall. My last trailer did this and I upgraded the tires to one size taller and it helped.just keep in mind this does raise the top of the trailer slightly. I tried lowing the pin box first, but then I lost too much clearance at the bed rails.

Fwiw, I tow a 20k Cyclone with my 2021 F350 Drw psd.
Which model? I had an older 42' ft Cyclone, also rated to 20k, that I pulled with my '04 F350, 6.0. Had NO issues with chucking with just a standard Curt 20k hitch.
Last trailer was a Keystone Sprinter Limited 40’. Current one I picked up a year ago…Heartland Cyclone 4270 46’. Would chuck over most of S Carolina! Upgraded to the air hitch and it completely went away.
