Steering shaft and steering box might be wore enough to cause some problems. Look into replacing those two items. Could also be tire pressure and or bad tires. Maybe swap the rears to the front and see if that helps. BTW, welcome to DB!!

I have an '06 identical to yours - bone stock - the wife drives it most of the time - never had any probs with it. The steering is very tight. My '03 Ford had that prob and ended up being the tires. I would swap like wildbill said. Welcome to the site and good luck!

Sounds like load range D tires to me. I know everyone says that the load range D with the same lbs rating as the load range E are fine but trust me they aren't.
