What owners wrote
Truck's steering wheel began to shake violently at approx 65 MPH pulling a camper. Truck was uncontrollable! Truck continued to 'death wobble' multiple times. This appears to be a common issue with ford trucks. If you are not strong enough to hold the steering wheel you would wreck!
When driving 55 MPH, I approached a bridge which was a slight elevation in roadway, I was pulling a horse trailer which was a goose neck. When I went over the change in elevation the truck's front end shook violently, the steering wheel shook so hard it was hard to hold onto, I slowed down the truck to 10 MPH and the shaking went down. This was extremely scarey and dangerous, luckily no one was behind me on the highway and the weather was not bad. This truck only has 20,000 miles on it.
