Expert Reply:
When setting up your Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution (WD) System # C17500 it is best to measure the height of your 2016 Ford F-150, front and back, before installing the TruTrack and hitching up your 2014 Surveyor Cadet 201RBS (see attached from page 2 of installation instructions). Pickups actually tend to sit high at the back so if you leveled out your truck you are likely raising the front tires some which is why you are experiencing the steering wandering.
If you try to get your F-150 front and rear measurements within 1" of the factory ride height then you should start feeling better traction with your front tires.
Let me know if you are still having issues and I can help you troubleshoot further.
