Default 2012 Handling Problems

I have a new (7,000 mi) E-150 van and it handles poorly on the highway. It's top heavy, but when passing an 18 wheeler on the interstate it get's blown to the side. When I correct, it seems to over correct. Are these new vans just bad in high winds and passing large trucks at interstate speeds or could there be a problem with my steering? I'm just wondering what others have experienced. If you have one do you experience the same thing?

I had a 2006 E-250 and it handled better than this one.

Thanks,
Rich

all of them catch a side wind like a sail boat in a huricane it might be that your steering is a little too tight the E250 's are a bit heavier so they don't get blown all over the place like a E150 does
