Paul -
All pickups do that to some extent. The need to control the weight of
the axle and tires on bumps ('unsprung' weight) while having to be
able to carry a load results in compromises.

Try upgrading the shocks, and maybe even add a rear swaybar. You can
also try some lower-profile tires ... 60-series or so ... they don't
bounce as much as the OEMs do.
