Did you try rotating tires? Might explain why it drives straight with some weight on it. It did happen to me once, I couldn't believe it would make that much difference with fairly old tires.

A big key is that it resolves when the bed is loaded. Check the rear suspension for problems: sagging springs, wheel bearing, tire, etc.
