If you get on the freeways around Houston you simply can't drive the speed limit and I don't want to be worrying about my truck bouncing out of my lane if I drive over 65... I know the truck is designed to haul payloads (which I will do occassionally), but it should also perform well without payload on highways.

Are these problems also ocurring with the CrewMax?

Anyone having these bounce problems in Houston? There is a portion of I45 through downtown that is very bumpy and I could imagine this exciting the bed bounce phenomenon described here.

Can anyone here speak to how the 07 Tundra bed bounce compares to that of the 05-07 Tacoma? I have never really noticed bed bounce in my 05 Tacoma, but I will start paying attention when I drive over bumpy terrain.
I just drove through Houston at 75 miles an hour and never felt anything unusual. Before I settled on a Limited DC, it tried out the offroad package(TRD?) and it did have a rougher ride. I'm beginning to think people would be better off not watching their asses as they drive.
Edit- You ordered a truck you've never driven?
