You are right. Pretty much every vehicle rides better when loaded with more weight. I am totally confident that the Tundra will ride very smooth when the bed is loaded down. My point is that I don't plan to always have gravel or stone or etc. in my truck, especially on long road trips. Also I don't think we should have to resort to loading our trucks to obtain a bounce free ride.
I'm sure most of this talk is exaggerated and I still intend to purchase my truck when it comes in, but just hearing all of these stories got me thinking about some of my potential routes and how rough or bumpy they are...
The video is obviously an extreme situation that I most likey will not find myself in.
