I'll try to borrow the video camera from work next week and try to film this in my truck. Lots of interesting comments in this thread, but you either experience or you don't... simple as that. For those of you that have no problems, don't disregard our comments about the bed bounce because it is quite real for some of us. If I didn't drive the highway I take to work, I wouldn't have experienced it either. The Ford video had nothing to do with me noticing it either... I experienced it on the drive home from the dealership a month ago, I just watched the video two days ago. It was enough to think I had a problem with my Tundra on the drive home and thought about taking in to the dealer for them to check out. NO vehicle I have ever drove has been this bad, but my experience has been limited to Chevy Silverado's, Ford F-150's and the previous Toyota Tundra. This was not a problem in the previous Tundra over the same stretch of highway. Am I demanding a fix for this... no. Although it would be great if Toyota addressed this and came out with a fix... but I don't expect them to. Added weight does seem to help. A full tank of gas, and it does improve slightly. Slowing down from 70-75 to 55-60 helps keep control of the vehicle. Would have this changed my mind about buying a Tundra if I had known about it before. Probably not. On smooth road, it drives like a dream! Now if I can get the state to just improve all the roads, my problem will be solved!!!
