Default Re: Bed bouncing question

I agree, there is bed bounce over certain terrains at certain speeds. I drive 29 miles each way to work, I take my Tundra once or twice a week and there is a quarter to 1/2 mile stretch of I 84 at Orchard in both the east and west bound (for those who know Boise, you know where) I get some bounce at 70-75 but I can see it is the concrete expansion joints. My wifes Nissan Armada soaks it up (all independent supsenion helps) but you do get the duddaduddadudda till your out of it. I have driven my truck down dirt roads that are like a wash board, and it bounced I sped up bounce went away, slowed down bounce came back, slowed down a little more bounce went away. We drive an 06 4x4 long box f-150 at work, it bounces the whole truck, its noisy, horrible breaks. But to each there own, I drove the GMT-900 (new GMC) in 1/2 and 3/4 ton (1/2 ton 6 times 3/4 3 times), they felt soft (no bounce) and did not give a positive feel, and I drove an 07 Titan Crew cab off road package (twice) it bounced as well till you adjusted the speed, before I decide on the tundra. I really wanted to buy the GMC, but it just was not there.
