Re: Bed Bounce Discussions
I just made a trip into California yesterday on I-10. The freeway in Banning Pass has a stretch of road between Banning and Beaumont that will shake the fillings out of your teeth...all concrete with 10' expansion joints. My Silverado used to beat me to death for about 10 miles. After reading all these horror stories about bed-bounce, I was worried about my Tundra coming unglued. I was pleasantly surprised when my Tundra did 100% better than my old Chevy. It was still bumpy, but watching the bed in my mirrors I could see only a small amount of bed-bounce...nothing like I expected, and a lot less than the Silverado. I have a 2wd, non-TRD, Short Bed and run 35psi in all tires. I have a Delta toolbox mounted in the front of the bed that probably adds about 1-200 lbs. I must say it was nice to get back to Arizona and smoothly cruise @ 75mph. By the way, averaged 18.8 mpg for the trip.
