Since that post, we received another 140 responses. While 240 people may not be a "mandate", it's definitely evidence there is an issue.

As for not including people that had no problems, I fail to see how that would have been meaningful. Unless every Tundra owner took the survey, the data we ended up with would have been pretty meaningless (of the people that bothered to fill out the survey, some percentage said they didn't suffer from bed bounce -- then what, extrapolate from that skewed result?).

As for your point about this being a non-issue, I don't know what to say. I think there are two kinds of bed bounce -- severe bed bounce that will rattle your cage, and minor bed bounce that you can see in the rear view mirror but not feel in the seat of your pants.

ALL trucks have minor bed bounce -- crossing railroad tracks, hitting big bumps, etc. The bed must move independently of the cab for a variety of reasons, and you'll always see the bed skittering and rattling a little. HOWEVER, when the bed bounce is severe enough to shake the interior of your car (you can find videos of this happening), that is a PROBLEM.

Anyways, I don't feel like I'm being productive here. I'll post again when I have some results to share.
