I live in southern CA in the Palm Springs area. The worst part of I-10 is in the Banning / Beaumont area. I drive it on a regular basis. Lanes 1&2 (left side) are the bad lanes. Lanes 3&4 (right side) where the semi's roll are fine.

I have owned many dozen's of trucks over the years. Currently I own 04 ec/sb duramax, 05 rc/lb duramax, 91 chevy 2500 rc/lb and 08 Tundra 5.7 rc/sb.

In this section of I-10 all these trucks will suffer from this bounce. I won't call it BED bounce because the whole truck will experience it. Some trucks are worse than others, all depending on wheelbass, weight and design. My Tundra is easily the worst in this regard. When driving on this stretch of interstate by myself, the passenger seat will be shaking so bad you'd think it would break off it's mounts. Believe me, it's really bad.

On the other hand, on most roads this truck rides like a Mercedes. Firm but smooth. I added a TRD rear sway bar and it seemed to help but it's still pretty bad. It's obvious that there is a problem here.

Having said that, I love this truck and am willing to be stuck behind the semi's when driving this road. When there is a fix I will be one of the first to jump on it. If anyone finds it, please keep us informed.
