Default Re: Possible Tundra Bed Bounce CURE FOUND

Quote:
also, all trucks that are in two pieces (i.e. not avalanches, el caminos etc) have parts of the body that move independently from one another. its a fact of life. if you guys think this so called "bed bounce" is an issue, try driving in an 80s or even older pickup. the beds werent even lined up when parked most of the time. things have improved tremendiously over the years but some people just cannot accept a truck is a truck and the bed wiggles. who cares
.
Ditto---over the past 10-15 years or so the big 3 started catering to the women and now the suspenions on their 1/2 tons is no different the a full size sedan. Drive a 1/2 ton chevy with a load in its bed and feel how mushy it feels---just like an old station wagon--but they had to please the little women--and if women had to drive an 80's or later pickup they would not have the sales of 1/2 tons they have now--they now build them as the family vehicle---a truck is built to give it's best ride with at least 1/2 of their max weight on-I said a "truck" now--if you want the car like ride them buy a big 3--Tundra is a truck and over bumps the bed is gonna bounce and if there's lots of bumps it's gonna be a basketball---You guys in Ca. dont know what bumps are till you get to Pa. or N.Y. --we got bumps you could lose your mother in law in---this truck does have a stiff suspension just go to a chevy ford lot and jump on the rear bumper and then jump on a Tundras and then tell me it's not stiff--Japan built it as a truck and a dang fine truck it is..
