Default Excessive BODY Roll - 2007 DC 4x2

Since his is my first post, I would like to start by saying that I really do love my truck. I've had Ford's and Chevy's, but the tundra truely is a joy to drive.

Yesterday, I had to make a quick correction while going 40 mph to avoid hitting a coyote on the road. The response was quick, but the result took everyting I had to control the truck from thrashing me and my two young boys.

Today, as I was going to work, I though I would do the quick steering wheel correction from a 3 & 9 position to a 1 & 7 and back again, and the results were the same.

I went to the dealer and took a test drive with the Service manager and the Shop forman and it seemed to me that they both thought I was crazy for even doing that kind of manuver.

I know we purchased a lite duty truck that's supposed to drive like a car, but under these conditions I'm not sure if the response from the Tundra should cause such an extreme body roll that makes you feel like your going to loose control. I hope for some comments.
