Re: Do you think "bed bounce" is the latest anti-Tundra catch phrase?
No I don't. I for one do not make things up. Secondly I am definately not a troll. I do not work for Ford. I love my Tundra.
This is something I posted in another thread...maybe you haven't had the chance to read it:
The bed bounce issue is not imagined or does not only apply to people coming from a car to a truck. I have owned trucks my whole life.
It is all about the types of roads you are driving on. If you read the other bouncy bed threads you will notice that a lot of the people who experience it drive on the same exact roads...i.e. the 5 & 8 freeways here in Southern California. We are not all imagining it or even complaining...just trying to help Toyota figure out what's up.
At least from my viewpoint this is not propoganda. This is a statement of facts. Anyone who doubts me please feel free to come to San Diego and I will take you for a ride on our freeways. I know the exact spots by know that make the bed bounce a good 3-4 inches in the rear view mirror. I guess I will have to break down and make a video.

So does that mean macho truck guys are not supposed to notice the little nuances of their 35k truck? Does that mean that no matter what you read or hear you are happy cuz its a truck dammit!?
Right on Truck Guy...Right on!
PS.....I really do love my tundra...it is just the engineer in me that is curious.

I'm truly sorry for your truck problem. Like you I am not a troll (it's true because I say it's so), I have a totally different perspective than you about truck "bounce" with my new truck, so I'm having a very hard time with this bounce thing. All trucks I've owned ride stiffer, bumpier, than cars. If you are having a hard time controlling your truck or if it's causing some sort of physical pain, I'd get my money back. Seriously, if it's that bad, I know some lawyer will take the case.
Disclaimer: I do not have a Tundra, but I will hopefully own one in the next few months.
I was lucky enough to bump in to one guy about a month ago, at work with a Red Salsa SC with the 5.7. He stated that he absolutely loved the Tundra, but he has to avoid certain freeways, mainly the 15 and 52 in San Diego County because of the ride. I initially thought that the roads were in bad shape, but he reluctatly told me that it felt like the truck was shaking apart.
What stood out was that he mentioned that he looked in the rear view mirror, the vibration made it almost impossible to see clearly. He thought that he had a suspension problem, but the dealer pointed out that the truck only acted this way on certain stretches of the freeway.
My first thought was that he never owned a truck before and he was probably "over sensitive". These other threads on this forum that state the same experience certainly add credibility that the truck does bounced and or vibrate violantly on certain stretches. I intend to put a Snugtop cap and the line-x product on my truck, so the extra weight should help, but I have some concerns since I live in this general area.

When I drive from Arizona into California, all of my vehicles bounce! My Silverado bounced so bad that I had to keep a lid on my coffee. Most of the freeways are at least 30 years old and beat to death....and most of their road tax money goes into the General Fund to support those visiting from South of the Border.
My DC has no bounce...at least here in Arizona. I have yet to take it into California...I avoid that State as much as possible.

I think California ought to do something about that road, it seems to the "Tundra Killer" on this forum. Fortunately for me I live in Texas, where all the freeways are perfect.

That is one thing about Texas, highways are in very good condition. The instant you cross over to New Mexico... hold on to something roads are terrible.
Re: Do you think "bed bounce" is the latest anti-Tundra catch phrase?
Haha,
If were up to me, I would be out of here, (CA) so quickly that my head would spend, but my wife and family are here so.....I stay. I could sell my home and pay cash for a house elsewhere. It would be nice to have no mortgage.....
Oh yeah.....Texas is really flat so the roads are always perfect.
