| Description of the problem | When driving on concrete interstate highways at speeds over 65 mph there is excessive bed bounce on the pickup creating extreme vibration in the cabin and affecting the handling of the pickup. I complained to the toyota dealer and was told that this is normal for all pickups but i could correct it by loading weight in the box. It appears to be a design flaw that was supposed to be fixed on tech bulletin the 2007-2010 tundras, but the bed bounce problem on the 2013 tundra continues. I have owned 4 full sized 4 wheel drive pickups including a 2003 tundra and i have never experienced such a rough ride. |
