Just a little info most Tundra's sold don't have the issue except in california and colorado on certain freeways. They have on this site mods that will resolve that issue for you. Sorry about your issue. I don't personally have that issue here in Jax, florida. Land too flat and have mostly asphalt. I have an 07 Crewmax Limited with 45,500 miles on it. Had it since July 07.

I drove it 1100 miles to get it home. All I can say is that Toyota has one royal screw up on their hands. I would never, never have purchased the truck had I known of this issue. I did test drive a 2008 crew max 5.7l 4WD with 7000 miles on it at the dealer. The salesman told me the shake was a "low tire". This bullshit needs to stop immediately. Toyota needs to make a full disclosure on this issue now and stop ALL Tundra sales unless full disclosure is made. I’ve owned my 2008 Tundra double cab 5.7l 4WD for a little over 24 hours.

I don't own a Tundra and i never will. I have driven many trucks and buses. I recently was driving a 2007 HIno308 (Toyota) Truck. not long before that I had a 2007 International 4300, both trucks were near the same wheelbase and GVWR. I live in London, Ontario, Canada and we have a highway that is concrete and causes this "bounce". I have Test Driven the Tundra on this road just to see what it is like. In that Hino, on that highway you could barely hold the steering wheel, total opposite in the International. I own an older F150 with 385000km(239279miles). No matter how fast or slow I drive, no shaking, no bouncing just a smooth comfy ride. My personal opinion, poorly designed frame tapered rear section biggest mistake. Look at a real truck evenly spaced rails front to rear. These frames carry 100,000lbs, pull 250,000lbs or better. I personally think that any trailer over 8000lbs should NOT be pulled by a class 1 truck, let alone 10 or 11,000lbs. I am a professional driver and i have seen the “tundra bounce” for myself.

I fly H-60 helicopters for the Navy and we spend a great deal of time tuning vibration absorbers on them. Each H-60 has 3 vibration absorbers that are hinged weights that vibrate in tune with the harmonic frequency of the helo vibrations. They are tuned by adding weights to the absorber until it comes in synch with the vibrations. You can really tell it when they get out of synch. For this bed shake problem, the spare tire essentially acts like a vibration absorber. If you can get it in tune with the vibrations, it will smooth things out. I don't think anything is wrong with the truck, Toyota just needs to figure out how to absorb the harmonics. Wish I had a suggestion for a fix. Any of the things listed above could work though if you get it in synch. Just my two cents. Not to beat a dead horse here but Matt is exactly right.

Wow you guys were serious about Bed Bounce - Page 5 - Tundra Solutions Forum Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:34:56 +0000 http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/2007/12/15/possible-bed-bounce-cure/#comment-2860 [...] Re: LOL! Wow you guys were serious about Bed Bounce So how much does this turnover ball hitch cost? I'm guessing it's going to be quite an expensive resolution for our bed bounce.. The Foam Device was a temporary fix if I recall. The density foam such as those sold in hardware stores for your knee support when laying floors, etc was squished up between the spare tire and Frame.. This separated the tire from the frame and allowed the tire to act like a Dampener. THe problem is.. Long term the density foam compressed and reestablished somewhat of a connection with the frame and the Tire Dampening effect was diminished.
