I've been behind or near several new F-150's on the road...and I've looked at mine in the mirror...never have I seen anything unusual. No bad shaking. Unless you're driving down the road and you're bouncing in the seat because the bed is shaking, I say don't worry about it. Sounds like a non-issue to me. The bed HAS TO shake SOME as you go over bumps or just on the normal road surface, a little. I don't see how this is a problem. Certainly not something to not buy a truck over. I've had cars (and have a couple now) that shake, rattle and roll more than my truck does. My truck has no shakes, nibbles, rattles, squeaks or anything else like that. It does however have a fuel gauge that keeps going down to E way too fast

 

I’ve followed several 2004 F150’s on the highway and have never seen the bed shake some refer to. If you’re driving on a rough road, it’s normal for something to shake especially off road driving.
I am concerned about my fuel gauge though, it seems to have a problem moving to the left very quickly; must be politically deficient.

 

fuel gauges .... the trouble they cause ...

Well the drivers side of my FX4 Flare looks as if its coming off LOL. like the idea of bagged rock just not the mpg change.

 

I also opted for 508ns and got the rear back-up sensors too! Just a few hundred bucks more, well worth it.

 

The bed on my S-crew shakes like a paint mixer over washboards and potholes. My old Chevys (99 and 01) never moved that much over the same roads. Oh well, that's what I get for getting the moonroof instead of the 508ns.

But hey, at least I was smart enough to order the 34-81AV Anti-vibration option for $154 extra.

 

I got that one too
