I didn't click on the link, but I think it's safe to assume that it's the Truth About Trucks video from Silver Creek or wherever it was... it's been posted at least a dozen times.

Sorry, I just noticed you're a fairly new member. Welcome to the forums!

Do you think the Ford testers loosened up or removed some frame/bed bolts before running that Tundra through the test course?

they would be sued so fast it would make your head spin. If they compare things like that it HAS to be honest. The lawsuit would put them out of business. Sounds like you love your tundra...

Huh? You're kidding right? Maybe I should make my signature a little larger for you... I would rather push my Super Duty than drive a Tundra.

Maybe they put weight in the F150's bed, because I know my F150 bounces just about as bad as that Chevy was when I hit some good bumps.

I don't believe that, if Ford did anything to modify those trucks to make the F150 look better they would find themselves in a huge lawsuit. Besides, Ford has a reputation to uphold. They don't need to make the F150 look better then the competition, it is better.

LOL when you questioned if Ford was on the honest roll for the test it sounded like you were defending the turd

One thing I did notice is a difference in wheelbase.

Chev Crew- 143.5 in
Yota Dcab - 145.7 in
F150 Screw Long bed - 150.2 in

Depending on the spacing of the "bumps" this could cause the difference we are seeing. Just some food for thought, and why don't they show the Ram or the Titan? Did they do alright in the test?

dudge may have done a little better... it has a boxed frame also.. but not as big. titan probly fell apart in pieces. But seriously.. I think it was time constraints and going for the most competitive trucks.

No. I have seen a new Tundra do the bed shake just driving down the freeway.
