Is this the reason you dubbed your truck a P.O.S.? Grow up, and enjoy your Toyota.
I'm aware of the problems with the Tundra but I can fix the Tundra's suspension. You can't fix Ford's traction control problem.

I've had it with the "we know what's best for you mentality". I don't care if its manditory health insurance, manditory traction control, or the things that come next like manditory life insurance, manditory annual physicals, manditory jumping jacks in your front while you sing praises to the dear leader. It's destroying our country and our childrens future.

So yes, if there is any alternative the next time I buy a truck, I'll buy it. If all the brands start doing this crap then I'll just restore an older truck. In the mean time I'll bitch and complain every chance I get and if more people did the same, things might change.

As for you, just keep pressing your button. You'll fit right in with what's coming.

you post a video of a 2006 superduty with a SFA??? I'm sure Ford has worked with him of fixing it. Toyota' s death wobble is a huge problem. Toyota tells customers to put sand bags in the bed and won't touch the issue, hows that for a fix? So, pushing a traction control button is harder than re-doing an entire suspension flaw?? You have got to be S-itting me! You are mad at Ford because you want to change the tires to something NOT stock and expect them to cater to that? You are choosing to "customize" your truck, that is on you to figure out and work with, not Ford. Do you also expect them to figure out a tune if you add exhaust and intake?

actually, you can fix the traction control issue with a programmer - simple as that. or turning it off, which is also really easy.

you might be able to fix the suspension, but what good is a suspension when the frame its attached to isnt even boxed, or hydro formed or through welded. i believe that sort of engineering was popular with 57 chevy's

Actually I believe the death wobble on the tundra is from the frame and unfixable not a suspension issue

I believe you are correct, from what I've been reading about them since their introduction of the redesign. That is why they don't even want to touch the issue... you know, the toyota way. It's the same thinking that has bitten them in azz lately .

I did the same, levelin kits throw the pendulums off in the cab, which makes fast turns (10-35mph), kick the roll stability control in, it stinks!!! Mine will almost come to a complete stop, and will if i do not come off the gas pedal! Ford dealer says they cannot fix or turn off the pendulums, which causes this issue, its set from factory for the "nose dive" thease trucks come with. I have learned to listen for that grinding noise that happens when brakes apply... Goodluck, it doesnt get better than a truck that has my safety and family in mind.....

In reference to the F250 "Death Wobble". I had it on 2006 F250 and 2007 F250. It is bad and dangerous. There was a service bulletin issued.
It started on 2007 under warranty and dealer fixed. It started on 2006 under warranty but I did not get to dealer until out of warranty. They gave me lots of grief. Told me that service bulletin did not mean recall and I would have to pay.
Long story short, I called Ford and raised hell. Explained that it is dangerous and a safety issue. They eventually agreed to supply parts and dealer charged no labor.

I took it in last week and tested it out several times on the problem "spot" in town where the TC was kicking in. It appears that its fixed and I am very happy.

Maybe its just me...But I put a 2.5 AS level in front and 3" block in the rear with 35x12.50x20's and have not had the TC kick in yet, ive have even tried to get it to kick on. Keep in mind this is all on road driving, once I get it offroad it will kick in easily.
