    Hello fellow Tundra Enthusiasts!

    My wife and I bought a 2022 Limited Tundra almost exactly one year ago. Like many of you, we have gone through some of our mileage recommended services, as well as a few recalls already. We love our truck don't get me wrong, but there are a few nit-picky things that make me never want to buy a 1st gen model ever again.

    The most recent thing we have been noticing is what we perceive as "excessive" bed shake. At times, driving down an average bumpy (dirt or paved, it is the same) road, there appears to be upwards of 2 inches of movement from the bed when watching from my rear view mirror.

    This is our first full size truck with a 6.5ft bed. Is that much vibration normal? We owned a 2016 Tacoma with a 5.5ft bed, and never once saw or worried about bed shake. I am starting to believe that this amount of vibration on our new truck is partially to blame for our warranty claim on our ARE topper. The topper's back window frame came loose and nearly fell off of the fiberglass body.

    Anyone else experiencing issues with their bed?

    Will never install TRD branded stuff on my Truck
    I came from a RAM 2500. and my Tundra has the 5.5 bed , and MAN does it shake! to the point it looks it will pop off. I contributed it being a 1500 and not as strong as the 2500 I came from that was 100% steel.

    I have the same "problem" shakes badly. I'm wondering if a normal thing, because I being watching videos on u tube and nobody mentioned anything about the bed. I have sr5 off road.
