    Did the factory ever really correct the bed bounce?? I had a 2wd extended cab '10 and it did that sometimes on uneven hwy concrete now I have a '17 extended cab 4x4 and it still does the same thing as my '10 did. The sales guy told me that problem was fixed a long time ago and my new '17 should be smooth. What the heck is going on?? Tia

    They did not. However I am not sure that I would really consider it an issue. It is strange and annoying though.

    It is that way because of the bed having a c-channel frame under it. The c-channel allows for more flex and is less rigid;therefore when the bed gets loaded down it will allow the bed to articulate with the weight more than a fully boxed frame would allow.

    You don't want a weld on the frame to crack because of loaded bed articulation.

    The sales guy said something about the cab bushings were updated some years ago it allows the cab to flex a little more to absorb the bounce. Does that make sense??
