    Hahahaha. Truck won’t blow around w that load in it. That’s getting close to gvwr.
    I took front sway bar off for off road and didn’t notice a difference until went camping the other weekend, had a little load on a lumber rack I use for kayaks. Noticed the wind quite a bit.

    I-40 in northern AZ gets winds that blow “high profile” vehicles over a couple times a year. That’s semi trucks and RV’s.
    When that happens they shut down the interstate.
    The effects of what you feel are a combination of wind speed, direction, and the wind load on your vehicle plus its weight and CoG.

    Wildest ride I had was fighting a 60mph crosswind in my 4Runner driving on I-40 near Winslow AZ. Had a Yakima SkyBox on top and it was all I could do to stay on the highway. What I hate the most however is fighting gusting crosswinds riding on a motorcycle. That'll amp up the pucker factor.

    You, more than likely, would seriously benefit from more caster in your alignment.

    Didn't read your post until after I'd posted my I-40 experience. It was crazy driving through there.

    Damn man, might get the ban stick for that image...and totally deserve it.

    No less than 40 guys on here would hit it...MGM guys. That’s why their trucks are slower.

    All jokes aside, check the tire pressure. With the factory 30/33 psi, the truck feels like mush to me. I felt best with 38-40 psi in the craptastic P Metric car tires.

    Give it some time and get used to your new truck. Before long you won’t even notice wind. Now there have been times keeping my truck on the road was hard enough, and I had some serious crosswinds.

    Hope your loving the Tundra. Starting mine up every morning always have me a shit eating grin.

    But seriously, I live in an area where 70mph+ is very common and I’m pretty sure if I opened a window in an upwind direction I’d take off like a kite at Hatteras.
