    Tacomas have a much lighter, composite bed. Maybe the Tundras all-metal bed does move a little more. :notsure:

    Yes, I see it especially if I am pushing the suspension. My '99 and '00 Tacoma's both did it as well. They both had a shell, so there was a bit more weight back there. My Grandpa told me once that trucks are designed that way or else they will snap, difference of a green stick vs. a dry one.
