Default Bed Rattle...Is It Normal

I have noticed that my bed rattles while driving. It is visible especially while driving slow but is loud as crap when going over bumps. Am I alone in this or does everyone have it?

Truck is going in Monday for the tranny TSB so I guess I'll ask about this of y'all don't have it

My new 2011 does this. My former 2010 had the solid glass back window, and now my 2011 has the power slider back there. When I have the slider open, I can hear the bed rattle when going over bumps. Seems to originate from the tailgate.

I never noticed it in my 2010 because I didn't have that slider to open and hear it ;-)

I thought it was my tailgate at first, I'd like to know how to fix it if there's not going to be a TSB.

My 09 does it and so did my 07! I had the sliding rear window on the 07 but not on my 09 so I don't notice it quite as bad.

My 2011 doesn't 'rattle' but the rear frame section has a bit of flex in it, I can see the bed moving.

Linex takes care of most of that rattle.

If you have the man step they tend to rattle when gong over bumps...

well I guess I will bring it up when I go in. They will probably keep it an extra week for that.
