Default Shakey bed?

Is it just me or does this truck bed move an awful lot? I'm on gravel roads, through fields and goat trails a lot. And this being my 4th truck I've owned. It seems like this box wiggles around back there a lot more then other.

I sure hope it holds up :s

You think that's bad, look at a Tundra. Maybe someone will post the YouTube video of it compared to the F150.

Just watched a video of the toyotas. Hahaha. Makes me feel a lot better about my mild bounce.

Every truck bed will bounce a little as it has pretty much no relation to the front end except through the ladder frame. I don't so much see the bed bounce as I do feel it. The F-150 has always had a nice impact-absorbing frame and cab mounts that gives the driver lots of feedback. That's a good thing. My old Chevy felt like it had a more stable rear end because it didn't give much feedback to the driver through the seat. In reality, that truck's rear end loved to step out and I'd always be counter-steering to correct it over expansion joints and such.
