"My wife complains that her BMW doesn't have a big enough trunk"
This isn't a concern with my F150 or nissan frontier. I have a cap on both of them and I have plenty of storage space.
The cap also helps dampen the box from bouncing.

I'm puzzled with some of these responses. We do realize we drive a truck, right? The empty bed is going to bounce on you. It's bolted to the frame, with small rubber spacers between it and the frame. Anytime the rear wheels go over a bump, this will transfer to the bed. Think your truck is bad? Watch some of those trucks that have been "slamed"; They bounce better than J-Lo's *** at a disco.
Place some weight in it, say some wood, some construction equipment, some bricks, a motorcycle, you know, stuff a truck was built for doing.
Or connect a trailer to it. Pull something. Use it for what it was designed for.
My wife complains that her BMW doesn't have a big enough trunk....when I tell her to trade it for a pickup or SUV, she gives me the strangest look; go figure.

I do haul stuff in my truck like my atv, garbage, etc but alot of the time its empty driving to work and back.

Could someone have removed them before you bought this truck? I doubt it was missed at the factory assembly line, but anythings possible.
