Dan,

This subject has been discussed at length on just about all of the Tundra forums ever since the '07s came out. I think what everyone has decided is that the bed bounce happens on certain roads/freeways where the undulation frequency of the road at certain times causes the "perfect storm" for the Tundra in terms of the wheelbase length & the back part of the frame being an open C-channel design and you get the bed-bounce phenomenon. Some have solved the problem by adding some weight to the bed.

If I remember correctly one guy stuffed a towel or something between the spare tire and the bed and that seemed to help.
