What kind of mileage have you gotten over your long-term test drive? Towing? One long tank on the highway?

I agree with all that stuff ....but what happened to the "bounce" problem???? I don't consider it to be a minor problem, it happens 100% of the time, wonder if Toyota is going to do anything or not????. Guess the 08 will tell the story...... great Truck otherwise......

Hey! just returned from St. Maarten and saw your reply,,,,
I recently went to my Toyota dealer for service on our 05 Sequoia and "bounced" all the trucks on the lot ,, just jump on the rear bumper... All the Tundras ,except the standard cab model, did the deed It must be that the frame is too thin and springy or the bed mounting is too puny????
Oh yeah,,, I didn't notice the same effect while "bouncing" the Chevys........ See what the 08's do....

I disagree very much Sir. I love this Tundra, but not the bouncy thing.... I drove a 67 Chevy 3/4 ton for 30 years " if you remember, the body was on a seperate A frame, and it had no such nonsense as this problem.....

I purchased a 07 crew max 4/4 2 weeks ago and feel a vibration between 35 and 40 miles per hour that is quite strong, like rolling over a rocky road.I wonder if any one has herd of this happening?

Did you check the tires for balancing? by drfill

Sometimes that clears it up. Especially on new tires/wheels.

I have 18" alloy's and michelin tires I would hope they would have been balanced at the factory but maybe not, I'll have them checked if it continues. Thanks

Tire balancing can be thrown off by anything. Hit a curb wrong, potholes, even getting off the delivery truck!
 
   Get a lifetime tire balance warranty at a Midas or something, and have it checked if you notice a drivability problem. Might as well do the same for your alignment. Can never be too careful.
 
   These aren't warranty issues. Stuff happens.

I suggest you go read the posts about this at TS (Tundrasolutions.com). They term it "Rumble Strip" vibrations. It is the tranny/torque converter, not the tires. Seems to be a very common issue with the problematic Tundra trannys. Toyota dealer will likely tell you that you can replace your tranny and you will have a 20% chance of getting another one with the same issues, or live with it until Toyota figures out the problem and fixes it. Here are few of about 20 threads on this, do a search for "rumble strip" on this site and you will find the rest of them.
