I have an '04 F150 Lariat. Beautiful truck. But its been to the dealership multiple times. At around 60mph the back end of the truck starts to bounce a bit. Had the truck aligned and new tires put on. Its better but not perfect. Talked to the Service manager. He asks" Ever own a truck before?". Then preceeds to tell me thatts how trucks drive.
So I went and picked another truck off the lot for a test drive. Even bounced worse than mine.
All I can say is when test driving pay close attention to the feel of the truck at about 58-60 mph on a straight smooth road. Just hold it there and see if it stays smooth.
The truck rides great at any other speed.
Maybe i just expect too much from a $30,000 truck that advertises its great car like feel and superb handling?
I drove my father inlaws '04 silvarado, and although the Ford rode better at every other speed, the Chevy did not start bouncing down the road at 60mph.
