I've seen this before and it's obviously a deal made by ford. They shot the ford from some different camera angles to minimize the movement that their truck obviously has. The tundra seemed the worse. I would like to see a titan go over the same course.

"Staged and made for TV." Interesting if we could find out what the differences were in springs, shocks, and bed mounts.

I would have been shocked to see poorer performance out of the Ford that was most likely engineered to meet the conditions of that track.

Softer springs, better valving on the shocks, and even lower air pressure in the tires. Remember the Firestone debacle with the Ford Explorers? Ford mandated lower air pressure to soften the ride for owners. We also remember they tended to blow tires and roll-over.

I seen this before also, and they did the Titan and even Ford said it did well, other than the gas tank cover flew open. I wish I had the link for you guys. Search you tube and you might seen the original with the Titan.

It is different. Just looks odd. Like others have said, I would like to have been there to film the filming. Just to see how they did it.
I know the Tundra has a reported bed shake issue, but it CAN'T be that bad! That would rattle the fillings out of your teeth!
