Picked up new truck on Thursday, drove it on the hwy for the first time today and it feels like rear end is bouncing. Truck has 150 miles. I'm hoping it's just balacing that it needs, taking it back to dealer on Monday.
2014 F150 Limited 4WD.
Any ideas what could it be?

Reason: Add
Could be as simple as excessive pressure in the tires, together with an unloaded bed, will make it bouncy. Some people see the # on the sidewall (usually around 44psi max) and they shoot the air to em and don't consider any other possibilities. Easy to check anyway
If the tires were outta round a short drive would of corrected that.
not always true. I had to put 3000 miles on a set driving from Texas to here and Americas tire here they told me they where out of round so bad they replaced them. I was told its very common for tires to be oval in shape just most wont ever notice it if its only one tire or in the back
Thanks.
We bought 2 trucks that day both 4x4 one with the 18 inch rims, that one runs smooth as silk.
The steering on the Limited does not shake, is very steady the bouncing comes from the rear.
I don't think there's getting use to driving down the interstate with half the truck bouncing.

Any news from the dealership, MIKE1646? I'd like to get this in front of your regional customer service manager so they can help. To make that happen, PM me your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership; I'll get this moved up the chain.
