JClark, after a few months and alot of miles on the truck their is a solution. Always have a load of 100lbs or more to elimate the problem. But if your are using this truck to tow a race car you will be fine. The TRD suspension is set up really firm from the factory, pretty much to carry a very heavy load in the bed. And with the consumers always demanding a more fuel efficient truck, toyota has to take weight out of the truck were they can. So what you get is a very light weight bed, and stiff suspension = a bumpy freeway ride a certain speeds. And some freeways really exaggerate this trait, espeically in my area. Any free with the "washboard" texture is terrible without a load in the bed. But with weight back there it is very managable, I'm still able to keep a conversation on my cell with someone. This was strange to me because my last truck (a chevy) was not like this, but then again it could not take the weight in the bed like the Tundra can. So there is a trade off. Still I LOVE the truck, and would not trade it for anything.
