[QUOTE="thor1958, post: 1425389, member: 33774"] My experience: - scary first time it happens, since sudden, violent and unexpected. - traction control kicks in and corrects, retards There have been cases on rainy days where truck has been completely sideways and hefty counter steering has been needed to avoid going off the road or hit car in next lane. - happens while driving at normal speed and even going quite slow, if road is washboard type and/or with potholes. - Our company Ford Rangers or Toyota HiLux pickups I drive from time to time does not do this at all on very same road and place. - reducing air in front and rear tires help, but does not fix the problem, just makes it a bit less scary. - when driving on non tarmac road with same conditions, it does not do this and shows its true offroad capability. - I have tried to add weight at the back, lots of it (sand bags and rear bed divider to keep it in place). Actually not a big difference. Still jolts sideways and retardation kicks in (loss of power). - driving on this road every day, so it's easy to compare what works or not and only thing that removes the problem is going a lot slower, which also not good, but OK since 3 lanes - when it happens, the truck can easily slide over half way into the next lane, so having a car next to you is not a good idea. I hope Ford can come up with a solution to this, since uncomfortable for passengers and embarrassing for driver, as well as a bit dangerous from time to time. [/QUOTE]
