I don’t have a heavy foot. I thought it was just because the bed was empty. But, after reading all the reviews of people complaining about the same thing in SUVs and vans, I don’t think it’s just a truck thing. My old 92 F150 rode better when it was loaded. But, it didn’t spin on slightly wet roads. AND it had ordinary Firestone tires.
