Ford Tough

Check the bed to cab alignment.

Passenger rear tire was against the bed in the wheelwell.

Passenger frame rail below door was deep in the sand.

Doors opened and shut perfectly even when in this position!

How the heel did they manage to do that? They have jumped the crap out of them trucks and i never seen one do this. There are vidoes on youtube of people jumping them at the sand dunes and they are fine.

I was a truck chassis development engineer for a few years and before you start the Chevy vs. Ford shit storm (yeah, I see your avatar)...understand that there isn't one single light-duty truck that can't be subjected to enough load input to bend a frame. I've seen them all do it.

I've seen the pictures.....and read some of the stories. All the pictures I've seen have been just like the one above. I don't see the impact of coming down off a jump bending it in that direction. Looks like they hit something with the front wheels that put a huge rearward force, and with the beefy suspension on these things it transfered into the frame instead of snapping the suspension. Or they crested something on a jump really hard.

Most of the the damage has been from casing a jump or a whoop section at higher speeds. When you're flying down a two track with decent whoops and the truck doesn't clear a whoop tends to fuck things up.

This truck takes some decent jumps without damage. The first time he lands short (casing the jump), but on the dry track he clears them fine.

I'll gladly take a Raptor and the possible risks with it.

Not really a GM biased guy.. that truck just happened to be the right deal at the right time.. Ive owned a Dodge and enjoyed driving the Ford's ive been behind the wheel of. But the Fact that Ford waves their dick around the media blabbering about how Fawesome the Raptor is then the frames start bending when people let em loose in the desert and they call it abuse. they are very capable trucks but for 40-50k in a half ton truck I'd expect better. I'd much rather build a Ram runner for less..
